This was the first 80 I ever fell in love with. Hope she goes to a good home, buddy. What a great, capable and cared for rig. Sentimental bump from yours truly.
Hey, no problem. The shroud just left my right forearm bruised. I'd take a bruise over the time and hassle of removing the shroud any day.
The power steering pump pulley removal was just as easy as binding it up with a socket extension through the pulley holes and backing it off. I know, from...
The fan shroud was certainly in the way when I was up top releasing the tension on the idler pulley, and when removing the power steering pump pulley, and down at the bottom when I was trying to twist and turn the alt into weird positions to sneak it out. ...but I got all that done without...
Yep! It's a GX470, and I do have slots in the pulley. I had read somewhere in previous pages about it being a black diamond part, and didn't want to have to go messing with the stealership for another one. I just can't figure out why that would be not reusable...? Unless it's of a softer...
I'm in the middle of replacing the alternator in my '06 GX and ran into the same problems many have encountered with the PS pump pulley. Just before I had to shut down for the night, I tried quickly to take the PS pulley off, but was having problems securing it from spinning on me. Came back...
Thanks for all the replies so far! LOL After more research, it seems like it may be a classic Height Sensor failure. Taking it into the stealership tomorrow to diagnose, then I'll go from there.
Anyone know what my rights are, if any, on warranty? 53k and I'm second owner.
On second thought, after crawling underneath in the rain this morning, I see air springs AND air shocks. I assumed these were like Lincolns in that its an air bag/shock or strut combination unit, not two separate entities. I'm assuming the air springs (bags) handle the suspending, and the air...
Just brought home my GX 470 with 52k on the clock and the 3 hour drive home was complete with a slap in the face that the rear shocks were wasted. Bouncing to the point I hit my head on the roof a few times. I've heard of this Air Suspension Conversion Kit, which deletes the failing air...
What a blast! I'm addicted to KO's. And it's not so much the wheeling that's the most fun, but the great people who show up, and all the beers your liver gets to play with all weekend.
Thanks again, Shreg. One helluva host.
