daily driving my 83.
Doing a motor swap in my Supra so I need the truck again, but she needs some work, unfortunatly I need the truck now because the motor in my car died alot sooner than I thought it would.
Power steering pump.. when its cold it whines and the reservoir foams up sometimes even pisses out of the cap, once the fluid gets warmed up it shuts up. What could this be? ive tried bleeding it(jackstands, lock to lock a billion times) but never any better, its an IFS steering box, Stock pump.
Brakes, pedal has pressure sometimes, other times it will go almost right to the floor, its biased 100% to the front when it looses pressure, I took out the LSPV. One of the rear wheel cylinders has a leak, fluid is down to the "min" mark. Sound like just the wheel cyl or could it be the booster or master? Brand new pads in the rear, plumbing a Willwood proportioning valve into the rear circuit.
Death wobble/Vibration, Krawlers are balanced and rims are true and yes the lugs are tight, steering is all tight and aligned(high steer), no stabilizer(might be my problem), poly spring bushings all around, all torqued to specbut, there is some room for them to move side to side in the front hanger, shocks are good. Its more of a steering wheel shimmy at highway speeds than death wobble. Drive shafts are indexed, front hubs are unlocked. What am I missing? would a stabilizer help alot?
Temp gauge, this ones tricky, I have a wire on my harness that leads to no where, its a spade style connector. The temp sender is connected but this other wire is in the same harness, my Haynes manual says "too block near fuel pump" but theres nothing there. Its possible that I have a 22R harness, im not sure what year its from, truck is an 83 with a 20R motor. Anyone have a picture of their 20R wiring on the battery side? Diagrams arent helping. My temp gauge doesnt read, all my other gauges work properly, id really like to have a working temp.
Oil, right now it has 20w50 in it
What are you guys running in your 20R/22R. It runs great, no smoke or consuming issues, no leaks, im thinking 10w40 would be good to step down to.
