Hey all, just packed my wheel bearings for the first time. google is insistent the the correct way is to seat the bearing (already done) back off the nut, torque it to about 27 foot pounds and then back it off 45 degrees. i have always been taught to do finger-tight on these wheel bearings, and mine were finger tight when i pulled them off. what is the correct method?
I got a new drier to replace my old one on my 97 pickup but it’s missing the port that the high pressure sensor goes into. I’ve looked online for others but they all seem to be missing it too. Is there a work around or am I screwed here?
This wire had been like this for months. Where does it go? I hit it with a wrench and it is hot.
as long as it doesnt dip think i can just assemble and k seal? would be 150 in parts which isnt terrible for a gamble...
Finally got out to eleven mile for some camping with my new Roofnest Meadowlark XL. It held up to some crazy wind! I was actually really impressed. I was worried about the roof being able to hold the weight too, but it held up no problem (the included extra supports and ladder help quite a bit. Gives me a lot more confidence in the setup)
Just got my hardbody running again and I’m looking to break the radiator cause it’s having a little trouble with getting close overheating now I have a 170 thermostat coming in, but I’d like to also upgrade the radiator to something a little thicker
Hello I am seeking the infinite wisdom of the people. I recently did ball joints, shocks, and wheel bearings on my 1991 4x4. Everything is torqued to spec, including wheel bearing preload. Upon lowering it and taking it for a test drive, I have some visible negative camber. At first I thought it was my wheel bearings, so I re-seated them.
My current theories:
(This doesn’t make a ton of sense to me because the tighter the torsion bars, the lower the LCA points, making the camber more negative??)
I am waiting to get an alignment because I’m doing center link and tie rods next week. Please shower your wisdom upon me!
Does anyone know where to buy the brake and clutch pedal stop pads? I can’t seem to find them anywhere. It’s the little rubber pads that push in the sensors btw not the foot pads.
Pic of my truck for the love. Does anyone have info on how to remove the fuel injectors? I want to send out for cleaning but have no idea how to get them out without yanking the wires. Google and chatgpt have been surprisingly unhelpful.
She's failing smog with high HC/CO only during high load test which I'm told points too rich mixture. Anyone have any ideas? I think I'll replace the O2 sensor, dizzy cap/rotor, and spark plugs/wires just cuz it's been at least 10 years. I'm mostly just checking items off the list before handing it off to a shop that will likely just throw parts at it anyways. Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏
Hi All,
I took the shifter out to put fresh MT90 in the trans on my 89 hardbody. From the videos I’ve seen, the fluid goes in super quick from the top, but it’s taking a suuuper long time to drain down into the trans. Has anyone have experience with it just entering super slowly? I’m alightly worried that somehow this fluid isn’t getting to where it needs to go haha.
Thanks!
Washington does not sell r134a anything to the public. I have ordered two different conversion kits and low pressure doesn't fit. I need fitting for high pressure. Not sure. Any help is appreciated.
New electric fan wired in hopefully no issues with this set up. I used the check relay for ignition power, got a 30 amp in line fuse in. First time doing this.
intake plugs 3&4 came apart bosch on exhaust and autolite on intake 175 compression on both 1&2 but 0 on 3&4 so its cooked for sure
but it runs, doesnt want to drive
my uncle has a 1987 hardbody with a paint scheme i’ve never seen before. I’m thinking it was a dealer thing, not sure though. It’s also has 4x4 and a vg30i is this uncommon?
I made this tool by buying a locknut socket for GM and filing down the extra tabs. Worked like a charm and was able to properly torque and preload my wheel bearings quickly and accurately!
i 70 f*ckin sucks, got cut off for fun and had a blowout but for 600 bucks i would probably do it again
