They've moved to drivers side for some reason.

You know I really don't have a clue. It's never passed. If I overall pass I'm happy.

Got a rebuild kit for my BW4485 transfer case. Then I'll get a performance driveshaft.

Good bearings in this kit. NT and Nachi. Real BW chain too.

 

[tgui]

Neat. Air suspension pump got really quiet when we hit 25F.

 

[tgui]

I havent fixed the suspension yet. It got better when things warmed up. I did get time to replace the valve cover with built-in pcv.

170k miles and looks OK!

Gross.

Doing a full power steering rebuild, well, almost. Mines a crazy rusted mess.

That whole setup is on my "To Do" list as well!

Every time I open the hood all I can think is "Man, how does this power steering still work?? Gross."

I got this.

Has this.

Goes like this.

Ends like this.

I am sure you probably already know this but when you reinstall that pulley, make sure you get it lined up perfectly with the other pulleys or you will end up with a belt that squeals and it's hard to diagnose... it only takes being off by a hair and it will drive you nuts.

I know I'm jumping around a bit but I FINALLY, after a year, found how I want to wire in my wideband. The last piece is a MBEC (box by driver's feet) connector that more easily makes accessible, ground, ignition signal, and 30 amps of power.

I'll finish power steering this weekend but am excited to finally get fueling properly dialed in.

I'll make a how to.

 

[tgui]

Baby steps.

 

[tgui]

I need two other lines to the steering rack. Crap.

Also, do I just take care of the oil pan seal now? Drop diff, blah blah blah. Then pickup tube seal? Then camshaft. Then then then....

 

[tgui]

Great place for a fight, you flea bags.

 

[Geoffsfas10]

looks like a perfect place for them to fight....why should they do it somewhere ya know....convenient?!

i feel ya on the pan leak...and then this and that etc etc

 

[tgui]

Damn. The steering rack is f*cked. One of the old lines snapped off inside. I can either spend time trying to drill it out chancing getting crap in the lines and killing the new pump.

Or I can replace the 170k mile rack.

$$, ouch, but I'll replace.

I'm soooo blessed to have another car to drive around. This will take a while.

EDIT: Ok if the rack is coming our then I'll drop the diff and see what I can do about the oil pan gasket. This small project just got big.

 

[tgui]

Bye Felicia.

Wow, new one just arrived. I've used a number of 1aauto vids to learn stuff so I tried them for parts this time. Fast shipping. Looks nice. General part. Lifetime warranty. We will see.
