Need some blanks filled
ivantruckman replied to grizzlypaugh's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
exterior rust is not too bad, check underneath look at the front and real frame rails . stay away from turbo cars. . IMHO. as for tires I'm running 24 inch , and i had to put in a 2 inch quick lift to fit them, 29 or bigger would require a 4 inch lift, and or allot of fender trimming and inner floor pan adjusting, so you wont rub fully turned and suspension fully compressed. others may disagree -
hmmm. i dont think Ive ever seen color matching spray cans, or clear Cote automotive paint. maby a one step spray enamel can and a lot of wet sanding, could be possible

Thank you to all forum members

it will drain about 70 percent of the coolant. you can use the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator, and catch it in a pan, and reuse it. that stuff is close to 10 bucks a gallon now -

Guido Gets Lifted
ivantruckman replied to The Dude Abides's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Run it till it busts, work out all the bugs in the lift and other stuff. see what tire combinations you like.etc . etc. than look for another one and transfer all the goddies to it. its the circle of life man. ashes to ashes , iron oxide to iron oxide -
sounds like a voltage regulator problem. i would check it for over voltage. that could be a problem

Crank pulley falls off
ivantruckman replied to SakoTGrimes's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i would take it off , clean the threds real good . use blue locktite. put a center punch in the flywheel to hold the engine from turning. ( you may need another persion to hold the punch). and use a breaker bar , and maby a short pipe on the breaker bar. tighten the @#%# out if it. then let the locktite cure for 12 hours before starting it. it should never happen again after that. -
Ball Joint Into A-Arm Help!
ivantruckman replied to UI Vandal's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i always put the thredded portion in first. and sinch it down . ... are the radius rod bolts removed ?. this can give you more room to move the lower control arm down. it shouldnt be that hard. unless you have 2 inch strut lift blocks in. -
is it stuck on the diferential stub. yikes , they can be stubborn, you could try a little heat. if you have a torch. good luck. you may need it

Cool did it get any gunk out ?

lights fliker at idle...
ivantruckman replied to Loyale93v's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
how low of rpms is it idling. glowing lights are an indicator of craptachi anternator problems, try to tighten the belts, but i think it may be the alternator, there pretty wimpy . rev it up and check the volt guage . make sure the volts are not spiking to . like 18 volts or more -
i just used the stock subaru bolts to fasten the blocks to the car, than used 3/8 16 grade 5 bolts to fasten the suspention to the blocks

IMHO, the 5 speed dual range is a must when running larger tires, its hard to climb hills with 29 inch tires in 4wd hi.
