April 20, 201213 yr AC comp is removed and the 2 big section of hose connected to it. Needed to add a bit more power steering fluid. Hit the gravel road just outside of town. 4wd hi and low both work as well as all 5 speeds and reverse. Haven't done any fine tuning of the weber as its pretty decent right out if the box. The temp gauge isnt working. Put a relay in and wired the fan into it so its on all the time. But will be easy to add in a shutoff for it ...
April 20, 201213 yr So when are we gonna see pics of this thing? !! it doesn't look any different than it did before, unless you open the hood....
April 20, 201213 yr it doesn't look any different than it did before, unless you open the hood.... Thats the type of picture there is!
April 21, 201213 yr here. I set the video to public. it looks the same, but the AC comp and big lines are gone... http://www.facebook.com/v/434747213205345
April 21, 201213 yr Author Finally got home. Does the ea81 weigh less then the ea82 because i was breaking traction alot. McBrat is to kind, there are alot more new parts on this thing then i was made aware of.
April 21, 201213 yr Author So i guess to kind of sum up this thread. We dont really have any idea on what was wrong. It does run and drive but not with the original engine. Basically we just chocked it up to an electrial gremlin which 6 people could not track down. Id like to thank subymech85, mcbrat, bheinen, and a few others on here who tried to help me track down the problems. I owe most of you more then the vehicle is worth.
April 21, 201213 yr it came down to ease/cost of maint. for the future. you'll need to burn through that gas soon too, and mix some fresh in...
April 21, 201213 yr Finally got home. Does the ea81 weigh less then the ea82 because i was breaking traction alot. McBrat is to kind, there are alot more new parts on this thing then i was made aware of. that's just the raw unbridaled power of the ea81/weber combo
April 22, 201213 yr Author Breaking traction and lifting the front end up. I couldnt even keep it on the road, it kept wandering twards the dirt. I had to calm him down, not yet. Need to put it back together alittle more. I can definately hear that wheel bearing now. Lots of stuff to go through and throw away. Needs the exhaust looked at and gone through, probally need to pick up a new y pipe. Didnt you say mick a ea82 one will work.
April 22, 201213 yr It was squirrelly like that because of the weight of the engine and trans in the back.
April 29, 201213 yr Author LOL, maybe but i think i need to get it running right before i start trying to look like a boss.
July 10, 201213 yr Ben picked up an exhaust piece the other day, but hasn't had time to tackle the rear wheel bearing yet...
February 11, 201313 yr Author Its in running and driving form now. Exhaust has been buttoned up, working on getting it in the wheel bearings taken care of.
December 24, 201312 yr Author After almost a year of abuse it still runs and drives down the road just perfect. I dont know if ill ever get to the wheel bearings.
