There are lots of available people out there, no need to date yourself.

That is friggin sweet, and the price cant be beat. Congrats on the new genner. Even if you retire Bucky you will always have great memories.

She just needs belt, and it is pretty straight forward and simple.

I had one of those and I beat it mercilessly on more than one occasion and never had the engine overheat. The transmission is a different story altogether.MWM2 killed my transmission.

Will eliminating the PCV sytem help fuel economy. I live in a state that does not have emissions testing so it would not be a problem.

I am flying to Chicago on the 19th so I am unfortunately unable to make yet another gathering.

A pipe wrench will get that thing off. Take the skid plate off put the pipe wrench on the plug. I have been doing oil changes for a living for quite a while and the pipe wrench always works. Heating the drain plug with a propane torch will also do wonders for you. Dont drill. the oil will be very bad for your drill. Dont chisel. You miss and you just might put a hole in your pan. Bob Dole knows it you know it and the American people know it. A pipe wrench is your friend.

no

a pipe wrench is very handy in this situation.

That was how the one I had sat. it looks completely stock to me.

Well you will always be able to find it in any parking lot. Kinda jumps out at you.

The joints in the T Brat are pretty darn new. They got replaced right after I got back from MWM2. I would think that they would still be good.

Sorta OT. I bought an 88 wagon from Chef_Tim a couple of years ago. When I went to get the car I had gotten off work at 1:00 am drove across SD to TIms, hung out with him and Vicky then headed back home. I was so tired that I kept misreading the door lock light as good luck. I thought it was nice that the car was wishing me well on the trip home.

Michelin XCX/APT is the greatest tire ever. I want to get a set of 15" pugs so I can get a set. They are a light truck SUV tire and they last forever. I have seen Jeep Cherokees with 80,000+ miles on those tires and still have 6/32 on them. They would last forever on my GL. They are expensive, but very,very worth it.

You need to be careful when you are relieving stress in that manner. Weed is a gateway drug you know. It seems to lead to carpentry.

I just installed 4 new Sony 6" speakers in my 87 wagon. The fronts went in pretty straight forward but the rears dont have the spacer like the and I can't get the fronts do and I cant get the door panels back on all the way. Is there a spacer that you can buy to fix this problem. I think a one inch would be enough.

I had the splines strip out on a hub of my old 84 wagon and it did exactly what yours is doing. It was a 4wd so I just put it in 4 hi and drove it home.

Did you take the spare tire out? you won't see them with the spare in there.

I Pulled the rad cap off and started the car when it was cold and added coolant as it was needed. I then used the car to deliver pizza (I couldn't think of a better torture test) the heater was blast furnace hot all night and the temp gauge never waivered. I am hoping that this simple fix worked, as the other fix is not nearly as simple.

Well the symptoms he described in that thread are almost identical to mine. I guess there might be hope after all. gonna burp that baby tomorrow and see what happens.

I will try burping it and see if that fixes anything. I don't have high hopes.

I have done this a couple of times. I actually did it today even though the problem was not rearing its ugly little head. It has only over heated on me twice. I shut it off and checked the coolant level in the over flow. I never opened the rad when it was showing hot on the gauge. but I would top off the coolant in the over flow and it would get sucked in.

by occasionally I meant twice. Both times the engine was immediately shut down. I will be getting the heads checked and since the engine will be out I will replace front and rear main seals. Any idea on the heads if they are like the ea82.

That is really what I figured. I am going to pull the engine and do the hg's myself. I am going to use the new fixit gasket from Subaru. Also planning on t belt, water pump, and thermostat. Anything missing? Do the ej25s have a cam box like the ea82? I am serioulsy unfamiliar with the entire ej series.thanks.

I have a 98 outback wagon that on occasion the temp gauge will rise to hot and lose heat from the heater. I have checked for bubbles and oil in the over flow. I have checked for coolant in the oil. None of these are present. I am all but convinced that I have a bad head gasket regardless. any suggestions. And yes I did a search.
