4 wheel steering
NuclearBacon replied to Dr Subenstien's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Back in the day *or currently in the day* the way that the monster trucks like bigfoot and gravedigger and such use a switch mounted on the window, flip it forward the tires throw about 10 degrees out to the right, same for the opposite switch to the left... it would help under like...slow rock-crawling conditions... but then you're throwing servo's and actuators and crap into the mix.... an idea! lol but not for me -
1989 EA82T with electro-pneumatic suspension
NuclearBacon replied to stickedy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
As for the tick of death, i replaced the O ring in the bottom rear part of the head, where it goes to the block, and the oil pump gaskets *mickey mouse, large o, and small o* my tick is gone! from what i read about it, it seemed to do the trick! Luigi -

Differences in Knock Sensors... EA82T
NuclearBacon replied to NuclearBacon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yeah i definitly have the single wire, and its interesting,.....the one i have now does not have a hole in the bottom, but my old one did... maybe this is my problem... -
Differences in Knock Sensors... EA82T
NuclearBacon replied to NuclearBacon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yes its to prevent damage. the knock sensor *from what i understand* hears a "knock" and retards the timing on the engine.... thats as far as i know.... -
I recieved a trouble code from the computer saying my knock sensor ...sucked. I had gotten one from the junkyard, and noticed when i replaced it, one had a hole in the bottom *where it sits against the block* and my replacement one did not. The computer didn't like either one. .... has anyone heard of this being a problem? what does the hole do? is there a reason i need one with the hole, or without? do knock sensors go out often? could it be the circuit? its my only trouble code, and after a 3 1/2 month rebuild, this is my only snafu... i'd like to get that stupid light off the dash!... without the use to electrical tape thanks!!! Luigi

I'm gettin' Pugs, what should I pay?
NuclearBacon replied to SakoTGrimes's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yeah 100 is pretty standard, then shipping usually will usually kick you in the gonads, sometimes as much as 70 bucks dont get kicked in the gonads. its bad -
Quick, name that part!
NuclearBacon replied to SakoTGrimes's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You know, this really isnt fair. To have a prize as GRAND as a Skittle, then TEASE with no pic?!?!! Thats just not right... *shakes head* -

Anybody Tow WITHOUT a trailer??
NuclearBacon replied to NuclearBacon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
...very interesting... ... i already own a tow dolly.... i'll look into removing the rear driveshaft.... -
Ok, so everyone knows about my 87 GL-10 sedan with full time 4WD, 5sp with its super sweet LSD in the back... my problem is i do not own a full car trailer... ...one that takes all 4 wheels off the ground *i think thats what its called* so my question is this! i read in the tech manual about a lever that disengages the rear axle... or the center diff... or something. i just wanna know if i can tow the car with all 4 wheels on the ground... somehow! i dont have 1000 bucks for a trailer, and i'm sure theres someone here who knows a way thanks ahead of time!!!
