I've been told that its a a real pain in the A$$
The wire harness has tones of wires in it.. its about the size of a 50Cent picce
-
i don't know what the deal is, sometimes they show, sometimes they don't.
-
i finally got some pics that i could post. None of them are that good and i've actually even wheeled it a little bit. When i get back home i'll get some more pics and post.
-
Yes, you have to change the wiring harnes as well as the ecu.
-
well, you all should keep your schedules open end of april.. lets keep in touch and we can all get together.. anybody got a winch?
-
The shocks i have are actually built for a F350 super duty. they are great!
-
Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Bonney Lake here.
I'm heading out of town on sunday for about 1 month. When i get back i gotta install my front gears and locker and get my driveline built.. then i'll be ready to rock.
The pathy is drivable.. i took her for a little 2 wheel action last night... drives great!
-
meanwhile back at the ranch...
I have some axle shafts that are in good shape, complete if anybody is interested.
drivers and passengers side. I'd be willing to sell each for say 20 bucks plus shipping.
IM me if interested

i'm looking for some guys to go riding with.
anybody in the Kent/ puyallup area?

On my 87 with manual hubs, if the hubs were locked, i could shift into 4 high up to about 50mph with no issues. on my 2000 frontier with auto hubs anything over about 20 mph made griding sounds in the xfer case. i belive this is due to the auto hubs not being engaged and the gears trying to mesh with a non turning gear. But on the manual hubs the front drive line is actually turning same speed as the rear thus, the gears are tuning the same speed.
Make your own conclusion

x terra all the way

all your shock needs and information. don't concern yourself with loop holes size as they come with all adaptors you may need.

Go to HomeDepot and get some of the EPDM pond liner. It's abut $10-15 per foot and foot = 1 foot x 18 feet so all you need is about $15 of it. That stuff is INDESTRUCTIBLE and perfect for the job.
i never thought of that,,, thats a great idea!
know i know how to fill in all my gaps form the lift
-
Those starters will try your patience! Especially for a first time removal on a lunch hour on a very cold January day. I was pretty much ready to get it towed to a garage.
Easiest and fastest way I have found is to remove the oil filter first of course.
Then, slide the starter forward as far as it will go, then slide it back and up towards you while twisting it back and forth so you can fit it up and out on the passenger side fender well. That method literally takes just a few minutes as DSM_guy said.
yep what he said, same thing when i did my 87
that oil filter is in the way
-
did you replace the rotor as well?
did you check the gap on the new plugs before installing them?
if so, possible MAF sensor
it sounds like a spark issue to me though
-
if your throwing in a new clutch, resurface the fly wheel - NO ifs, buts or maybes.
yep what he said,, @!*% it only costs 20-30 bucks to have it resurfaced
I can tell from the color in the pic that you SHOULD have in turned

Ya down your way.
Question about the patrol axles.
i was looking at one that was lifted with about 35s on in, LPG conversion when i was working in new Castle. the front axle is Knecked down right before the C going to the outer knuckles. Is this on all patrols and if so, is it a problem?
-study-
-
Vsicks,
Just currious, I didn't know the patrols had driver side drop. What year did they have the drivers side drop?
maybe if i read the entire thread i'd have noticed whay you said... oops :bow:
-
Patrols!!!!!
patrol axles have the drop on the wrong size.
as far as sas... Waggy would be the cheapest and easiest. go leaf springs
ford bronco.. the HP on the bronco is very close to center and you might have problems with the oil pan.
also in order to get disk brakes on your pathy with a ford conversion you would have to use full width. then you have to change the rear end too. ford didn't put disk brakes on them till 76 i believe.
the full width axles won't cause oil pan problems cause the diff is a little bit more on the drivers side.. just like an inch or so
-
Yup, what JJ said.
The V8 engine is much heavier so requires higher spring rates.
The 6 cylinder springs will likely fit, but whether your truck will end up sitting higher than stock or not is an unknown. But definitely lower than if you used the V8 springs. The final height depends on the static length of the spring AND the spring rate. Spring rate is determined by the diameter and length of the spring wire (uncoiled).
I thought that the coil rate was a combination of teh wire thickness used for the coils and the distance between the coils. if you ever look at varaible rate coils, the coils are closer together at the top than they are at the bottom..

Huh, gonna have to look at my Mom's SLK. So we're looking at the angle the wheel is leaning over while turning, as opposed to the difference in degree of turning of each wheel one could imagine while looking from above or below?
its called the acherman angle. All vehicles have it to some degree, its cause in a turn, your inside tire has a tighter radius than the ouside tire. But it should be screatching, could be just a bit out of wack.
-
i take it you broke the little plastic thing htat actually holes it on.. ya, when you find one let me know, i broke mine 10 years ago and have still to find a replacement
-
I have used them on motor boat engines. The only problem with them, is normally they go down your dip stick hole and you can't get all the crap out of the bottom of the pan
-
you should be able to, i have 6.5's in my two door. however.. if you want to get some that are good, you will have to get some with Neo Dimium magnets. They are half the size and 2x the power. normal magnets will cause interferance problems.
I also have 6x9's in the back

Back when i first bought my Pathy, it started running crappy. I pulled the filter and it ran worse just as you discribe. i put a new air filter and it ran perfect.
This being said, and i know you changed the filter, I would say it has somethign to do with your air to fuel mixture.
did you get those little hoses reconnected at the back of the air filter housing? there are 2 of them that are a pain in the A$$
Good luck
