Slick

and here's where it lives at the bottom....

yes yes.. i am heading out there inna second.. dave is up and on his way over with another new hose... any other pics anyone wants? as for the hose locale.. i will take pics.. but if you look down the side of yer dist cap cover where the wires come out.. look DOWN... in that little gap between the fuel rail and the back of the t-belt cover.... you can barely see it.. i spotted it because after i got all the covers/betls off i was checking the t-stat housing and floowed it up.... that's when i saw the gaping hole in that hose.. i never knew it was there either! they call it an upper bypass hose... mm K whatever..... lol ok. the hose itself is no longer than 6" total (that's with a bend in it) Here's where it lives at the top...

at least he's honest. lol as for the clutch.. when do you plan on installing the sc? OEM equipment can take a beating... i was going to get the CF II until it realized it would cost me $437 and OEM was $178... and it has been great. I do a lot of shifting of gears and i also use it for off road and have never had a problem with it.

sssh I have been having this issue (losing coolant from no visible place) and don't know where it's going to.. so! if yer pathy runs fine but stuff like.. you're temp will suddenly rise to over heating then drop all of a sudden.. or one minute you're rad cap has pressure and the next you can take it off with the motor hot hot hot without so much as a pssst.. then read on! I have been losing coolant "internally" for about 2-3 months now. Uses a lot of water/coolant every week or 2 but no visible signs of a leak. I had blown my upper rad hose about 5 months ago.... my lower hose is good. I would check for drips...dampness and any signs of leakage under the hood, with no success, so i assumed, being as i have had the "gas in the oil' smell and white/blueish smoke with the tail pipe drip deal going on that i was losing coolant internally... well... here's the kicker. put a brand new bottle of bars leak in the rad Sunday night, as i knew dave n i had a loong drive to UC Davis for his pre-op appt.. so i figured i'd put the bars leak in then top up with water at his house before we left in the am. on the 3 mile drive to his house my temp gauges shot from cold to way past hot.... then dropped back down... i thought maybe because the abrs leak hadn't dissolved all the way and my rad cap was hard to put on.. anyhoo.. we hit the road.. i am puttin along at 65mph in traffic.. when all of a sudden i see this plume of what i thought was smoke behind me (wow.. i have never seen cars scatter like that!!) i pulled over.. popped the hood and coolant, bars leak and water EVERYWHERE. It was UGLY. Checked the hoses.. nothin. checked the rad cap. nothin. put what water i did have in the truck and drove her off the freeway to a safer AAA pick up point. get her home.. swear..cuss...call UC Davis... go outside.. snoop around.. decide i have to begin pulling things off as i can't see the h2o pump to check it.. 10 mins.. i have rad, fan, belts off.. pop the t-belt cover.. snoop around.. t-belt is dry as a bone while everything else got DRENCHED. :bow: thank god for small mercies. Did i aslo mention it was the start of my 'weekend"? mm.. yeah. so i get to pokin n proddin around.. and lo and behold i peer behind the back t-belt cover plate.. next to the sitributor cap cover.. and there is a little bitty hose you can barely see.... with the BIGGEST split i have ever seen in any hose! (see pic below) Welp.. almost impossible to get to.. i begin tugging and pulling.. dave comes over to add some extra muscle to the extraction.. we get it off and trot down to krangens. they don't have a hose that matches exactly, but one very close.. just has to be cut to size. ok.. i cut it. left it a tad long just in case. DON'T. got the top on ok.. but the bottom wouldn't stay in because it was too long.. dave beat it into submission twice.. but it popped off before we could get the clamps tight.. he finally ended up killing it with a screwdriver he was using to coax it into place. Today we go down and get yet another $6 hose.. and try again. I will take more pics today when the frost is gone and the sun comes up a bit more and dave arrives with reinforcements.... -alcohol-

:contract: you got that right.. hehehe... yes.. dave = thunderbox... the nickname i gave dave's chevy 2 years ago when it had a racing 454 in it..cuz that baby THUNDERED! i had started bidding before dave woke up.. then when i realized dude wanted it bad i let dave snipe it for me at the end.. and we won! -bounce-

ditto. i also got the how-to from nissan from their shop manual while i was there picking up manifold studs...helped a LOT. -bounce-

:cool2: cool harbie!! lots of projects you can do now!

how'd you do that pezzy to the color?? if i gave you a pic of mine could you show me some colors? or tell me how i can do it?? (i have a few diff prgrams dunno if i can do that on them though) back to the topic! camo......... if you make a mistake..no one will notice.. you can rhinoline the truck THEN paint the camo........ for aome reason a camo truck aorund here always gets more respect... whatever you decide to do....please.....anything but hemi orange!!!!! :oops: how about viper red.. or rootbeer brown...........or reddish burgundy.....

:eek: congratulations!!!!!! :cool2:

fear not the boneyard belts. as stated above, even ones exposed to the elements can tow a truck (been there. done that).. as long as they are in good working order and not ripped or torn.. you will be fine.... unless you plan on strapping an elephant into the back of your pathy?

yeah. my thorleys rattled too.. i just went down to my local muffler shop (the ones who built the rest of my exhaust) and he slapped a nice u joint on there.. been on there 10 months now works like a charm. free of charge

you are correct. it is a sensor for the motor. Here it is on my '92. BIOTCH to get to unless the motor is out. FYI: that pic was taken with the motor out. the sensor is at the back of the motor

i got it for $13.05

i am most pleased. i had dave bid in the last few seconds cuz the other guy is a collector and as soon as i made my first bid he came back within 10 mins and outbid me.. so i waited the remaining 2 hours n had dave snipe it -bounce- -bounce-

-bounce- WOOOOOOOOOOOOT! -bounce- i won the 1st gen 4 door pathy (the black one)

-bounce- niiiiiice pics...and the house n vehicles in them!! the pathy is just far too clean though.... need to go find some mud to add character

:o that red pathy is up to $86 now!! I just bid on the 1st gen 4 door black one.. 2 hrs to go..thanks pezzy...i'm sure dave will love ya for this one..lol -bounce-

well.. i also have bigger tires on her now, but yes, the Rancho are longer shocks than stock. If you put more lift on you may want to even go with the Rancho 9000's like i believe 88 has... once i do body & susp lift i will be going with 9000's, but until then, the 5000's work great

ooooooh... monster trucks! coooool. yeah.. taking things in steps is best for sanity. Sounds like you got a good start though.

:eek: woooot!!! You're BACK!! YAAAAAAAAY -bounce- nice to see you again! Pathy still lookin pimped out n purty as ever..and I lOVE the street sign! awesome. Glad you had a ncie vacation and now have new emploment.

and slick thats a clean bay, wish mine was like that momma looks after her baby

(super stock) with monroes....

as long as you are stock........

put brand new Monroes on my Pathy before I did the JGCC lift... they were really good (one down from the sensa-trak).. now runnin Rancho 5000's.. love them too... droolers? Bilstein or Pro Comps..oooh....yeah -bounce-

all right already!!! geeeeeze! i been tired... and busy! and it's been rainin... (not that i care but dave is a bit delicate) it will be done sometime this week...
