    U-joints

    Hey Greg Look up "Buzzy 80" in the search feature. See if that is what you are talking about. I have the same problem and their doesn't seem to be a consensus on what it is. I was thinking about taking all of the theories and knock them off one by one and reporting back to the group.

    More Vibration Woes

    I think I said it was a 96 with 85K. No mods. AT Revo's on the wheels. I'll look up the buzz, but I can definately feel it, especially on the passenger side. And like I said the transfer case shifter moves a bit when I accelerate. What are the life span on engine and transmission mounts?

    More Vibration Woes

    I have a 96 cruiser, 85K miles. I have a vibration when I accelerate in the floor boards and in my hi/lo shifter. The vibration gets worse with speed and is worse on the passenger's side floor. In addition, when I accelerate my hi/lo shifter "moves" to the right a bit. My exhaust is getting...

    Bizarre Radiator Hose Problem

    Little Background: 1996 LC with 68K. I bought the thing with green in the radiator but haven't flushed it out to put red in it. The hoses "look" okay. No evidence of splitting or rot. Here's the problem. The last two days when I take the truck out on a short trip and stop, I loose about a...

    Oil pan gasket?

    I guess what I meant was when they changed the filter did they do a messy job and let a bunch of oil leak out of the used filter by not putting a rag down there?

    Oil pan gasket?

    Did you do the oil change yourself? Is it possible it was just a crappy formal filter removal?

    Little easier FSM tip

    You can take it to staples or Office Max, or another office supply store. They can do it for you. I also put in plastic tab dividers for the sections. Works much better. It is a real FSM, but the second half was seperating at the top of the book and I was always afraid that if I flexed it...

    Little easier FSM tip

    I recently got an FSM off ebay and when I got it the glue in the binding was giving away, which made it a PITA when doing a valve adjustment recently on my 96FZJ80 Sooo, I took all the pages out of the cover, section by section, three hole punched them and put those little round plastic...

    Drive Belt Replacement Saga

    "Given that this is my DD, I'd be VERY concerned with me doing this w/o some first time guidance. Lack of mechanical confidence is what it boils down to I guess." I'm a :banana: mechanic and I find that I'm too stupid to know what I can screw up and attempt almost anything including a valve...

    Insurance + Old 80 series

    Ask them about a $1500 or $2000 deductible and get back to us to let us know how that helps. That being said, you have a) be mentally and financially prepared to shell out that if you get into trouble, and b) try to drive better.

    Insurance + Old 80 series

    At 19 with 2, I can't believe you are getting off so cheap. I agree with TX TLC. What is your deductible. Get the full cov and raise your deductible to a $1000 or even $1500.(I have $2000 on mine.) It sounds like a lot, but it will bring your rates down considerably and concievably you could...
