Any chance you grabbed the radiator fan shroud?

Remington, Just pulled one in about six hours- tim did a full swap in just a bit more than that from what I read on thread a while back. I feel it could be quicker if you cut the injector harness...

Tim, In your heater core addition to your bumper for enhanced cooling, towards the end of your write up you state the valve is not necessary? That's the control valve on the heater core you speak of?...
I used a floor scrapper which is an 8 inch razor blade with a sturdy handle (home improvement store). Change the blade every window and a half and it took about an hour. I used acetone to remove the...
I got lucky and had the ash tray out while inserting new 15a fuse after cleaning the connections of the fusable link. When I hit the head lights I caught an arc out of the corner of my eye behind the...
I recently was in a fender bender and was hit very hard around the battery box of the van. I now have no tail lights nor dash lights. 15 amp tail fuse keeps blowing. I switched around the...
I just had two windshields replaced professionally and am glad I did; Couple things if you were to tackle it; foam shimming off of the pinchweld required about 3/4 an inch on the aftermarket...
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Maxmax, I ordered the intake and exhauast manifold gasket set from rock auto under the search section "engine". When splitting the halves, I believe this is the one you'll need. They also sell...
Its the # 4 injector and understand the project ahead, sorry for a redundant post.
I have quite a bit of gas leaking out of the #4 injector directly onto the exhaust, I was wondering if I were able to replace what looks to be an o-ring from underneath with out splitting the upper...
I changed to a half crude half synthetic mix of 10-40 from a 20w-50. I burned more oil and created leaks, the engine is at 300k. switched back to 20w-50 and not near as much oil consumption. I feel...
Highwind, I had that happen to a van sitting for about that time here in Fla also. I knew the battery was good, I remembered toying with the transmission shifting and actually got it to turn over. I...
I believe the transmission has gone out, It had a few jolts and then several minutes later problems shifting and eventually immobile. The catcher is that when its left running after immobile it stays...
I'd like to take that tranny/transfer case off your hands for a spare. How much to ship to Central Florida? Not sure if I need to look that info up or not. Thanks-
I pulled the plug wires and on the 3rd and 4th wires there was a bit of oil on them. The plugs where dry and firing, could this be a symptom of the lifter sticking and oil forcing out somehow? I'm...
Thanks Tim, I haven't ran it hard since the noise, I'll report with the process.. (hopefully the progress)
I Have a tick in the head of my new van which I believe is a stuck lifter. It wasn't there on the 10 hour drive back to its new home and either was the steady oil leak, both problems occurred after...
Can you direct me to the thread of mandatory hard to get van parts that are a must have at a you pull it? Fusable links etc.?
I went through the honeymoon phase with these vans also and almost bought one out of California and had it shipped yet it didn't materialize. IMO-If that's the way you want to go, it should be either...
Jordan, There's a decent 88 cargo in orlando on craigslist now for 800 obo with 200k miles.
Havn't checked if this is possible with the vans, but is the belt on the water pump correctly? I had an altima were the belt was put on in a way it turned the water pump the opposite way and water...
Tim, I tried to brake it free with the force of the van with no luck. It was pushed on gravel and concrete before. I've access to heavy machinery. Could I bathe the entire brake with used motor...
Tim, The van fired up and seems to run smooth. I had the back end raised on jack stands and the transmission seems good. How can I get it to start again from the key as opposed to the push button...
I've got power to the fuel pump through jumping the test connector. I didn't check if there was power to the pump w/o jumping the tester (I don't think so though- I will tommorow). Should I change...
I pulled the tank and cleaned, replaced the fuel pump and found that there is no power to the fuel pump. I believe there is power to the tank gauge since the fuel light is on (possibly sitting in...
Thanks, I do have the clicking behind the glove box jumping the test connector with no fuel pump sound and am preparing for the fuel pump surgery hopefully soon. I'll keep you posted (may be a bit...
