Control arms from a 94 80 series. OEM bushings installed two years ago and have 11k miles on them. No idea if this is a fair price... $250 for the pair obo. Also have new dobinson caster correction bushings. Paid $150 for them a few months ago. $100

Curious why rubber is the right choice. I just finished a 2.5” lift last weekend and have those poly bushings in hand to install. Should I have gone with the rubber ones?

This thread was a life saver. I had codes 42, 62 and 63. Assumed it was a ground and checked every wire in the transmission harness without any luck. The engine to chassis ground strap mentioned in this thread was in place, but I removed it anyway and cleaned the connection points. Problem...

I’m still waiting on the first one to wear out.

I have oil and air filters from 12/16/1996.

If you still need someone to print this, I can help. I have TPU in hand if you’re ok splitting up the printing. I have no use for a bench power supply so no trade required.

Thanks for the responses. Dealership was running a July 4th deal with free shipping so I bought a new alternator. Worse case if that doesn’t fix it is I have a cheap spare.

I didn’t use a gauge. It’s extremely tight though. I’ll get one to make sure that’s not the problem. Thanks!

I recently changed the drive belts and ever since, voltage sits at mid 11 volts at the battery and alternator when the vehicle is running. It was always mid 13s to 14 volts prior to the belt change. OEM belts and nothing else done during the service. Any ideas? It doesn’t make sense and not...

Umstead park. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an 80 out there other than mine.

I’ll be at Frisco Oct 14-16 to do some fishing. If you see a green 80 series, feel free to stop and say Hi.

Don’t have any dent removal to reference, but he was straight forward to the point of talking me out of having the dents removed. He ended up providing a reasonable quote after I pushed for a number and he was very honest about what he could and couldn’t do.

Very cool. I’ll probably have someone with me then, maybe two.

Include me. Is it limited to 8 people or 8 vehicles?
