Thanks for weighing-in on this, Tim.
I too have had cooling system problems with my '89 4x4 van (automatic). The original radiator has been 'rodded-out'/checked and tested at a local, reputable radiator shop, and was given a good bill...

I had a similar experience with my '89 4WD van. My van was blowing the "Gauge" 7.5 Amp fuse in the fuse block. It would crank and crank, but no spark. It never set any trouble code!
Once the...
I just bought some Purolator PureOne filters that were on-sale at K-Mart for $3-bux and change. Purolator now only offers the shorter of the two filters in its 99.9% efficient PureOne synthetic...
Thanks, Tim:
After re-reading the head gasket issues thread, I too am losing a cup or two of coolant out of my engine - yet not from out of my coolant reservior. I'm now on the hunt for coolant...
My '89 4WD/automatic seems to run on the hot side, above the half-scale on the temperature gauge. I have taken my radiator to the radiator shop to have it gone through, which was returned to me with...

I use the Purolator PureOne oil filter - part number PL14670 for my '89 4WD.

I recently installed a new California-spec, stainless-steel encased, Magnaflow CAT. As its newness was 'baking off', I had quite the *metallic* smell for a week or so. Now, my SS CAT is brown. ...
Got my radiator back from the shop today. It was in relatively good shape - no leaks and good flow. They repainted it too.
I asked about a re-core from the current 3-row high-efficiency core to...
Thanks, BB & Tim for weighing-in on this. Radiator coming out tonight for inspection, cleaning/rodding-out, pressure testing, paint. It looks OK from the outside, but am running at 1/2 temp gauge...
I discovered that my van (with rear A/C) has previously been converted to R-134A <sniff>. That said, my van's A/C turns on, and the compressor clutch engages OK. So, I set-out to re-charge the A/C...
Nice work! ...and you could store your fly fishing rods in the front bumper.
User1: I called aftermarketautostore.com ...the guy says that the p/n CU30 Spectra Premium radiator is NOT AVAILABLE. Looks like a re-core for me at some point - which would likely be the better...
I had a similar issue with my van not starting. It would crank OK, but would not start. Upon further checking, the 7 Amp 'guages' fuse was blown. This fuse is located at the fuse panel below-left...
Has anyone used this model CU30 Spectra Premium radiator for the 4WD? If so, how has the experience been to date?
I was researching a replacement radiator for my '89 4WD and found a new 3-row copper core radiator with brass tanks. This radiator is specified to fit my 1989 4WD van. The radiator is manufactured...
The Bosch oxygen sensor site at http://boschautoparts.com/Technical%20Resources/Oxygen%20Sensors/O2_TechInfo_Intervals.pdf has some good information regarding the checking and maintenance of oxygen...
Good advice from the previous posters. I wanted to weigh-in regarding the Oxygen sensor(s). New ones are relatively inexpensive and are well-worth changing-out after every 30K miles or so. They...
BurntBoot: Thanks...trying to find the branch that's "the yellow brick road" is the trick. I'm still working to discover the branch of the "Guages" 7.5A circuit that is shorting on me...
I'm also chasing an intermittent short that blows my "Guages" 7.5A fuse on occasion - resulting in the engine cranking and not starting, and the power windows not working. Studying the electrical...
