Buying and rebuilding as many unique cars from my childhood and beyond as I can. Sometimes I buy to sell and sometimes I keep. No matter what I try to repair at home with common tools. Hope you enjoy
Atlas makes some great quality tools! You should try the 80V push mower or even the self propelled one. It does an amazing job with my yard, but I will say if the lawn your cutting with the Atlas mower gets tall and thick the best batteries to get are the bigger AH Atlas batteries.
My f07 was parked for 1 year, when I came back both rear airbag was down, after all this time should stay up? Or maybe cracks with the time ? Car didn’t run get
I just got an 85 sei with 156k and it drives great. $500. This is a good reference before I crawl under there. Thanks. I saw an 87 lxi in the yard and the whole thing was gone in 3 days. Not much love for the 2geez.
If you already graded on accessory quality, why would you give both pumps the same score on holding pressure even though the Mityvac actually wasn't holding pressure (but it had nicer accessory!!!). If the pump wasn't holding pressure but is leaking slowly, it should get a 2 at best. That slow leak is enough to make me not even consider that pump now.
Recently picked one up, and it works great. I saw some complaining about the price, but they sent me a coupon, and I got mine for $59.99. So far so good.
For testing sure you are trying different tire sizes but it’s 4 wheel drive, you need to replace them all at once or you’re going to be over working the diff’s and transfercase. And washers are definitely not a safe method for spacing your wheel. The bearing surface of the rim to the hub matters, you’ve reduced quite a lot. Your going to put way more stress through the wheel lugs now
There is a much easier way to remove them. Take the side air vent out (usually some clips + screws), stick your hand in the whole and push the cluster out with your hand. No risk of breaking anything.
FYI. 1. There are at least two submodels of this Model 1814E-B dual action orbital washer. They are not the same. Do a RU-vid search for "Teardown: which Bauer DA polisher from Harbor Freight is better?" to see the difference. 2. Many owners note that the bearing grease used to assemble this model is of poor quality. It is suggested that the first thing new owners do with their new Harbor Freight polisher is to change out the grease. Do a RU-vid search for "Harbor Freight polisher upgrade" for how-to instructions. 3. Many owners choose to replace the 6" backing plate with a 5" backing plate in order to reduce vibration, improve torque, cooler operation, and for better handling in small or curved surface areas. When purchasing a new backing plate, make sure that you order one with the correct thread size (5/16 in- 24 UNF).
I just got a rear valance and will be installing it on my ‘84 NA. Does the valance bolt directly to the body, or is there supposed to be a rubber seals of some kind?
Nope not yet and this is why I don’t use mine anymore. I ended up going full battery with the atlas stuff but still really like this one. Just need a bag
Yes Dansk is very nice but I recently re did this entire exhaust. Welded it all up with bigger pipes and headers. Ohhh man it sounds insane. This one had tons of leaks and I should have waited to do video.
This saved my bacon. I have a '95 I'm restoring and right now I'm working through cabin lighting. I was just about to start on replacing all bulbs with LEDs. I would have definitely fried my circuit board for the overhead lighting. Just subscribed on the strength of this video! Glad to see someone else investing the time and effort to keep one of these engineering triumphs on the road! Thank you.
I have a 2003 Ultra, and am in love with it. 180K on the odometer. I enjoyed your video . I thought you should have talked some about the fantastic engine. I've never gotten less than 20mpg over the 5k miles I've owned the car . The ONLY problem mechanical issue is that the backup sensors don't work. I could care less! Back to the engine; Amazing to get 290 HP and super gas economy out of 263 cubic inches.
The clog was right at the bottom of the tube so removal isn't necessary if you can remove the throttle body put your hand down in the and use something to remove the guck from the end of that egr tube.
Pete, if you remove the throttle body and looked in the hole you will see a tube hanging down. I believe that runs to egr and I seen it removed and it was nearly clogged shut. If this helps I could really use your help with my s500!
First off everyone like everyone already mentioned you need to take spacer out second off when you top off dot fluid you need to put cap on to build pressure makes easier.
Nice video. I just bought my 4th TBI 350 powered vehicle which included a '91 Suburban, a '94 G20, an '89 G20 and now a '95 G20 and I have yet to need to shim a starter. They usually bolt right on and fire up.
Thanks for that fill in. Great to know I didn’t need them. I hate thinking I’m good and than hearing I may have done it wrong. It felt right without the shims and it starts beautifully now. New starter is may more powerful
