  1. I got it pulled out, and was going to test it like the FSM says, but there is no way to get a meter to touch the terminals with the connector connected. (Like on page EC-133)

     

    I forget exactly what it looks like, but where the wires go into the distributer there are a couple of screws you can take out then you can slide the pins from the meter under the rubber.

  2. I live at 9000' and when I go down to Denver I have trouble getting into 1st from a stop. If I am still rolling some it will usually slide right in. From a stop I will have to put it in 2nd or 3rd then go to 1st from there. The clutch reservoir is full. Could it be air in the lines? If so how many and where are the bleeders? It looks like there is one on the passenger side of the firewall. Are there more?

     

    It is just weird how it works just fine in the mountains, but not down in the city

  3. I took it off today, and no more whine. It looks like the bearing is just held in with a snap ring. I'm just going to change it out when ever I get a chance.

    I didn't see many wires going to the compressor. one looked like a sensor and there was one black wire that could be disconnected easily. I want to cut the power to it so that it won't turn on to lube and seize up.

  4. There is a leak in my ac system so it wouldn't affect the defrost. I sprayed some wd40 on it two days ago and now it isn't making as much noise. I haven't had a chance to work on it yet, I've been too busy, maybe in the morning. What if I remove the pulley and belt, then disconnect the wiring harness so it doesn't kick on to lube up?

  5. A couple weeks ago driving down the pass I heard a whine that sounded like like bad gears or tranny. It was coming from the front and I was in 4wd, so thinking that it was the front diff I put it in 2wd and nothing changed. When I looked under the hood it sounds like it is coming from the pulley above the cooling fan or behind there in the timing area. The whine gets louder depending on RPMs. It doesn't matter if it is under load or not.

    I don't know what this pulley is for or if this is a typical symptom of something about to break. Thanks for any help upfront.

  6. I cleaned the contacts in my switch and brights work great. Sometimes only one will come on so I just switch it off then on again and all good. I would try just cleaning it first since a new one is like $50

  7. Are the suspension parts on ebay any good? I would think at that price they wouldn't even make it down a trail. I would check out Rockauto.com for tierods and ball joints.

     

    I heard somewhere that we can get beefier tierod ends from a Chevy or something. Does anyone know which truck?

  8. I like mine. I just put some Skyjaker nitro shocks on and had to cut them some. I just made the fat side the same as the other. The shock has clearance the full range now. They even dented the Calmini shock that came with them. I have heard that the new ones don't squeak any more. I just use a marine lube on mine once a year and they don't squeak.
