Reverse lights are on whenever the running lights are on. I’m assuming this is a reverse light switch issue, but can’t locate it. It’s on the transmission, I’m also assuming. I couldn’t find it in...
Anyone know if the alignment specs are the same for the 2WD? Thanks
Good job. Any pics of the underside?
Has anyone ever cut an access panel in the body to replace the fuel pump without dropping the tank? My next question is do you have any measurements for the location of this access hole? Thanks
I found the leak. Way up in the front near the bumper where the booster vacuum line exits the interior through the body it joins another long vacuum line that also comes from the engine area. They...
I checked the valve at the booster, and it seems to be holding fine when I manually checked it. Is there another valve in the system? I’ll check the ports and lines. Thanks
I did a compression check cold and I got between 160
-170lbs on all cylinders. I’ll check the timing just to see,
but It runs fine, which I’ve been told is nearly impossible with the low vacuum...
I couldn’t find any more vac leaks with the smoker, so I went and rented a vac pump from autozone. I hooked it up to the booster and drove the van with an extension cord hanging out the window and...
I don’t think so. I was pretty deliberate and clean when I did the work. I used a pneumatic brake bleeder and sprayed everything down afterward. They were working fine for about 5000 miles.
I...
I replaced the front calipers and master with new parts. I drove it for 6 months after the work. I needed to bleed it a couple of times to get them to work well. I checked the back brake...
The problem started after I replaced the master and wheel
cylinders, but I don’t think they are related.
Snorkel was only blocked off when I was putting smoke into the manifold.
I’ve had hard brakes that don’t do much, and I’m trying to figure it out. I replaced the master and front calipers about 6 months ago and they were working fine after bleeding a few times. Now, the...
This might seem like a dumb question, but how do you remove the check valve from the brake booster? Do you just pop it out?
It’s right behind the air filter to the left. It’s only in the manual transmission vans.
Thanks for the link.
I started digging in and it seems that the starter relay is bad. The switch still clicks when you apply voltage, but it failed the continuity test. It shows 64ohm...
I’m getting a code 10 on my ‘87 van. It was running and some dash lights came on. It starts and runs fine. Any ideas where to start troubleshooting this? Thanks
Yes, thanks. That was a typo. Should be 28050
I found a set of 4wd upper control arms on eBay from FEBEST for $65 shipped from Florida. You can find them with the OEM part numbers, 48066-29050 & 48067-28050. They also have them listed under...
Great, thanks. I still don't understand how sliding a smooth probe into a threaded fitting wouldn't leak. As soon as I posted that, I found one.
...
Tim, does the thermistor in the photo you posted have threads where it inserts into the fitting? I can't really tell from the pic, but I can only find the type that isn't threaded and is designed...
I know you can take the front corner body pieces off, but I was wondering if you can also remove the front body section that goes across under the windshield. Thanks
I was going to attempt installing a tow hitch in my van with leaf springs. Is there anything on the market, maybe for a different car, that with less hacking could come close? It might be a little...
Is the front bar welded in?
I had a bad FPD, and I have replaced it. Before I replaced it, I ran the van and pulled the EFI fuse, to lessen the amount of fuel in the fuel rail. When I tried to start it after the fix, I have...
If I wanted to wire a fan to run-on after turning the engine off, how would I connect it to a relay? Should I run power from the battery to both terminal 30 (which is usually constant power from the...
I had to pull my radiator out, to get an impact gun in there to remove the power steering pulley nut, and decided to take it to a custom radiator shop and ask about having it re-cored. I works ok,...
Switch was bad. Put in a used one and it works now.
The button on the tip melted on my 87' van. There is cruise control on that arm, but it was smoking from the switch to engage the rear washer fluid. I turned the key off and pulled that fuse and...
Anyone ever find a brush guard that would fit these vans? I was thinking that maybe one for a Mitsubishi Delica or a Toyota truck could be modified without too much redesign.
It all gets torqued on the bolt in the center of the hub?
I have the 4" thick shop manual, but seem to have misplaced it and can't find one in PDF form. Anyway, my front wheels have a little play in them. It drives like the steering dampener is worn out...
The RT, or what is propane and butane, seems to work pretty well in either system and with both oils. It's cheap and when I put it in, it pumps out pretty cold. My system was empty when i charged...
Thanks for the info. I'll give them a try.
I thought there would there still be an advantage to running the larger Durango KYB shocks, even if it wasn't lifted.
It looks like the Gabriel ProGuard 61545 is discontinued. If I wanted to order a pair of the KYB shocks from a Durango (for the front of my '87 4WD) which part number am I looking for? Or which...
Good post, but I'm still confused after reading it 3 times. Which sensor effects the temp gauge?
Looks good Tim, Thanks. I'll get one of those too. I figured I'd change the expansion valve too. Are there two for the dual AC system? It looks like RockAuto has a few options for my model van, and...
compressor for an '87 4wd with dual AC. maybe i can find a number on the old one when i pull it out tomorrow.
One more thing, is this the correct part number for 4wd dual AC? # 88320-0101-84
Thanks Tim!!
Also, i checked the voltage from the power wire going to the compressor with the car running and the AC turned on, and it was aprox. 13.4 volts. Is that normal?
I was trying to get my AC compressor clutch to engage, by putting 12v to the wire that comes into it, and grounding to the ground wire, and nothing happens. Does this mean that the magnetic clutch...
Ran across this write up on Toyota fan clutches. I'm not sure if it's already on the site someplace or if it's even applicable to the 80s van fan clutches, but it seemed worth a read.
...
Thanks for the tips. I'll most likely pull all the plastic trim off and just get a roll of that stick-on trim to cover the holes. Hopefully the holes are all in a single row. Eventually, when i...
I have an '87 and the section of plastic trim on my sliding door got mangled pretty bad, so i was wondering if anyone ever pulled all the plastic trim off and what it looked like? The earlier years...
I found a heater core and I'm about to install it in my front bumper. I'm just wondering if it's ok to just " T " into the hose on both sides as far as the flow of coolant is concerned? No need for...
I put a new window motor in on the drivers side, and it works, but when the window gets to the top, it makes a loud clunk and same when it starts to move down. I can't really see anything in there,...
You have any more 4WD stickers? I'm in LA 90039 Thanks
