Just saying hi to everyone. My dad just gave me his truck because it is pretty old and he didn't want to deal with it. I'll be doing a lot of maintenance over break, so I was looking up information online. Myself, I'm a 1st year at UCD, and I love cars. I took auto in HS and learned a lot about cars. I learned the rest from the internet!

The truck is a 1990 or 1991 2wd truck, with the 22R-E motor and a 4-speed transmission. The tranny is busted, and won't shift into 1st or 3rd so I drive around with 2nd and 4th. The door locks are broken, and it needs a new set of tires.

I guess that's enough information for now as I'm just saying hi.

Thanks for reading,

Chris

Here is my list of stuff to do. I know how the search function works (I post on rx7club) but if anyone has anything to add, it is appreciated!

-Coolant Flush
-Diff fluid change
-Tranny fluid change
-Bleed brakes (done)
-Fuel filter (bought new one, found old one but it's a real PITA)
-Oil change (I did it last week but I checked the dipstick and oil is dirty again so I'll probably do another one)
-New tires + alignment (mucho $$$, looking at tirerack.com)
-Rebuild transmission (also $$$, or find a 5speed at junkyard)
-Door locks ($$$)
-Wash Wax Clean

Future plans
-Tach
-LC Engineering header
-Muffler (probably Borla)
-New suspension bits

 

Jesus, what did your dad do to mess up that truck?

Good to have another Aggie on the board!

 

Welcome to the forum.


I would recommend buying a Haynes manual to help you with the basic maintenance stuff.
