Didn't get the spigots changed out but hooked up enough to get her outside for the first time in three years View attachment 1289815 View attachment 1289816 View attachment 1289817
Dude, that is looking amazing, great job on the build! Did she squint when she got out in the sunlight?
Could be TC shifter issue. Did you take TC or shift linkage apart?
Are front hubs locked? Are drive shafts in phase? Ebrake problem?
You're close, maybe give it a break for a couple of days?
Master cylinder?!
Crack a bleader with a piece of hose on the end and see if it frees the wheels up.
Brakes binding would induce all kinds of bad driving characteristics.
Wheels/hubs hot after driving?
Congratulations BTW, you are close...
Nothing wrong with taking a breather. I just recently took a breather from mine for a problem that took some time to figure out so I feel your frustration. At least yours looks fantastic sitting in the garage.
In adding to Pacer regarding the front shimmy: bolts loosen up (ubolts, steering bolts, spring bolts, TREs, etc)? tires got balanced? definitely an alignment if you haven't done that already.
Pacer, I think the brakes are binding up. It hasn't been out of the garage for 3 years. They turned freely before the test drive. I didn't check the wheels or hubs afterwards.
Boots, taking a break this weekend and spending time at the lake. Back at it Monday refreshed and ready to go. Tires are balanced, steering bolts, u-bolts and TRE's are tight. Will be taking it for a front end alignment on Monday also. I'll post how it drives after that.
Thanks guys
I know pretty much everything is new on that thing, but did you do the leaf spring/shackle bushings? When I was running leafs I experienced almost exactly what you described and all of those bushings were destroyed. replaced them and it drove like new again.
You are soo close!
I recommend a power steering cooler if you don't have one already... The internal pump on the isuzu seems to heat transfer to the fluid quite well.
