  1. like northwet said a/t are ok, my wife driver a 88 full time 4wd turbo wagon , 22-23 mpg city , running ac , 4speed a/t
  2. it is a a/t turbo full time 4wd wagon, 106,000mi , shifts good, my question is should i service the tranny and change out the fluid ? or just not do it ? because i was told it could harm it than help it ,thanks
  3. yes your right , been a long day ,heat must be getting to me
  4. but there is still no spark , would a broken drivers side timing belt cause no spark , i changed the coil to oem , both miles and i put new timing belts on 25,000mi ago
  5. if i remember i had to change the clutch fan from what was on there and put on a clutch fan from a xt , one extra blade and fits alot better
  6. royale purple or amsoil , running these change every 12,000mi ,change filter every 6,000mi
  7. so for a 122 bucks you are getting a 2 row radiator ? what is shipping charge? so this should fit my 88 turbo a/t wagon ?
  8. just like title says, only after 9,000mi , DO NOT BUY
  9. yes it has been changed over from r-12 to r-134 , if it is freezing up then why after you let it set over night and turn on the ac it does not blow cold air?+ when i put a gauge on it ,it reads low
  10. when are you going to indiana ? maybe tom+ alleyboy can meet here and you can come down here
  11. when you replace the coolant line also replace the oil line
  12. on my wife's 88 turbo full time 4wd a/t wagon, she says a white fog comes out the vents and then shortly after the ac will not blow cold air, twice now i have added , is there a easy fix ? it is r-134
  13. there is a coolant line [passanger side along with oil line ] that goes from steel line to rubber hose ,underneith the turbo , this could need replacing ,mine did
  14. good luck at mine, they had my ball joints + wheel bearing seals in stock ,on a sunday :cool:, but it is 15 miles away
  15. here is my opinion , i run amsoil in my 88 5sp d/r wagon 189,000mi , 5-10 lbs more oil pressure , + have only added 1 qt at 5,000mi , i am going to change the filter at 6,000mi and change the oil at 12,000mi , i am thinking about using royale purple in my 88 TURBO a/t full time 4wd wagon , you can go longer between oil changes
  16. ok, it will be loud , i did it to a fwd wagon , temp gauge was cooler, mpg went up , noticed some hp gain , thanks
  17. a few weeks ago there was a board member , saying he could get a y-pipe made with 02 drilled in , just woundering how it turned out + cost + can you get anymore made ? what about the loud noise ? any major benfits ? hp,mpg, temp,
  18. mine also comes on , 88 turbo a/t full time 4wd wagon , but running 75mph + temp gauge 3/4 way up , hows your radiator ? or tranny fluid ? tranny flush, or radiator going bad
  19. now i did put very little into my riding mower , 2 gal tank ,and yes it did run better ,
  20. a few times i have gotton oil onto the exhaust after changing the oil, if it is 4wd i always remove the skid plate first , quick lube places may not , munch easier to get to drain plug + less messy
  21. this may not mean anything ,but what weight of oil are you using ? if your using a light weight oil it may leak more , i have found this out
  22. i have tried it ,no mpg gain ,but increase in hp on my 88 5sp , and did ask a chemist and he said the long term may damage the seals around the injectors ,but the same thing is put into fuel injector cleaner , 1 time a year is ok,
  23. pretty far for me to go after it , all the way across the state of indiana
  24. fram is made very cheap and are junk also stp
