    Blowing Coolant and overheating. Blown Head Gasket ???

    I took the Cruiser over to Wits' End today and Joey had a look. The fan clutch is fine and he doesn't think it's the head gasket (though he will test it). He found a split in the PHH and suggested I replace several smaller, old, original hoses and clamps. Sooo... thanks everyone for the...

    So is this kit the complete hose kit (along with the PHH) I will need for under the manifold?

    Blowing Coolant and overheating. Blown Head Gasket ???

    Wow.... CONVINCED!! I will just have to limp home tomorrow.... stopping about every 90 miles to cool down and add 2 gallons of water for 600 miles. This is going to be fun... Thanks so much.

    Blowing Coolant and overheating. Blown Head Gasket ???

    This all sounds do-able.... I will get the PHH that sogafarm recommends and hand this job over to my mechanic friend. Meantime I have to drive 600 miles to get the beast home. I was going to pour in a bottle of Barr's Blown Headgasket Repair just to make the trip easier (hopefully). Thanks...

    Blowing Coolant and overheating. Blown Head Gasket ???

    Hey All.... I just had a new Denzo radiator and thermostat installed because my '96 was overheating under load. It still overheats and now it's spitting coolant from somewhere under the manifold (see photos.. red arrows). I am no mechanic. Is this a heat gasket situation? During a trip from...

    '96 Window Motor suggestions? Mine keep fizzling out.

    Problem solved! Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions. I got an OEM motor at a good price for the front window and I got the Aisin regulators with motor from RockAuto for the rear.... I used the recommended 3M Dry Silicone lube for the rubber and it is all up and running!!! Much...

    '96 Window Motor suggestions? Mine keep fizzling out.

    Well well well my fellow Oregonian. How interesting! My problem was exactly the same. In winter I literally had to "help" the windows up with my hands sometimes. Where exactly are you putting this spray? I'm going to try and get some today!!!

    Good to know that you've "been there" with this problem. Is there some sort of discounted source for these that you know of? Thanks! We like it very much here in Ashland. Been here?

    Yeah... I was hoping to not spend that much money. Maybe that's the only answer??

    '96 Window Motor suggestions? Mine keep fizzling out.

    The window motors all slowed way down in the last several years so I replaced all 4 of them with rebuilt motors and I replaced all the rubber. The new rubber still seems stiff and is probably over-taxing the motors.... and the replacement motors suck! Two have died already with the windows...

    My Front Seats Need to be Replaced. If you had about $1500 and wanted an easy fix what would you do?

    They look great! How did you handle the brackets?

    I like the Sequoia seat idea! Thanks for all the tips. I'm quite short at 5'7 so this will be very helpful !!

    That's a good idea.... do they need new, fabricated brackets?

    I have the sheepskins and I love them. The electric adjust is kaput. I tried to fix it on the passenger side but I couldn't get it right. I headed for manual adjust seats of some sort.
