The drivetrain is just binding. Confirm all your tires are the same size and brand, confirm all wheels rotate free in the air, and don't use it on pavement. It's meant for snow and mud and grass and dirt. Pavement will bind the drivetrain, put a TON of stress on your axles and trans, and eventually break these things.

Nothing fancy, just cut it out and weld something in it's place lol

Just cut my cat out, replaced it with a cherry bomb, then threw a Honda muffler on the end. TOO QUIET! Back to the drawing board.

My brainstorming leads to maybe having debris in your tank and doing a hard panic stop got something that was settled at the bottom of your tank sucked up into a gas line. Just a thought. Change filter is pretty cheap and simple.

Set it on fire.

By behind are you saying before, or after the cat, exhaust flow-wise. Also would just replacing the cat with a glass pack have the same effect you think?

My 93 Loyale.

Looks great! That a strange color, or is the lighting making the regular silver look odd?

Does it have timing belts/big black plastic cover on the front of the motor?

I found some ea81 alloy rims on a poor old 84 gl in the junkyard. Cleaned them up and mounted them on the Tin Can. Then the next day I waxed the Can, Armor All-ed the interior, WD-40-d the black trim, and tire shined the wheels. Here are the pictures.

Update: I finally got one. Getting a set of ea81 wheels too off an 84 sedan in the junkyard!

That's crazy. I'm assuming it won't crank anymore? Was it in gear when it was pulled? It could have seized during the tow if the engine was turning AND the timing belt was broke because then the oil pump wouldn't have been pumping... Just a thought.

Nice! I'll have to check this out. Have that exact engine in an 86 z31 300zx at the shop.

Can I have one too?! I'm in the same boat! Maybe split two and two?

you gotta carefully pull off the selection buttons. The AC and HEAT and BI-LEVEL and defrost buttons all pull straight out. Just be careful not to break them. The easiest way I think to do it is to pull off the 1-4 fan speed switch first, and then work your way up, Behind some of those selection buttons are screws that hold it all together / in. I don't remember which ones specifically, but they're there.

Well still haven't done anything to her lol. Found out it needs a new heater core. Car starts and drives even after sitting a month with no complaints. It's a solid back up vehicle.

A recording of the sound of the door closing would be cool:-P I love the way these things were built. *THUNK* lol. Nice find!

Here is the absolute best way to figure this out. Grab a battery from another car that you know is charged. Put it in your Subaru. If your Subaru starts, turn on the heater fan and the headlights and then go disconnect the battery while the engine is running. Bre careful not to touch the positive wire to anything. If the car dies, you have a bad alternator. If it keeps running, your issue is somewhere else.

I just turned 98k on my 93 Loyale.

You can put front axles in. Just drive in fwd. You can even use 4wd in snow, won't harm anything, matter of fact will make it easier to go slideways. I drove with 3.7 trans and 3.9 rear for long time.

Also, as mentioned above, front diff? A picture if you could would be cool. The front diff isn't really a thing on these cars. The front diff is incorporated into the transmission itself. So technically you now have 2 replacement front diffs.

Does it drive fine in fwd? The chances of an internal failure are pretty slim, that's why I think your problem lies either in misuse, or something else. How are the u-joints in your driveshaft? Are the rear axles bad? The only reason the car would come to a stop is due to a binding, this is proven be reversing remedying the situation. Reversing unwinds the binding you created while moving forward. My money is on the transmission being fine, but still check the fluid levels to make sure it stays that way.

Oh OK I just reread your post. If it has the 3.7 lsd rear, it's probably out of something else. Now, if you're saying it has a dual range trans in it, but with smaller 23 spline axles, I would suspect it's a 3.9 ratio trans. They didn't make any 3.7 dual range with 23 spline, only 25. This means it's either the dime a dozen 3.9 dual range, or somebody opened it up and swapped the 23 spline stubs into a 3.7. To know for sure without ripping it all apart, raise all 4 wheels of the ground, put it in lo, 1st gear, mark all 4 tires at the same spot with chalk or something, and let it roll. You can also just turn a wheel by hand if it's not running. The wheels should all turn at the same speed. If the rear rotates faster than the front, then you have a 3.7 rear mated to a 3.9 trans.

Many push button 4wd loyales were non lsd 3.7 23 spline. They are pretty common. The hard to find 3.7 is the one I have in the garage. Early rx 3.7 part time. You can run that 3.7 trans and just use the non turbo axles.

My sedan Loyale. Driver's side rear door lock linkage was all stuck. Good now!
