You deserve an award good sir.

... When it knows that you're working on it, and sends about 10 more problems your way.
She's getting cranky as she ages. -

Saw an article on Jalopnik that spurred the question. I'll start:
Mine was a 1998 Chevy S-10 5-speed 4 cylinder. A real hot rod I know. My dad was storing it at our house for the month the owner was away, and the guy said we could run errands in it. Little did he know a 13 year old would be learning to drive on his truck.
Never knew the difference. -
Looking forward to this coming out. I'm due for tires in about a month (perfect timing I know
) and it's between these and the Cooper AT3s. Needless to say, I'm really warming up to the BFGs, really nice tech in them. -
I want the field base worse than I have any right to.

Check fuse? It was that simple for why mine didn't work.
-Kyle
Check the fuses and relays under the hood as well as the ones behind the coin tray.
Am I the only one that saw you checked fuses? Mine has power but the clips for power acc. (like my GPS) don't always connect for some reason. I'd check for power at the socket first. If you have 12 v there then it's just you acc. connection.. Oh and there is no power when the key is OFF so it will only charge when you are driving or the key is on ACC. or ON.
Kev
Yes you are the only one lol.
I know it only operates in the ACC or ON position, I'll try to measure with a meter tomorrow... I'm genuinely perplexed. -
So you bought another camaro?

Have you tried the sockets themselves with a meter? Power to the center contact and ground to outer housing. With the key on or acc.
Not yet, I'll try that out tomorrow, just seems like there's zero power to any of them.
-
I'm having an issue where all of my power outlets/cigarette lighters aren't providing any power to charge my phone, cameras etc. I've checked the associated fuses and all are in perfect condition.
Any help?
-
^ above, or a defective set, pretty much a myriad of things related to the tires.
-
What rims are on that silver one, I kinda like it.
As for your question, I think you may have to clarify what you're asking. Are you wondering how manuals do off road vs automagics?
-
I have a pioneer deck, optonica amplifier and klipsch heresy one speakers circa ~1976. It's all hooked up to my computer as well, the sound is truly fantastic.
In a related question, anyone know where to get needles?
-
Go jack up the front end of your pathy until both front wheels are off the ground. Properly secure it (hand brake set, tranny in park, jack stands etc.), and grab ahold of the front tire, see if there's any play in either. There shouldn't be any movement, if there is, it may be your wheel bearings.
I went through the exact same issue, and it turned out to be my tires feathering. I had them balanced and rotated over and over again until I just live with it now, but it certainly has hastened my buying of new tires. (Next month).
-
hmm, i dont know for sure, but its worth a shot. They fairly cheap OEM, and if you are regular on oil changes, i can promise, that at-least one will be gross, and probably not doing its job correctly.
I changed mine, with no really steering problems, doing it on a hunch and suggestions from people on here. It looked fine, but as soon as i took it out, i knew it needed to be changed.
-Kyle
25k miles a year requires frequent oil changes, yes.
Would you happen to know what they're listed under on RockAuto, I don't see bushings in the 'steering' area. -
its SUPER EASY,
Remove bolt, remove bushing, re install new bushing, re install bolt. Given there is a little fuss getting the bushing around the rack, but its fairly self explanatory, just make sure you put the bushings on the right side!!! (YES, there is a right and a left), but its THAT easy.
-Kyle
Interesting.... could this be the source of a clunk when turning at full lock?
-
Could you find a writeup on how to replace that bushing XPLOR?
-
My personal sleeper choices would be a 90s big body Caprice (LT-1 power) or same era Buick Roadmaster. Solid axles, full frame, and looks that absolutely no one would expect.
Runner up: 94-99 Maxima, VQ30DE V6, and already runs 14s stock. But, and this is major, front wheel drive, limited aftermarket support etc etc. Still is a dream of mine.
-
I get rattles just the same. Not many for a 100k+ mile car but still

Just do exactly what ferrariowner123 said
. Very nice find, post some pics when you get a chance, I've got a soft spot for pearl. A good source for the trailer hitch would be amazon, autoanything, or etrailer. I don't tow all that often, but do use accessories like bike racks etc, with some frequency.

Would you mind posting which bolt sizes you use? Thanks!
-
Thanks for posting this up, did mine a little while back.

So far as I know there aren't any tuners for our rigs. Kinda bites, but that's what happens with a small aftermarket following.

Lots of sidewall issues with the duratracs in the deserts out here, but no problems on my dad's truck. I don't get it...
