I have greased these to what I thought was a good level then found out differently later.
I can fill that hole till I see it hear the top. Put the plug back in, drive it 3 miles round trip and take the plug out and can not see the grease any...
I don't post much but been tracking this thread for a while and hearing/seeing all the posts finally got to me and I pulled the trigger on the turbo kit and intercooler for my 94 this weekend. Hope to add pics/video during/after the install.
Clocked a little over 1000 miles on the turbo already. What an absolute blast it is to drive. Loaded up with family and stuff to the brim she was scooting. I’m only seeing like 5psi and feeling the 2.5” exhaust is the restriction. But still at...
Finally! It’s been 21 months since my first call to discuss the Stage 1 kit with Johnny. Now, with the engine and transmission rebuilt, the turbo kit installed, and a couple bugs worked out, I’m experiencing drivability in an 80 far more...
Took her for her first rip over to the exhaust shop this morning. She boogies with just a downpipe, totally different truck and driving experience. She is much quieter with the exhaust hooked up. But she still rips, less turbo noise so one day...
So, I buttoned up the coolant leak and went for a drive. There is a very steep and long hill near my home. It joins into a loop so I ran the loop several times. She reached 7 psi.
More faster she was than any 80 I ever drove! Absolutely...
It’s tight, no way around it on the 80. PDI kit is the same way for the diesel trucks. Without making it cost waaaaayyyy more than it already is there’s no way to get it to not touch something under the hood. The softline on top of the rad...
I daily my stage2 3x/wk to work, 120miles round trip and 100 miles of it is bumper to bumper (bay area traffic). Been 104 hottest this summer and no issue with cables melting.
I've had *zero* issues with the AC performance with the turbo/downpipe in close proximity to the AC line(s) so far. And I drive it like it owes me money in the Nevada summer heat!
Dude is likely just trying to recoup all that he's put into it. I can speak from experience that it's real easy to have a 100k 80 and mine surely doesn't look that good! If he paid labor to have work done, it'll add up quick.
That said, one...
