I had a front bearing on my f350 4x4 give intermittent problems. It had a noise and vibration that seemed bearing related now and then but was never significantly loose so I assumed it was coming...
Don't rule out the tires just because they are new. In fact i would consider them more suspect if it didn't do this at all before the tires were replaced. If you take it back to the tire shop and...
The bracketry is different than the P/S tensioner but the operation is the same. Loosen the center nut then turn the bolt to tighten or loosen.
This one has a couple good pics with the right side engine cover removed. Take note that the fan, power steering pulley, and alternator are removed in these pics.
Will it hold any gears and is it still running excellent? When was the last time it saw the highway?
Flecker, somehow I doubt the Simple Green part of your comment is the part she's having trouble with. Maybe it's time to walk away from this one before you get banned again......
Suzu, if it's leaking while sitting still it could be the oil level sensor seal. This item is mounted to the driver side of the oil pan and is below the oil level(This is the part that turns on oil...
What size are the tires on those? I wondered if they were using tire size to reduce effective gear ratio the first time i saw one those. Once you have the gear ratio figured out you could find an...
You need to look here.
I had the speedometer cable and instrument cluster act as the battery ground on an '85 Mercedes diesel once. It wasn't pretty.
M8 and this.
I got this same description of symptoms from a guy I recently bought a classic 1978 26' Winnebago from. "It worked fine most of the trip from Denver to Seattle but slipped when going up or down...
Check the wiring inside the bellows at the top of the rear hatch. This is a common place for chafing. Make sure to check several inches of wire on both sides of it too.
Yes! Have you read the thread you are posting to?
Part of the issue is the somewhat remote mounting of the throttle body. Despite the engine compartment heat it is mounted up and away from direct heat. This also why air cooled VWs had heat riser...
The wire for the sliding door switch drops down out of the the body at the front of the rear wheel well and then runs along the body behind the sliding door step under the van. Mine was broken at the...
But what is the actual voltage as measured at the battery? Also, it's important to clarify your terminology, i.e. "makes noise like it wants to start". When you turn the key does it only make a...
Have you checked basics like battery voltage?
Was the fuel tank refilled after the trip but before the smoke started possibly introducing water or other contamination with the "fresh" fuel?
Maybe someone can pull from this for you. Unless you are looking for brand new in which case, custom made is always an option.
Son of a ..... Carbonized beat me to it. Lol If you still need more let me know and I'll post the photos I took.
Give me a couple minutes and I'll post some pics and answer all your questions.
Are you using a stock scissor type jack or a floor jack?
I would agree. If pulling the fan to investigate, best to at least have a new one available. Of course, the resistor is far easier to replace and cheaper too. I bought two from Amazon a while back...
That's how I always do a flush and fill. Flush and drain. Calculate half the system capacity and add that volume as antifreeze concentrate. After that top with straight water. Then I fill the...
It is not necessary.
There is a small push button switch under the brake lever with a single wire going to it. If you take the center console off you'll see it. I had one that was stuck from something that got spilled...
Cut the wire going to the idle up temp switch as labeled in the pic in post #17 of this thread. It's the one with a single wire. Attach a ring terminal to it and ground it under a bolt somewhere...
Check your pcv valve and crankcase vent hoses to see if they are plugged. The manual says 36-71 psi at operating temperature. I'd say your oil pressure is fantastic. Do you know what viscosity oil...
The wire to the parking brake switch could be pinched and grounding as well.
I've done this twice at PNP on vans with sunroofs and used the provided engine hoists through the sunroof. Once lifted out of the van I used a hood or trunklid that always seem to be laying around...
I just posted a reply to that thread to correct the misinformation.
The small diameter tubing should be the high pressure line and the large tubing is the low pressure. Think of it like this, all the volume of the large diameter tubing gets squeezed into the small...
Pitting would not cause that. If you are not drawing coolant back in you either have a faulty cap or a leak in the system somewhere.
FYI, The unidentified plastics go around the base of center row captains chairs to create a latchable storage compartment.
I don't know an exact name for that part but it is definitely cause for concern. It is a structural crossmember crucial to the strength and integrity of the rear suspension. Also, in the upper left...

Allow me to be blunt, you need a new mechanic. The ignition coil has no bearing whatsoever on how fast the starter is able to crank an engine. You have what sounds like a classic hot soak starter...
Wow. I Must have been really out of it that day. I could have sworn the part number on the eBay listing was the same one referenced in this thread. Sorry if this caused any confusion. That's awesome...
Auto hubs should be replaced as routine maintenance in my opinion. Warn hubs are okay if that's all you can get. In all likelihood they are probably just fine on our low powered non rockcrawling vans...
Per Tim's link in post #2 of this thread as well as the thread title, that is the correct part number. That's a pretty darn good price too.
The wire that broke on mine is the main ground to the switches.
On mine the wire broke in the harness in the door jamb.
And check the intake tube for cracks!
The important thing to consider here is that you are putting a lot of faith in a 30 year old gauge and possibly a 30 year old temperature sending unit. If you really want an accurate temperature...
I don't know how thorough your Cali smog inspections are but when I still had to smog mine in Wa state I had idle issues. I eventually determined mine to be a bad tps. Prior to that when I would get...
I received the following Google message when I tried to open a page. This seems to be different than the previous "dangerous website" thread so I thought a new post was warranted.
Admin, please...
