ditch that pos factory alarm bud.. You can get a nice clifford for under $150 lifetime warranty. Those alarms doesnt work half the time and you dont want it malfunctioning on you. Ive learned my lesson..as some of you might know that my truck was stolen..I have the alarm on and the thief still managed to break my doorlock and have enough time to break my ignition and start it.I know my impact is working prior to the break in because one time I accidentally slammed the hood shut while armed Im going to put a clifford on my truck and its well worth the investment. I never thought that my truck would get stolen having an alarm in it.I also assumed that it has engine start cut off..my fault on that part for not checking the alarm function and now Im paying the price Those factory alarm I believe has a 10 second delay when the door is opened while armed before it goes off..Im going with an instant trigger...heck if I lose the remote I wouldnt care if it goes off instantly when I open it.

Im going to try to start it tomorrow. I think that the key barrel is just hangin below the column. I didnt even thought of starting it when I was checking the damaages. Im planning on restoring her again.

I have not checked on my home owners policy yet but doesnt it only covers theft if its in your property? My rig was stolen from a hotel parking lot

Hey guys can somebody give me an advice in regards about insurance claims My pathy was stolen 2 weeks ago and was just recovered last monday The problem im having with the insurance is the claims adjuster told me that it is going to be totaled at $2290 or I can take a check for $2000 The list of the parts that was removed from my pathy alone is over $2000 present value.These are parts that was attached to the vehicle and not personal property thats just laying inside the truck. Were not even sure yet if the pathy will run because I have not started it..The ignition is busted..Im just hoping that the punks that stole it just ran out of gas and left it in an orv park here. What pissed me off is that the claims adjuster came up with the total damage of $2000 (damage to the truck and parts removed)going by AUTOSOURCE and not Kelly bluebook. I dont think that the claims adjuster even bothered to itemize the parts that was damaged and missing after probably doing a check on that autosource.He kept insisting that the damages is worth more than the pathy which is valued only at $2290 with all the accesories It wouldve been worst if the truck was never found...They will just give me what they think its worth. I am lucky enough that it was recovered Does anyone have any advice on what steps I should take at this point? I am not going to take a couple of grand settlement I figured that for me to fix the damages is around $2500,thats replacing all the damaged parts and accesories on the truck and ofcourse doing the work myself Pathy has 96021 miles and I would say in excellent condition Your help is greatly appreciated guys. This is my first having a vehicle stolen Heres some pics of before and after

I use weathertech or Cannon on both my pathys and by far the best floormats I have ever spent my money on..lifetime warranty too. The one on my 93 actually came off of my old supra that I originally bought 8 years ago..Them floormats are tough..after 8 years you couldnt even tell its been used..I hose it atleast once a month and spray some tire shine on it to protect it As far as fitment the set on my wifes pathy fits perfect..SEARCH EBAY And you can find a front set for $55 and its worth every penny IMO heres a set Weathertech

its not just a small panel to access it..you have to pop the whole panel off below the rear window and the timer is behind the panel

just put a couple of washers under the latch lock where its held down by 2 12mm bolt..i think its 12mm

You can maybe try the recorder on your cellphone B

Thanks B..I can always count on you bud :coffee!:

g'morning all.. This might be a stupid question but I have not jacked up the rear of my pathy before, Im going to be working on my rear brakes today and my question is Do I jack up the rear with the jack in the center of the rear diff?im going to use wheel block in the front tires and is there anything else I need to do to keep the truck from rolling forward once the rear is jacked up? Thanks folks

looking at your sig those for lights are factory

ill be watching this post...pretty interesting there B

check your fuel line close to the distributor or somewhere in that area..theres a rubber fuel line there that connects to the injectors aluminum line...make sure the hose clamp is tight..this happened to me a few years back after I did my tbelt

thanks for the link..Thats how i used to bleed my brakes but I thought the shortcut way would work the same...NOT!! ...if was so spongy when I did it yesterday...I went and bleed them again the old school way and much much better now..now I can just kinda tap on the pedals

oh and dont forget the 12 pack in a cooler thats within reach...lol

looking pretty good B..patience is the key on installing this headers..Thomas came over and helped me out on the egr fittings..we used a tiny pipe wrench and it worked out real good...its short but it has a big jaw opening...im assuming that youre also getting some new cat and muffler for that set up ...keep us posted

Those set of bolts looks darn good but pricey though..Is that a reverse torx a t60 maybe?..Did you use thread lock on the set screw?

I cleaned the inside some more with a dremel with a tiny wire brush tip and it went in ...need to break that hardened crud inside...The pins are all the same lenght Thanks for reminding me on that lube in little packets bud..I bought 2 and smeared it all over that pin and on the metal part of the pad...test drive it after lunch :coffee!: By the way , how do you bleed your brakes? I was told to just take the lid off of the brake reservoir and push on the pistons and let it overflow..I guess this is a shortcut.

Hey guys Im replacing the front disc brake pads on my wifes truck and for some reason I could not get the bottom mount of the brake cylinder body to slide in on the pinbolt...It has about an 8th of an inch more that needs to go inside where the pinbolts slides in...the lower pinbolt it already all the way in and I even used a c clamp to compress it more could the pads be thicker than whats recommended, its a autozone semi metallic pads..both pistons are also compressed all the way in and brake pads are both sitting flush in the disc surface.. I also cleaned inside the hole where the pinbolt slides in and theres no dirt or debris in there heres a pic of what I was refering to

Thanks guys...180 it is

13-16 ft.lbs according to the manual..I have not seen or heard anybody here using stainless bolts for them reason why I went with grade 8 zinc plated just a headsup on the bolt removal Try to use torque extender instead of crowsfeet wrench on them bolts B..itll make your job a heck of a lot easier.I was able to do my wifes pathy without a lift with ease http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=hand&item_ID=2219&group_ID=268&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog standard set http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=2221&group_ID=269&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog metric set

what temperature do you guys use for your thermostat? Msnual says 170/190..would I be safe using a 180 ?

I eliminated the factory stud and nuts and washers..I used a grade 8 bolt (gold in color) ..I just retorque it every year around summer time B dont use stainless because they are not as strong as a zinc plated grade 8 bolts...as per some members and the guys at my local fastener shop

Cool red..Im going to have to give it a whirl this weekend after installing the tranny on the wifes pathy.. Thanks bud

awesosme....Id really like to have a bigger alty but after looking at that other post seems that there has to be a lot of grinding on the alty (voids the warranty too)..I dont mind doing it once but how if the alty fails and id have to grind the replacement again...I was thinking on thaT MOD why not grind the bracket on top and make it narrower to accomodate the narrower top mounts on those quest alty. but anyhow your install is better if theres no mod that has to be done on the alty
