LJ; Doesn't everyone have a spare $25G?

Gentlemen; 4th is the big reason why I double clutch. Going "'round the horn" from 3rd to 4th and double clutching does two things at once that eases stress on the tranny. First it allows the synchro to catch up to 4th from 3rd (I know from driving old White Bosses with the old fashioned...

MM; If you want I can deliver too. Again, just let me know.

MM; That's normal. The inner tank is the secondary to the system and primary to the compressor. So, when you run the truck the inner tank kind of acts like a water filter. As soon as I can afford it ($100) I'm installing an air dryer on the truck to prevent the air system from rusting.

Guys; After driving 1.5 million miles I've learned with an unsynchronized tranny it's fine to glide the gears. However, with a syncronized tranny glidding is the death of them! I ALWAYS double clutch my baby because it is MUCH easier on the syncro.. I learned the hard way on my '85 Escort...

P-G; Oh yeah the brake fluid can come in handy. Plus with that 185, if she has a sprag I'd be very tempted to drop the front driveshaft to save fifth gear from excessive wear. metal shavings in the tranny is not a good omen for anyone. Also have some emergency triangles and if possible a cell...

MM; Y'all need to come out here to strip-mining country. If you really want a challenge check us out anytime! These 125 foot drop offs will help you get the blood and adreneline flowing quickly! Just watch out for the dynamite blasting areas<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_dead.gif"...

MM; The sprag is a spring type engagement within the transfer case. The theory is when the rear axles start to spin 1/4 turn the sprag will put power to the front axle from the tension in the spring. However, this thoery does not always work in reality. There have been cases where the sprag...

RH; Sweet ride bud! You know how to make us 109 owners jealous<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink">! Enjoy the extra room! I'm sure you've looked at my portable store in the member's pics area. I have some more pics in the other (and comsiderably slower) computer I'm trying to...

MM; I have a wholesaler that sells them. My cost is $23,000 for a solid used one. He won't let junk or rebuilds out his door. Let me know if y'all are interested. It's cheaper than a civy one and more durable too.

MM; Check out my thread on the wiring a fuse in with the heater and horn. I have pics that should help you with the heater location and where to put the hose in and so on.

SS; I'd rather see your wife model the tee shirt!<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink">

SG; Way cool endings!

Good luck Caustic! Looks like a fun project!

MM; I can see me building something like that for my son when he gets to driving age. I want something that will be tough, unique, slower than a car, yet be able to drive on the highway, and be able to get out of most off-road situations. He would also have an appreciation for the limits of...

MM; I too have a sprag. The only practical option is to swap the transfer case to an air actuated one. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt, however, it causes the least problems in the long run.

MM; Another option depends upon your sheet metal forming skills. Just take a heater core from your local auto parts store and form a sheet metal box around it, don't forget to make a cover too, put a fan motor on one end and a vent hose on the other and PRESTO CHANGEO you have heat once you...

WE; In Indiana, the current owner has to provide a replacement title if the original is lost for some reason. They must fill out the title replacement form and it takes about six weeks before a new one is issued. Plus the DMV also makes a physical inspection of the vehicle and runs a VIN check...

Guys; Try some rubbing alcohol in the lines and crank the air to full. After that put some air tool lube in the line and again crank it up to full blast. You may need to manually return the pump to the other side at first. There is a little butterfly type of lever on the inside that can stick...

MM; I have the manuals in print. I can send the photocopies you need. I know LH can do the same. I suspect it would be quicker getting the info from him since he's very close to Chicago. I'm out in the boonies so mail takes it's time getting here. P.S.- Ken your CD showed up today. Thanks!
