  1. What you ultimatly want is a RX tranny. Fulltime 4wd with D/R and diff lock. You get to cruise around in 4wd and have the ability to use low range in town. Makes it have much more pep at lower speeds and just drop it into to high when you hit 50mph or so.
  2. Only like them when it turns you green And what makes you think that the NE doesnt get cold wet weather like we do? I broke out my propane heater yesterday, so we could stay a little warm while working on Briggs XT. And almost caught myself on fire Was weariing a old work jacket that has a poly liner in it and had the heater to my back. I happened to look down at the ground and saw a piece of something on fire. Gee, what could that be? I pulled the bottom of the jacket out to look and yup, I was smokin. Glad we had that inch or two of snow
  3. We wont know until one gets replaced. If you have schematics, please scan them and post them up.
  4. If the track and field are swamped, I can just imagine what the offroad area looks like Remember this? That was in July. It must be a small lake right now :-p
  5. Guess we need to hit the store after you get here. That should be fun :-p
  6. Certainly do. Got some stew meat in the freezer too. What else do we need?
  7. Hey, I already got a date setup for Sat night :-p Sunday is still up in the air yet. Will PM all concerned when decided.
  8. Hey Pat, nice to see your still kickin! Give me a call sometime? Did any of those dashes that I gave you work? I could use one right now :-p And I think I found the culprit of the digi demise. I still need to do a on line search for the part (NEC) but it should be readily available.
  9. Either I need to get a beater, or I'm doing something wrong :-\ Maybe my next acquisition will remedy this
  10. It should take you 10-15min a side to pull the axles. Sometimes, getting the motormounts back in once the engine's in is a buggar.
  11. What about your timing? Have you advanced it at all? Or did I miss that
  12. I would say its the timing. Make sure you plug the green test connectors together before setting the timing. I sometimes forget and have to redo it. They should be under the steering column. And there could be a possibility of a clogged cat.
  13. I'm waiting for pics from the one thats 4 sale on CL here locally.
  14. Believe me, it crossed my mind. Plus thers a $ issue. Just a general admission ticket is $55, plus if theres swag to buy.... I'm not sure about the line up yet. It might be the clincher on whether I go as to who will be playing. Ok, heres the line up: The band will consist of Anderson, Squire, Howe and White, with Oliver Wakeman. Oliver is Ricks son. Which should be ineresting.
  15. A D/R tranny is not designed for RWD. It will eventually eat the teeth off the ring gear in the front diff. It has nothing to do with torque or HP. The gear set is not designed for it. Been there, done that.
  16. I dont recall from your previous posts if the car has had a tuneup yet? Start by changing the fuel filter, then the usual tuneup parts. Then check over all the hoses to make sure they are tight, ie hose clamps.
  17. Well, I just found out today that I can get pre-sale tickets for a old "Super Group" for a concert on Aug 15th :-\ The group is YES. I'm still a big fan and I've wanted to see them since the early 70's. This sucks If WCSS was close this year, it wouldnt be a issue. But making the drive down to Astoria after a concert would be rough. Unless I thought I was back in the 70's and I ..................nevermind
  18. Lol, our market is completely different than yours :-p If its in very good shape, you should make a good profit. If not, your going to have to haggle over price. Good luck with the sale.
  19. How long have you been working on that now? Go to the XT6 site and look up Mr.Radon. He built a ER27 using hi-po parts. He has all the links and products he used, very detailed. Definatly check the timing and if you did use something other than the suggested MAF cleaner, you could be looking at replacing the unit.
  20. Doing a search on NASIOC should reveal alot of results. The swap has been done quite a bit with lots of variations. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=1&f=87
  21. Dude, you were in a beladonic haze when you think you saw that. The car does not exist The only way to tell if the car is a RX is by the VIN #.
  22. Actually, thats one of the things that doesnt effect the digidashes. Its usually due to old, weak components that cant handle a voltage spike from a alternator thats probably got a few weak diodes in it.
