I installed an XT6 5MT (3.9 ratio) ring and pinion into a full time 5MT (3.7 ratio) dual range and it works. I think that your ring and pinion swap should fit. It's a fair amount of work though.- 7 replies

Show us your radio console EA81 units
Crazyeights replied to jono's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Here is the slanted style console in my 1983 EA81 Wagon. -
By a nice Snap On ratchet and you will have it for a long time. They are expensive but worth it IMO. I think that they make a style just like that Champion one too.

Looking good! -
I would suggest flow testing the radiator to make sure that it isn't plugged up. Simply hook up a garden hose to one outlet and watch the other one flow, or not.

Silicone axle boot on brand new axle
Crazyeights replied to Nickoli's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
My question would be why are you having so many CV boot failures. I have 4 modified EA series cars one of which has a 4" SJR Lift with 15" wheels. The last time I changed a CV boot or axle on any of them was years ago. Are your motor mounts and pitch-stopper good? Is your car lifted? -
XT AWD 5 man in EA81 - done it?
Crazyeights replied to jono's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I am trying to understand what you are asking so I can help. So, the trans no longer shifts since you opened it up to swap the stubs? -
Loyale door lock switch fix hack.

Thank you for this. Some of the older power window switches are fixable like that too. -
Rear disc questions
Crazyeights replied to XHighOctanex's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You'll need 2 complete rear calipers with brackets and bolts, pads, rotors (with rear hubs), backing plates, and I would grab the rear brake hoses as well. You don't need to touch the bearings. -

Need a SPF I wiring harness diagram please anybody

The SPFI conversion file is here in my Dropbox; https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4kdbpaclc6sko4/EA81_SPI_guide.pdf?dl=0 Until it isn't -
I my opinion it's a good idea to give the rest of the exhaust system a quick look while your at it. If the pipe/muffler hangers are missing or in bad shape this helps to rip the studs out of the heads, even if you just repaired them.
