For those of you who were at Katemcy earlier this year, there was a red 60/62 parked by the pavilion on Friday that has also been for sale on Austin Craigs. Anyone know the owner? He had 6-8 people standing around talking about it. Trying to determine if its still for sale. Jim

There was a clean red 62 at this year's Roundup in Katemcy parked right next to the pavilion on Friday. It has also been for sale on CL in Austin. Anyone know the owner? Jim

You have a PM.

That was it. Somewhere along the way someone installed one of the small orange/black one-way check valves backwards in the line from the AC VSV back to the idle-up actuator, so the VSV wasn't able to pull the diaphragm open. I reversed the check valve and voila, it started working. Adjusted...

You are correct, it must have been the cold air idle up. It only lasted about 5 -7 seconds....likely because ambient temps here were nearly 90F when I started it. I removed the suspect actuator and it does respond to and hold vacuum well. I think the reason it was bleeding off before was I...

Interesting that after monkeying with it, when I started the truck cold today it rev'd up to 1000 rpms because the AC button was on. I quickly adjusted it back to the spec 880 rpms, but no sooner had I done so than it let go and rpms dropped back down. So yes it appears the diaphragm is...

I love it. After 16 years of wrenching on Cruisers I finally found something no one has the answer to. :steer:

Working on baselining the truck and can't adjust valves til new valve cover gasket arrives. In the meantime I adjusted the base idle up from 600 rpms to manual spec @ 770 rmps (AT). But I am not sure AC idle up is working. Per the manual I remove and plug both vacuum lines going to idle up...

JB whasssuuppp??? Yep, that's motivational for sure. OME on order, going through and resolving all the issues now. It will be looking good in another month. Jim

No longer needed.

Just a word of advice. Always set the timing first, then adjust the carb mixture. You can monkey with a carb all day, then change the timing 1 degree and you have to start over. I think you'd want it idling closer to 650.

What you are describing does not sound like a "stock spring just 2" taller." I will almost bet that the spring rates on your new springs are mucho higher than OEM. Couple a really stiff spring with too soft of a shock and you get the bounce. If its all new equipment then its either that or...

FYI if you want a video peek. Same process as the 80 once you get past the manually locking hubs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vl53g9EBuE

Wrong section.

Thanks for the detailed post Greg. Oil was clean and fresh when I left Colorado (not sure what brand) and its starting to turn darker as I approach 1500 miles, 1100 of which were hard pounding back to TX and 350-400 around this last week, all above 95F. I am going to put Rotella in it and see...
