Long time lurker, minimal poster looking for part #27742-84G00! A little history, I decided to start a restoration on my 92 SE after it sat during covid and so far have: replaced the transmission, clutch and serviced the drive train. replaced the exhaust system from the block back. replaced the shocks, brakes and front ball joints (bushings and other parts on hold). replaced the timing belt, water pump, coolant sensor, cooling fan. replaced the starter and alternator. replaced the knock sensor, #1 cylinder injector, plug wires, and distributor. gutted the vehicle and deep cleaned the interior. I've been able to source many replacement parts from Ebay, Japan, and Portland, Oregon's Pick-n-pull yards (great source by the way), but this blend door actuator has been impossible to source. I want to get it to body and paint (it's got rust in all the "right" places for a WD 21) but the body, frame and interior are otherwise in good shape for 265,000+ miles. I bought this truck new in 1991 and it's become a family heirloom. My son wants it when I no longer can drive it (manual transmission). Does anyone out there have a source for this part? I hate that my resto hinges on what seems to be a relatively inexpensive, easy fix. All help is appreciated.

Hi everyone, I just got a 98 XE. It is in really good condition apart from a slight murmur at low rpm. Mechanic said it needs a refurbished ECM. This was after putting in 900 bucks for a fuel injector. So far she drives great, and cosmetically she is in good condition. I am currently having the AC looked at. California can get hot (not bad right now.) Anyone have advice for driving and owning a car this old? I'm a newb, but then again I did not grow up with a lot so I'm learning as I go. The tires are almost 6 years old but I'm trying to get some miles out of them until I can afford new ones. I'm just trying to push her well beyond her 143k miles. I see a lot of them that have gone well beyond that. Thanks.

I'm replacing my AC condenser (and drier) in my 95 and I'm trying to figure out the capacities and volume of oil and refrigerant to put in. The system has been fully vacuum evacuated. The capacity charts from the third party companies seem like a ton of both - almost seems like double what it ought to be. And they also don't seem to line up with what I'm seeing in the service manual. Of course it's hard to know if the oil to refrigerant ratio was right when the system was emptied... So how does one ensure the right amount of oil is in the system? And then what should be the volumes or pressures I should be aiming for?
