Well I flushed the rad and did the themo. Ran it up to Dacono from Fort Collins on I-25 and everything seems to be fine. It never even got to the half way point, more like just a quarter. Thank goodness... I hope the subie keeps kicking it for many miles to come! Thanks guys for the all the great input as usual!

Ok, thanks. Will do!

Thanks everyone. I will try the themo and then the rad. I'll let you now how it turns out.

So here's the deal. 85 GL auto EA82. Drives great and runs great. When kept under 4k rpms runs normal temps. You can drive 55-60 for 8 hours and no problems. But if you are I-25 cruising 70, it starts running hot (pass the middle by not in the red, but almost). This is even when blasting the heater. It has never when into the red but I have drove it for hours with it close to the red because I had to. It's doesn't leak a drop of anything? I had a complete tune up this year; plugs, wires, cap, timing belt, everything. The only thing that is not stock has been the weber I put on last year. Replacing the themo tomorrow, but what else could I check while I screwing with it tomorrow? This needs to get fixed because I don't what to crack a head or screw something major... I love my subie! Thanks in advance! PS- coolant and oil levels normal... ?

I would guess then it's ok to do with a GL also.

wow... either I don't know what it's called or no ones know about it, and I am screwed... crap

So I got a rear carrier bearing that needs replaced. A couple of questions... -How much can a expect to pay for one? -How much labor is involved in removing it? -Where can I get one in Northern Colorado? -Can I just take it off and just lose 4wd until I get the money for it. Can I drive -the car without it? I haven't looked at what it does yet... Thanks everyone!

That's a great idea! Because it would be a pain to get to them again... Thanks

Ok guys. That's all I needed. I want my subie to last, so I will getter done ASAP. Thanks for the input!

So I am leaking coolant out of my water pump. I think the bearings are going bad. It leaks about a 5 by 5 spot about every time I park it now, and it seems to be getting a little worse every week. It is not making any bad sounds, or anything, yet... I store my car (85 GL Wagon 4wd) during the months of May, June, July, and August because I drive my Jeep during the summer. So can this wait until next Sept? I drive it everyday from Foco to Loveland for work (about 20-25 minutes each way) at highway speed. So I got about a month until I park it... is this a big deal, or can I wait? Thank you for your thoughts!

Cool. I will give it a shot, and let you know how it shakes out. I am getting about 20-24 mpg right now, so I am hoping to get more. It's an auto trans, so that's part of my problem I think. Thanks

So my 85 wagon may run better with Ethanol Free gas? is that what I am hearing? It will not screw up anything?

Heck... I will say something. I bought my 85 GL wagon with 112,000 mile on it two months ago for 400 bucks! I am so glad I did. Great car! I getting 25 mpg in that little beast. It's alot better that 10 mpg in my jeep. So yes, I would jump all over that for 500 if she runs! Good luck!

Thanks Bratman. Yes they were unopened. Put 2 quarters oil, then STP, then top it off with oil. It purrs really nice now.

So I guess it's not a big deal... 8 views no replies. That's cool, I will do it then...
