No Spark! Help please! *Pics*
that looks like a condenser , let me check my car... looks like it runs between the + side termenal and ground. maby to take out voltage spikes, should run without it, it may screw up your radio with noise ?? you should check all your ground wires, it can do weird things to your car if their bad

Crashed Dl buying :)
i could see if it was a 4x4 dual range , but an auto, i dunno, look for distortion on the strut tower, like paint cracking or metal wrinkles etc this one has no suspention damage and holds an alighnment fine i would buy it , because these cars are hard to find in the east coast of the usa, i have a 92 loyale 4x4 auto, i like it, it does rev 4k rpm or more at 70 mph, so i drive it around town as a beater

Battery Relocation :)
are you using auxillary lights or somthing, seems like a monster battery is overkill , there kinda expensive too, you should be able to buy all the components at walmart, except the 2 guage wire.. tractor supply has wire, 4 guage black and red . you could use welding wire to, its more flexable, and its better suited for abrasion and oil resistance. 2 guage is kinda big this is a link to a wire chart below it has a voltage drop calculator http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

Pulled the trigger...
cool take some pics of the front subframe repair. in the future i was going to explore the fesability of a complete cut out and rebuild of a floor and subframe, these cars are getting hard to find , in rust free condition, i have three wagons with this problem

84 sub starts then dies

92 Loyale ?
The whole engine locks up, or just the cam shaft. i know that the cams can be tricky to get to the exact alighnment mark. i would think a engine swap would be more work than just a rebuild. more info is needed

Help my 94 loyal lifter(s) are ticking!!
my 91 loyale does that alot, usally if i drive it short distances, less than a mile a day, a good hiway run cures the problem. when i first got it i used sea foam and marvels mystery oil, ran the heavy detergent additives for about 100 miles and than changed the oil and filter, it works much better now. also the -10 degrees F. dosen't help much

Best paint brand?
i used a cheap 20 dollar harbor freight spray gun, with the latex house paint
-
Best paint brand?
I have used a "flat acrilic latex exterior house paint", you can get it custom mixed at home depot to any color , Ive had it on my car now for 7 years. of course you have to wet sand with 600 grit paper and use lacquer thinner to remove any wax or oil , proper surface prep is essential.

lifting 87 gl10!!
A lot of it depends on your skill level, and if you have a welder plasma cutter , metal saw, it would be cheaper to bild your own kit, but easyer to go with a sjr lift, sjr does all the engineering for you , i had to calculate all the angles, it was kinda confusing and i had a lot of re dos too
-
Sube nearly dead, please help :(
if the battery will only crank for 20 seconds, i would get a new one, your voltage is probably dropping as soon as you crank it causing a weak spark, if the plugs are old you may not even see a spark, you could man up and check it on your hand if your elbow jumps a foot or more you have good spark... ...ar ar ar

-
I saw the light!!
all of my loyales dont have foam inside the bumper, they only have a light ( 16 guage) backing frame , covered with a plastic shell. i think the lights would vibrate a lot, unless you mounted them with a heavier steel backing plate
