Well guys I bit the bullet am now the proud owner of a 89 DL wagon/rust.Now for the important ?'s.The check engine light stayed on the whole trip home (130 miles) is this something that needs to be fixed or don't worry about it.Also the car seems to have a low howl to it running down the road could it be rear end is dry or on that order or tranny maybe.Next I tried the 4x4 a little better when i got home seems to shift in ok but bangs kinda hard coming out and going in reverse seems a little noisey.Anyhow it's at a friends house who's gonna do the work for me and just looking for some answers as he's never even seen under the hood of one of these beasts.P.S. could use a pr of front fenders for it.Thanks Steve and I only paid $300.00 for this gem.

How good is this spfi motor and what would be considered to much for this car. And thanks guys for all your help I'll be going Sat. to check this car out.

I was told it's a 1989 he also thought it was fuel injected motor,would that be correct.It's also gonna need some things like a back hatch window.

Can someone please tell me the difference between a DL wagon and a GL wagon going Saturday to look at a DL and would like to know if there's anything I should look for thanks Steve
