welcome to npora

Im gonna go ahead here and pre-ban the ACLU and the NAACP before they show up to sue and protest Nunya for being a racist and a sexist.... Although I think he may innocent on most of the charges put forth.

Hey All! My oil pressure gauge on goes to a little under the first line - I am assuming thats 40 whats the normal range for this gauge? Thanks!

dang... might want to get your alt checked? maybe check your ground cable off the bat?? weird stuff

I quit running retreads when one blew on me and flipped around and crinkled my whole wheel well. looked something like this:

wow... learn something every time i come in here... is this true on all fans w clutches?

Ban NismoThunder for Banning Nunya as Nunya has already been banned 22 times in this thread..

I am from the bustling metropolis of Clayton North Carolina - wrong side of the tracks just off the side road!

Dear Santa, I want: 3" Body Lift - found here 3" Suspension Lift - found here Steering Stabilizer - here Oil Filter Relocator - there -OR- Just some work lately and I will buy them myself. -and- A lifetime membership to NPORA and about 16lbs of that delicious sliced bbq chicken they make up there at the Lowes Foods Deli. Oh yeah... and a Pool,... so my wife can get a Pool Boy and leave my A$$ alone for Gods' sake! and world peace, good will towards all men, yada yada yada BTW: Tell Mrs. Clause I said "Wassup!" oh and don't worry bout coming down the chimney this year as I blocked it off with some plywood to try and fight that terrible odor them birds left behind over the summer - just come in the back door and help yourself to a beer and what not. If my wife is still up when you get in, just do whatever and take your time, I'll be sleeping.

Were you drunk? Where did you think all that oil was going if not on the ground? Funny though... You can have your man card back... I figure it takes a bigger man to admit to such skill, lol. I accidentally fixed a leaky squealing power steering pump one time... I had to fill the dam reservoir up every morning.. one day, I accidentally put brake fluid in the PS pump, cranked the car up and no squeal.. and it stopped leaking...

when you put it in gear, does it grab hard / normal as it dies ...? or... does it die as you drop into gear? when in park or neutral - can you rev it up, does it run normal? i would quit throwing parts at it, pretty obvious that aint fixing it. probably other stuff you wanted to spend your money on - pita that's for sure I had a truck a while back.. not a pathy.. it had a bad safety switch thing on the trans that made it do that same thing - (the thing that keeps you from cranking up in gear). I did that same thing as you trying to fix it and I wasn't even close to the problem.. literally probly not the help your looking for, just my

yep... just something wet - runs fine today... thanks

OK thanks guys, case closed then.

Hey All! Yesterday I took my front wheels off and used my pressure washer to blast the grime and grease off the lower part of the motor - both sides. Today... it has a miss. I did not water down the top side of engine ( except on either side of motor ) It does not miss at idle or low load, but misses like hell when I press the gas more than granny style. Any ideas? And as always... thank you in advance!

Yeah the meth man strikes again, lol

ok we can close this one then - I went to the LKQ pull your part junk yard today and nabbed the alt out of a 94 truck with a v6 for $17 - im guessing its a 70amp the connections were in different spots and the harness connector was a little different so I clipped off the harness up the wires a bit and spliced the 2 wires in it to the ones on my pathy. Now my gauge is showing a steady 13v and all is good as far as I can tell. Glad I didnt have to give $100+ for the thing~ Thanks for all your help guys!

Yeah, beats me if its working properly or not - no sure if there is liquid in it, just sounds like its gurgling - wasnt sure if that was normal or not...

Hey all! Got my alternator done today and now with the knocking and grinding sound gone, I noticed a new noise that could not be heard over the old rattlin alt. The noise emanates from this thing and sounds like a coffee maker percolating, it that normal or should I do something? Item in question pictured below: and as always - thank you in advance!

Thanks guys! Will try to find a 78amp! Need something fast though cause the one that is on there does not charge and is making quite a racket!

So I was surveying the engine compartment this morning and I found the oil filter.... jeezzzz Is there a retro-fit thingamajig that will relocate the oil filter somewhere else?

LOL - I have no idear on wth is up with da red.... I guess the previous owner must have been on meth or something and thought "Hey, Ya know what would be sweet?" whilst shaking a can of krylon fire engine touch up... I will be rectifying that situation asap! I got some feelers out here on the boards for ppl parting out their 87's, I need a few things... I need a new alternator or used... what models can I take one from that will match up?

thanks guys - I appreciate it
