just out of curousity, why did you replace with OEM style lights vs HID?

 

Not everyone wants HID lights...

But today I started it up for the first time in like a month... And used the quad to push it closer to the garage... Shes next in line

 

^^^ So you are going to fix it now?


Hauled another load of scrap yesterday, and my buddies dirt bike.

 

i changed the air filter on my 81 but instead of getting a 14"x3" i got a 14"x4". i think it looks a lot better but i need to find the threaded rod that i have for the 4" tall air filter. i had to turn the lid upside down to us the bolt i had.

 

Unfortunately yes lol.. got all my debts just about taken care of and now im working on getting a fancy new loan... so it will be a little bit before work starts

 

Is it still tranny/tcase issues? I can't remember...

 

Checked the oil, coolant, and ps fluid levels a few days ago to find all of them low. Steering box has a bad seal that I already knew about so that's the cause for low fluid.

I tracked the coolant leak to around the tstat housing/intake/water pump area. So today, after pulling the alternator (so I could see better) I found a leaking tstat housing gasket, and either a leaking intake manifold gasket or leaking timing chain cover gasket.

Now to find where my oil is going. Plenum was fixed with a Hughes kit, new bolts, gaskets, etc this past winter so it can't be that. I pulled the TB anyways and viola a nice big pool of oil to swim in...
Tackling operation plenum (#2) tomorrow. Then figuring out whether or not I'm gonna have to replace the timing cover gasket plus the chain & gears.

Good thing I'm not strapped for time or anything... oh wait I have 15 days until I have to drive the truck 850 miles to Ohio for college.

 

^^^ WOW dude... That's crazy Good luck

 

Swing by the dealership and pick up a new PCV valve. Heck, get two. They're cheap.

 

Good luck Matt.
