Re: My possibly own 1989 DLX 4x4 [blown head gasket]
Well I made it home to socal, with only having to make one stop because of an engine light, turn out the temp sensor and tps sensor plugs came off. Couple of things that need to be addressed with this van, one is an over heating problem? Not sure if its just a sticky thermostat, but the needle will pinned almost past the temp symbol on the gauge about 70 percent, and during those times the fan would only kick in at about 50 to 60 percent on the gauge. Another is an engine swap. This thing suuuuuucccked going uphill laterally no power on any incline. Everytime I see a hill up ahead I literally speed up to keep up the momentum but I usually slow down to 50 mph after climbing 4% grade for half a mile. Even slower on 6% and up. But all in all it got me home. But its time for some upgrades.[IMG]http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/a...psenedmlma.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/a...pssu4gzxkr.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/a...psdmjrf9cf.jpg[/IMG] My dogs seemed to adapted to it quite well.

I might as well update. I am back in Colorado another school year and I have the driven the van from California. I might be selling it as well. I need something with a little more power to haul my other toys.
What do you guys think its worth? don't forget to check the back story on this thread
Oh I took it off-roading recently

Does it have any rust issues?
Re: My possibly own 1989 DLX 4x4 [blown head gasket]
Only the sides on the sliding doors and the driver side in the same area as the sliding door. I was going to repair it in California but cutting some panel off another van and replacing the whole door but never got to it. That's only the area I saw where rust was. and I stripped the entire back end of the van to clean the carpets and seats and no under the wood either
