Thanks everyone for the replies here. According to @Malleus s comment, I'm guessing this is airbag sensor, not seatbelt. Unless this light is also used for DS seatbelt. Although, I could not find any housing for it, and OBD2 is not throwing any codes. Last time when I had an ABS light throw, I...

Hi - I've seen similar posts on the other tech forums, but wondering if anyone knows a likely culplrit for this on the 80? As title implies, the red airbag/seatbelt light started randomly going on then off for a while. Now its just always on and never goes off. Its one of those annoying...

as the title suggests, id like to try to replace/upgrade the factory amp located behind the front passenger glovebox in my 80, rather than bypass it with a new head unit. (i just really like the look of the old school 90's head unit and don't want to change it- also i like the two little...

Does anyone have experience keeping the factory head unit, but replacing the little amp behind passenger side glove compartment that feeds the speakers? Looking at something small like this as a possible drop in replacement with some sodering: Stealth Series -...

THANK YOU!

yes

I ordered another u joint for replacement in preparation - but just gonna run it as is for now. Will update later on how it goes once I finish up a few other repairs!

If that was the case, would it be able to move freely and smoothly as it does?

Great tip! I learned my lesson on this one and now I know to let physics (hot/cold and some good ol leverage ) be my friend next time!

Well this is all great advice for next time I do it :) - I ended up banging the new ones back in LOL (and i mean BANGING) - because of the damage to the inner housing, one of the bearing caps would not go in all the way to be able to get the little circlip on, but it was pretty close, and it...

Yes, but, can I just replace the race, or do I need to replace the whole assembly. Bc I don't see any info about how to replace the races on the joints? Also, I can't seem to find any part numbers anywhere for the races themselves.

Yes, I'd been following that video, but it doesn't say what to do if the actual races are damaged... For reference:

i might have been slightly over-zealous on the hammering in retrospect.... but they were really stuck in there

So I am trying to tackle changing out the u joint on the front and rear prop shafts for the first time on my 300K mileage '80. I just finally managed to get those fk'ers off the front prop out of there with the hammer method, and low and behold, the bearing races look pretty destroyed (and i...

Thank you @Francis K ... I totally agree. Its sad too bc this is a source that people rely on for information, why try to cover it up? all the excuses of "life gets in the way" - or "give joey another few months..." well thats fine, but if you cant fulfill orders, don't accept them anymore. its...
