Also, did connect a ScanGuage. While key is in "On" position, but obviously not running, ScanGuage says no codes

Looking for any help diagnosing a non start issue. Battery is charged. turning the key to ignition I hear a consistent clicking and simultaneously the dash lights and head lights flash on and off. Engine never turns over. Has been driving fine for past 5 years I've owned it, about 157,000 miles...

Been watching this thread and hearing my wife's complaints for a couple of years, so finally spent some time on the subject. I still need the wife's approval after experience but the temperature reading is promising. I made three modifications at the same time, so unsure which have the greatest...

Congrats!!

I'm still collecting my notes to put up a longer post of my radiator replacement, but this point I found most interesting. I tested the replacement thermostat on the stove top in a pan of water and found it closed at 179 degrees. Now driving around the Scan Gauge is often at 179 degrees. I'll...

My understanding is the front AHC sensors are averaged for height setting. Adjusting the Torsion bars is the way to get the front to level out. Shouldn't need to reindex unless you run out of adjustment. One other note. The 100 series leans left because the left carriers more weight. Often a...

First thing to do is mark the torsion bar and the torque arm so when you reassembly you can put them into the same spline orientation. The torque arm unbolts from the Lower Suspension Arm and slides back on the Torsion Bar. Hitting it ahead of time with some sort of penetrating oil will be...

General question for those folks that are reading this thread. When I was looking at replacement radiators I reached out to Ron Davis to see if they offered a factory fit for the 100 series, they do not. They did offer to build me one but needed to see the exisiting radiator to work off of. Now...

I see that you already got an answer last night but thought I'd follow up for others who are reading through this. Ok to leave the engine lifted, I had mine lifted on the 2x4 for 3 weeks since I had the luxury of taking my time. As for centering the steering rack, like you I was unable to move...

Not required but i refreshed all the rubber pieces of my front torsion bar at the same time

@BenCC regarding the hood strut clip, would be great to know the diameter for each model. Reason I ask is I want a set for my LX but I no longer have factory struts, bought aftermarket from Amazon

That's what I thought. Thanks for sending the photo. Bummer that my kit doesn't have enough washers then. Guess I'll wait till Monday and call Slee.

I'm finally getting around to installing a kit I bought last year for my '99 but I'm not clear on the brass washer positioning. My kit came with five brass washers. Four of the hoses have banjos, Am I correct in thinking that each banjo needs two washers, one on each side? Did I just not get...

@ghong14 I've taken the advise from others on this forum and look up part numbers specific to my vehicle (LX) and year ('99) on Partsouq.com. I highly recommend you do the same since parts can vary by year and model. I found that hose part number for my truck HERE and can be assured it fits...

Just another experience to share. I was never able to 'slip' the column assembly up, there was never movement. I decoupled the steering column from the rack by sliding the rack forward. For lifting the engine, I centered my floor jack, with a piece of wood, on the bell housing to lift. Since...
