Link above from '04. Map on pg7 shows the trail (Rich Mountain Rd) I believe we ran back in the day . Not sure if its even still open.
I can see the trail in sat mode on Google.
Chiming in on Beasley... Fun trail but IIRC its a mud fest and heavily rutted. Its been around 15yrs since I've been on it though.
Any of yall run the trails around Rich Mountain? I remember them being fun as well. Cant remember exactly where we hopped on though.
How much coolant should exit the radiator when you pull the cap on a cold system?
I recently replaced my radiator (Denso), both hoses and the t-stat. Retained radiator cap from OEM unit. Big burp after install. Coolant topped just below the cap line. No leaks. Truck is running perfectly, heats...
Several stories so far about guys flipping 5th gens for a 100. I was one and like the rest I didn't look back.
My 4R was a DD as well as a back country truck. I now have a beater sedan for the work commute and the 100 is reserved for weekend fun. I had a '13 Trail w/ KDSS. The pathetic power...
OP- I’ve been very pleased with the set up below. Should be within your budget.
OME 860 (or 863 if running drawers and full load)
OME TBs
Ironman Pro Foams
Slee drop
SPC UCAs
I dont blame ACC, get it while the gettin is good. If I had a large resto mod project with the cash to match I'd trust them over any shop in the SE. Many of us are budget conscious weekend warriors and just don't fit into that ultra premium category.
Thanks and good call on the PB.
Im going to try to loosen the screws tonight and see what happens. If frozen I'll pull the MC.
I'll tear down the motor if the MC gets pulled, are there any tell tale signs that a commutator is on the way out? I've seen your pics showing dead spots on a comm...
@abuck99 did you fully disconnect the screws prior to the dremel job? I fear my screws are going to be seized up so may need to hit them with some PB blaster over a couple of days. Any concern with PB corroding the plastic on the ABS unit?
@2001LC Major thanks for the info you’ve provided us in this thread!
I kept my head burried in the sand and avoided this thread for quite some time...glad I finally reviewed this week. I found a badly corroded connection on my 04 LX w/139k.
My concern now is that the pump motor could still...
I had very similar issues with mine initially...turned out that the harness was plugged in to the head unit just far enough to make a connection but just loose enough cause malfunction. Dumby moment for me but it's been 100% perfect on my '04 since.
2nd Southern Offroad- They stripped out my AHC system and added about 2hrs total labor to my lift install. Total install cost was around $700 lower than ACC, plus they only needed a few days lead time to get me in. My AHC strip was their first, I sent them the AHC schematic from the FSM to...
I had a similar debate some time ago but decided to stay with the 275s for all of the aforementioned reasons.
Hope the 305 crowd chimes in here, I'm curious how much power and fuel economy suffers after jumping from 275 to 305. My 100 spends most of its life on-road so I was concerned about the...
