So, in conclusion to the door panel portion of the thread.....I selected to lose power mirrors, and dash mount the switch. After careful consideration it seemed like the best choice for ease of installation and aesthetics. I carefully trimmed off the mirror control off the top of the master...
First step, remove belt, PS pump, and hoses. Install your two fittings in the rack. Lower fitting is the pressure line.
Fitting side of AN fitting
Hose side of AN fitting. The ridges hold the hose, and there is a stop collar.
Insert the hose fully till it stops on the stop collar ridge...
I did a few mods to mine to help towing though my application will be slightly different then you but maybe you can take a few cues. I did a AWD delete, rear gear swap, Circle D torque converter, big front mount aux trans cooler, rebuilt and beefed up 4l60e, Air Lift helper bags in the rear with...
Finally got the passenger rear seat delete done. They sent me the wrong color carpet so I sent it back. Not sure what Im gonna do so Im just leaving it for now. May get a wild hair and order some one day soon.
I need to wire the door switches, then put the finishing trim on the doors and the...
AC compressor. AC is either on or off. To maintain ANY temp other then full cold it has to turn off periodically. Same way an air compressor does to maintain pressure in the tank for air tools.
Though i dont have many miles on this combo I always try to think of things that may be a potential issue down the road. I havent liked the idea of the plastic Dorman overflow tank, so I bought an aluminum one.......and made a simple L bracket.
Quick test fit
Have heard stories about how turbo...
Got a little done this weekend. Basically started with this:
Realized right off the bat, the hole they cut for the door handle was a courtesy cut, and nowhere near correct for install.
This was my initial thinking, but ended up about doubling it due to me wanting the lock lever to be exposed...
Rod bearings generally take the first amount of abuse from lack of oil or aerated oil. They scuff up to a certain point until one finally spins. Takes more then just a little idling to do them in though.
Got the AN hose ends in, and the MAP sensor pigtail installed. When I cranked the car it was idling at 16.5 AFR so i threw some fuel at it in HPTuners and realized I'm probably starting over from scratch retuning the car. Not super thrilled about that.
Got to play with the cutoff wheel a little...
Summit dropped off a surprise.
Spent the morning making some simple brackets out of 1.5" wide flatbar. Though the seats are very stable, I think I going to add a backbrace to them temporarily until there is a cage to support the backrests.
After an hour of cussing i got the passenger door bar...
Well if you remember the ttop well removal and flat floor installation a few pages back, its gonna be just like that. Wouldnt be a bad spot to mount an oil cooler or something.....hmmm idears.
The floor is actually dipped in to allow the seat cushion to sit flat. On this pic, see how the floor is flat, then dips into a bucket about where the seatbelt mount comes through the floor? Im going to eliminate that bowl shape. No real reason other then it gives me a little more room under the...
She's been on the back burner for a bit, other then the pickup tube repair, due to the turbo TA i was building for a buddy. But she went home Sunday so its time to get back on this car and get ready for some personal best springtime ETs. And we know these cars are never done right?
So I had a...
5100 is for lifted trucks, 4600 is for stock or slightly lowered. I removed my autorideshocks and stock compressor setup. Replaced it with bilstein 4600s and AirLifts bags (go inside stock springs) and compressor/gauge. Works awesome. I monitor bag psi from the drivers seat and add or fill air...
Basically, the motor was super healthy at 101k miles. It did shave the rods some due to the cavitation. I did cut the filter open and its not as bad as the last motors filters were, but there was no doubt an above average amount of bearing floating through the engine. I did the best i could, did...
