    Dobinson's spring compressor?

    Thanks! I was able to get the other option at Advance. If it doesn't work, I'll order those. This was the fifth different vehicle I've done springs on and first time I've encountered such narrow spacing.

    Dobinson's spring compressor?

    "D" light bulb replacement?

    Just after getting gas, had rough idle, hesitation, fuel smell and white cloud from exhaust. Did the head gasket about 40k ago, so feared the worst. Not head gasket.

    speedometer & odometer not working

    Wonder what caused the break? I'm at 220k now and it was original. Thank you for offering a spare, I just ended up ordering a new VSS.

    speedometer & odometer not working

    I am battling this now too. Wires look fine. What ground is this? Also, VSS appear normal?

    Rear coil spring question

    I am definitely not opposed to air bags. I run them on my F150. A trailer with a tongue weight of 400 pounds is a little more than I like to tow in the 80.

    Rear coil spring question

    If they're the same height - what is the issue?

    Rear coil spring question

    As easy as it is to change the springs, why not just swap out to heavier springs when you tow?

    Fj80 blown head gasket

    Have an option to do it yourself? Not as hard as you think if the bottom end is good.
