Marry Christmas and happy New Year to all

saab9k

I would go with a VW turbo diesel, they are easy to work with.

saab9k

Have fun.

saab9k

I know, you got to have fun too.

My 1989 taurus sho is getting 28 to 30 m/g speeds below 80.

Buy a older vw rabbit, convert it to used cooking oil. There are several driving around

saab9k

I have this one, converting it to a trike in a few weeks. Champion for yamaha roadstar silverado.

saab9k

I used to loan tools out. For some reason they were never returned.

Now i charge a double value deposit, people think i am crazy.

I still have the tools.

saab9k

You are doing an excellent job. Keep it coming

saab9k

yes i would sand thru clearcoat, down in yellow, if thru yellow paint spots first, so truck is uniform yellow overall, then hit with a coat of yellow, then clear it.

saab9k

your tube filter is most likely full of dirt, low should be 35 max 38 , with compressor cyckling.

don't forget the dryer, flush with a 1/4 of cleaner for air con systems.

saab9k

engine running, compressor cyckling, low side 35 up to max 38. High side 2.5 times outside temp

saab9k

Common sense is having the right amount of freon in system, if not cool / cold then would be to find the problem. That what i do when working on it, i do have a recover unit/ re-cycler /charger.

saab9k

engine running, compressor cyckling, low side 35 up to max 38. High side 2.5 times outside temp, in the Shadow.

Temp in car, truck depends on system condition.

low around 33 to 35 when cyckling on idle, high 2.5 times outside temp.
I go by the low in most cases.
Could be office tube filter clocked.

I do have a recover unit, have found replace the tube, drier helps, sometimes add a little oil if compresser makes more noise than usual.

saab9k

I have used a plasma cutter ti cut rear panel sections of, only burnt paint a 1/4 inch from cut.

It was one using argon. The one i have now is compressed air, it creates more heat, will cut thicker metal too, up to 3/4" .

saab9k

very nice job.

I am going to do that too.

Are you going to change the fuel pump while it is apart?

yes, will do 2 more new michelin tires, the 2 left is at 50%.

saab9k

The rear door got some small nics on it, is easy to fix. Is complete, front door is mostly a shell.

saab9k

Is ready to fix it, got $1105. added to fix it. Found all the parts needed. cost me $100. in diesel for pickup, $500.00 for parts.

here is a pic of it

saab9k

My dodge 1 ton was burned i back included the cab on left side, made that into single in rear with flat bed.

Made the bed of metal i found in shop, had to buy floor plate.

Was a long bed truck, shorted frame, moved hitch forward 32 ".

IIRC back in my early days in dealership garage there were a few individuals running "nitro"-gen in their tires mainly in large luxury cars. The best they ever got or even hoped for was 1-2% better wear or fuel mileage. In my book at least definitely not worth the extra expense. You did not say tha...

saab9k

One of the Stabilizer bar end links was broken, i replaced both of them and the thumping stopped. Im not exactly sure how the mechanic and the alignment shop missed that. i replaced them with MOOG end links. front end seems alittle tighter than it was before. Thanks for the info on the torsion bars...

saab9k

:lol: You paid extra for air? I fill all my stuff with 78% nitrogen. It is highly unlikely that anyone will see any difference by adding a slightly greater amount of nitrogen for our application. It won't hurt, but it is a scam to make a few more dollars on a tire change. New valve stems every time...

saab9k

just bought 2 new 15" Michelin for my wrecked ZR5 $ 303.00 mounted , balanced with nitro instead of air.

saab9k

If i wanted a high lift, i would make it myself. Between a iron worker, a lathe ,milling machine, Plasma cutter, wire welder almost every thing is possible.

saab9k

do you have a left rear door, would buy left front too.

saab9k

He came today, wrote a $5020.00 estimate, to fix it.

saab9k

look at this setup

http://www.s-10crewcab.net/forums/viewt ... =13&t=8273

i posted it

saab9k

That sho is a rocket, in it's younger days, i turned the engine 8000 rpm several times. In the F1 version it turned 14000 rpm, Yamaha did a excellent job on that engine.

saab9k

Here is my saab 9000CD, + the taurus sho 1989 model 5 speed i bought in 1992 used with 51000 miles, still in warrenty. 160xxx miles now, has a 2007 tag on it. Need a fuel pump, ready to go then.

saab9k

It is paid for, so insurance check will be issued to me. Tag-ed , new inspection sticker on my 1992 saab9k turbo, Eddie griffin edition, # 141 of 400. That car will scoop, and get good fuel mileage, would not mind that engine being in the S10. The Saab has been parked since 2008, needed new battery,...

saab9k

this is the one i bought, added instalation kit for a 2004 s10, has the adaptor, face part and a box there make every thing work like the factory 5 cd unit.

There are 3 2004 PICKUP CREW CAB vehicles (0.025%) matching your exact options list. There are 3 (0.025%) with at least as many options. My car is really common, why does this indicate that it's rare? If you parked your car next to one of the hundreds or thousands of similar cars in our database you...

saab9k

It's possible you have a clogged heater core as well. How many miles are on the truck? Even if you flush the cooling system, if the core is clogged it won't get hot, and then your air won't get hot because it will be passing through a core that isn't hot. That is an easy fix, remove hoses from engi...
