    The dreaded AC Amplifier (Auto)

    I realized that perhaps there aren't many carb'd 80 series in this forum, so I went back in time and dug in the past. I found a thread from the brothers in the 60 series forum, I beleive the answers are there. Explain what the AC Amplifier does ? -...

    The dreaded AC Amplifier (Auto)

    Once again I seek the collective inteligence of the guru's on this group. I've had a problem with my AC and trying to trouble shoot the cause. The AC works fine with excellent cooling, it kicks in when rpm is around +900 as it should. In the past when I'd stop in a traffic light (AC button...

    Shrapnel in my Front Differential

    I'm avoiding resurrecting this thread but something is not right here........ If this plate is to prevent damage to the lip of the oil seal while installing the axle then it should be a bit higher than the seal to lift & prevent the axle rubbing on the oil seal while inserting it, if this...

    Shrapnel in my Front Differential

    Thanks for the input..... That's what I thought since I changed the outer front axle shafts many years ago but, as far as I recall, the axles went smoothly in, without resistance and without using any force at all. I'd understand that this plate could be dislodged on the driver's side as the...

    Shrapnel in my Front Differential

    Winter is almost here (time for desert trips) and had to dig into the front differential, after 7 months, so I am not grounded this winter. An update on the above issue, perhaps someone can benefit from my experience as I have benifited many times from the collective intelligence on this...

    Shrapnel in my Front Differential

    I know this is a difficult question to answer, but perhaps the collective intelligence of this group can direct me in the right direction. I was changing the front diff oil yesterday and found some shrapnel in the magnetic drain plug. I have a 97 80 Series, with 600,000 Km on it so far, free...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Been there, but didn't do that. Opted to make a special tool from an old speargun pump I had as a child. It's been working for like 6 years now, no problems. and a snug fit on the head of the allen screw holding the fuse for my LightForce.

    80 Series Barn Door Blues

    I presume that 80 series with barn doors are not very common in the US, perhaps there are a few mudders here who might have them. The Barn Door Blues are quite agitating to say the least, I dont know if anyone has listened to them before ? With time, the "Roller" in the Roller Assy, Spare Wheel...

    ARB Onboard Compressor Trouble Shooting.

    To add, I was contemplating how to reinstall the current motor cap, particularly setting the brushes on the commutator as it is a bit tricky. After fiddling around a bit I found out that if you push the brushes deeper into their holder the brush spring is designed in a way that the brush stays...

    ARB Onboard Compressor Trouble Shooting.

    Tkx @landcrshr, a friend will gift me ARB's upgraded replacement cover, I'll see if it will revive the unit and what upgrade to the components if any.

    ARB Onboard Compressor Trouble Shooting.

    My ARB CKM onboard compressor just died. I checked the 40 Amp fuse & it was shot so I replaced the fuse and the new one burnt. I went ahead and dismantled the motor cap, brushes seemed healthy enough, a bit worn but nothing drastic. I am not savy in electrical issues, but I think the problem is...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    She's already got initiated in mechanics and greased her elbows, overhaul of the cooling system, front & rear end work and a OME lift kit. Bless them all the children, the world is a zoo nowadays.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    I wish, she wanted one so badly but I couldn't afford it. It really sucks when one of you kids wants something and you can't get it. It was a graduation present, she's a Yale Graduate, that's where all the money went.
