Bucky92

Thats what I have been doing with the XT6...I have a garage but its kinda full with the dirt bikes and such....My Loyale is crying for some attention too but thats easy. I actually enjoy doing body work...isnt that sick?? LOL

I am trying ..I sware... I am thinking on just driving down anyway...and if they toast they toast..

I got an idea..if I make it to carlisle I will bring my power tools and body stuff and have a body work on a budget clinic

This is how I spent the past 2 days after work...still needs alittle but these are teasers anyway since I dont want to reveal too much JUST in case Rocky actually makes it to Carlisle: Before ( pass side rear quarter) After.

no fighting now kiddies;) Still dont know if I will be there..I hate this suspense...the thing that hurts the worst is missing out on the chance to actually be home again ( thats all my home town you know)

I bet you think you do ..BURN!!

I cant commit to anything yet..but since I know my way around that area ..it will be no trouble running out to grab something...IF and I stress IF I do get down there I can run to the farmers Market in Lemoyne and pick up some :slobber: apple sausage and other goodies

Buckys ( my 92 Loyale) first one went at around 90K ( I had reciepts to prove that) ..not sure if it was changed again sometime in between but I change them a year and a half ago at 195K..and the cars at 203K now

If I can get there I was going to bring the David Hassleholf Lawn Jart set for ya Matt.... Hummmm..people are going to start wondering about us...Bens big threaded rod and The Holf;)

Matt give me an addy and I will send you some money for either another entry or towards the tent

Happy B day Ed..yaoldfart!

Bump...fpr show...and looks like its a definate..I am out...had car looked at..has bad wheel bearing..its tight just dry and is OK to run short runs ( story of my life) to work and back for now ..but no road trips or anything more then about 20 miles.. Priced new bearing:eek: and never did it before so its something I wont be trying myself so for now can't afford the repair.... I will leave my entries though. Sorry...Can't wait for the day I can actually have a car I can run more then 20 miles safely...I am tired of missing out on everything...and ..to me its no fun if I dont bring my own to show off all the work I have actually done.... Have Fun guys

Well I tested it acording to the test proceedure..and its testing good..Gary as you said about maxed..actually after I repositioned it ..it was almost maxed..so anyway..I positioned it so it opens where it is supposed to ..we will see if it helped..cleaned the external contacts before putting back on...wont know till I take it out on a run..since I am in the middle of doing some more body work..that is out of the question for now...Thanks for pointing me to that fix though!

I was wondering the same thing...and BTW if you need a radiator now that you are there..i have one..I couldnt mention it before cause there was no way I could ship it out to you in time

I am looking for an opinion ASAP..so this is kinda posted both here and XT6.net..but usually I get answers quicker here....We are in belief that my stalling issue on my 88 XT6 is caused by something faulting my TPS..I pulled it to check it and also have a fix but before i break it open...would the fact that it was missing one of the screws that hold it on be causing Rockys irratic deceleration stalling? TIA

Just giving a heads up....might have to pull out of Carlisle...Rockys having issues again...front wheel bearing went up in smoke on the way to work ( not completely ..I should be able to get him home but it is roaring) and his stalling issue has resurfaced ( I cleaned the IAC with no help yesterday)..and once again something is causing his charging issue to come back ( squealing belt ..tight..have to check if the welded pulley is seperating and if so have to figure out why)...Bucky is down too so ..since I am over my head and out of money ( can't afford to send either to a garage)..I am probably out.

I have used them in about 3 of my various wagon when I was a delivery driver. I never liked the rubber ones cause they like to "shoot" out when you hit a hard bump. I like the ones that are actually reverse clamps that you screw in...these stay in better and you can also raise and lower them. These ..and they are cheap: http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?MfrCode=MWI&MfrPartNumber=18910&CategoryCode=3197 Just remember you will need 2 sets ..only bad thing is they amke the back ride alittle rough

Just for this run you may also want to try and jump the one fan ( the primary) so it runs constantly. I am doing that now on my XT6 just by jumping the fan plug with a paper clip until I pick up a new thermosensor. You could also toss in a bottle of Watter Wetter ...it will help disapate the heat by as much as 20 degress..also running in my XT6 right now and is helping. Its alittle pricey specially for someone where money IS an object ( almost $8 a bottle)..But it is alittle added insurance...Plus if you take the time to pull and flush the radiator any little bit should help.

UMMM 70-75 is what I ment by more managable speed:lol: ...My ER27 can do 115-125 all day and have had him up to 135...If I dont set the cruise on he creaps up and next thing you know you are doing 100+ on the highway. . So when are you putting this weber in anyway!? I have a big 8 person dome tent that I will be bringing...good for storing stuff in or if it rains or just hanging out iin...Almost wish Bucky was road worthy ..he is a awesome camp vehicle..nothing beats a wagon..always have a roof.

Cool..I can help get things set up then...OH!! Do you want me to bring a framed Pic of "The Holf?":Flame:

We will get in touch closer and travel down together if you want...Plus I have the camp sight so let me know if you need a tent ( we have a spare 2 man ) I promise to keep Rockys cruise set at a more managable speed;)

I second what dearon said..specially checking the bearings..my 92 EA82 SPFI FWD 5 spd...can get into the high 30s-low40s highway..but as his rear wheel bearings started to go that dropped drastically. A friend of mines Legacy did the same thing when the wheel bearings went.Just a thought.....also my XT6 ER27 5 spd Full time 4WD gets 26 highway...so something is definatly off.

I plan on getting there sometime friday and camping...too long a drive for me to want to get up super early to meet at a diner so leaving Friday camping then meeting up.

I am sure I will bring something down..mayby something veggie ( broccoli,bacon,onion salad.mmmm)..Funds have become even tighter so who knows whats up...still have to find a kennel for my dog for the weekend ( I am super picky too)..Still dont know if Tommy is coming ..I may be solo-ing it ...all depends what is going on with Hockey play-offs..yes he is that addicted. All I can say is..have big tent and 2 coolers.

You checked your fuse box? Just stabbing at things now to try and get you going...Can you push it somewhere where it wont get towed?
