FI eatin gas like crazy
ivantruckman replied to True2Blue's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
is your C E L on ?, it could be a number of things, like o2 sensor, dirty throttle body, maby even a plugged up cat? is it running slower than the regular slow? -
the rubber block can come loose from its mount too, you can use some good zip ties and some epoxy, works great. ill try to get some pics tomorrow when i get back to the shop

EA82 vs. EA82T Tensioner Pulley
ivantruckman replied to mikeshorts's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i beleive there the same. i have been able in the past to get an off the shelf bearing and press it in, i would save the old one and rebuild it, for a spare -
because of the rust i had little choice, i also needed to trim the lower rear door, im using a flat camo sceme for paint too, its alot more forgiving than a normal paint job

some pics of my cut job... http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=fendercut.jpg i made a cut along the upper fender arch line, leaving enough material to weld to, about 1/4 inch ..do not cut thru the inner fender , you will need this later to curl upwards , and to weld together, you can use a pnumatic muffler tool. harbor freight has them for under 20 bucks http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=fendercut2.jpg you can use the material from the inner fender , hammering it upward http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=fenderhamer.jpg then tack weld it, grind it down ,than putty it in http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=PICT0033.jpg i did the front too but theirs no inner fender to weld too. i just used a peice of 1/2 inch round stock and hammered it around, and streched it a little http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=frontfender.jpg

What's the toughest, stickiest primer spray?
ivantruckman replied to Gyoas759's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
most of the problem is surface prep. what grit paper did you use and did you use a surface prep solvent just before you primed ??? oils from sanding and your hands can affect adhesion. if you have bare metal you can try an acid etch primer, and wet sanding between coats with 600 grit wet paper, even if you grind all visiable traces of rust it almost always comes back. -
i tried the search...

Left headlight burns out, explodes in lens
ivantruckman replied to MR_Loyale's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the sealant between the lens ant the housing can fail. i clean it with a wire brush and then use silicone around it, also check for stone chips, you can silicone them as well. you can use a hair dryer to remove the moisture before you seal it up -
4wd, auto,yikes i would trailer it

92 loyale starting issues?
ivantruckman replied to 92justy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
check all the engine ground wires for corrosion, my 91 loyale did the same thing -
is your fluid dark, i think you would find out alot if you drop the pan. look for shavings either steel or bronze or copper flake. the dark fluid is from worn friction material, any shavinngs are from hard parts, either one isnt good

Bacon Fat on underside of oil filler cap??
ivantruckman replied to soobtank's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
my guess would be oil and water, the condensation inside of the engine heats to steam and rises to the top of the engine and cools slightly on the cooler under surface of the oil filler cap -
i wanted to do my own lift kit, im a stubborn cuss.. i found out why others get the money they are asking. these kits like scotts are actually very reasonably priced when you consider the time involved in fabracating, but i have to prove that i can do it, but im considering buying the next one. day one http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=strutower.jpg http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=6inchblocks.jpg http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=liftkit1.jpg
