    Alarm problem--don't laugh.

    On my 62 I have one of those Viper alarms (PO installed). I don't use it simply because the buttons on my key fob are gone. But, last weekend while sitting in my dish of keys, just the contact must have been made on the fob to turn the alarm on. It went nuts when I went to get in the truck...

    bad idle after new exaust

    I had a few exhaust leaks bad O2 sensors and cats. But i had a perfect idle. I got a whole new exhaust system and now I have a very rough idle. After a long warm up it adjusts and runs well (and I just passed inspection for the first time in awhile.) I've looked in my manual but can't quite...

    Complete exhaust system

    Based on recent posts it looks like EMS and MAF are both working on bolt on complete exhaust systems from the manifolds back. But they aren't done yet. Anyone recommend a full systems that are on the market now? Thanks.

    Oil Leak-head gasket

    I've poked around a lot of the head gasket posts, but haven't read anything about my condition. My '90 62 sat for a few week. I started up and it started to smoke from the back of the block. I've always had a pretty oily engine and little leaks, and I think most old LCs do. Once in a while...

    metal rubbing noise

    New brake pads on the front of a 62. Now, when I turn left, there's a prominent metal on metal rubbing sound from the left front wheel. Nothing obvious is causing it. Any thoughts on what might be rubbing metal on metal during a left turn? And it's not a hard over turn, an easy turn will do...

    Emissions test

    I know there are other emissions threads on here and I've read a lot of them, but I'm looking for some advice on my specific situation on my 62. I recently failed a test. I know I need new O2 sensors (been throwing that code for a awhile) and probably new cat converter. I also have a small...

    easy braking question

    When I break the truck pulls to the left. Just check pads/calipers/etc? I know my alignment is a little off.

    U-joints

    Anyone have a picture of worn ones so I can compare? Or will the shaft invariably be loose if they are worn? (I don't get any wiggle)

    serious vibration problem

    This is getting worse and starting to concern me. When I am accelerating, usually slowing of course, and hit 55 mph, about half the time (maybe a little less) I get a pretty violent vibration in in the floorboards and pretty much the whole cab. If I let off the gas it immediately stops. If I...

    How far should I drive...

    ...with a lug nut missing? Doesn't seem like a big deal to me (I can get a new one tomorrow, but that's after I'm driving 150 miles). Is it a struck by lightening kind of danger, or a I bet you can't knock me out with that hammer kind of danger?

    Differentials 101

    This question is so rudimentary, I've searched and can't find the answer. It's like asking how to boil an egg. I've never dived into a differential, but my rear one has started to drip. I think it's just the gasket, but need to check it out more closely. So what happens when I take the cover...

    Odd gauge malfunction

    I've recently taken my 62 on several 2.5 hour trips. At some point--I usually notice about an hour or so in--the temp gauge and fuel gauge spike up to max. After 10-20 seconds they settle back down to the normal range. There doesn't seem to be any reason, like I hit the same hill on the trip...

    Antenna brands?

    Last year, some d-bag broke my auto antenna. I'm now getting around to fixing. I want to replace with an aftermarket flexible one. It doesn't have to pick up alien folk-rock hits from distant planets- just a nice 24 inches high or so will work-but I want quality. Oh, and one that I know fits...

    fuel filter washers

    You know the washers that go on the ends of the fuel lines into and out of the filter? I need some and can't seem to find the right ones. They seem pretty important too. With one missing (two?), I spray fuel everywhere.

    O2 sensors

    what happens if you dont replace a bad O2 sensor? i need to do mine, but haven't and now I get kind of a throaty sound and loss of power. I assume it's because the computer can't adjjust because it's not getting data from the sensor. I also hope I'm right and this problem goes away when I put...

    diagnostic question

    This might be a dumb question but in the sticky thread on reading diagnostic codes it says you need to jump the TE1 and E1 ports--why is that? I don't understand.

    Antenna

    I live in a very urban area, and a couple weeks ago some aging post-fraternity d***wad on his way between bars broke my antenna. My point? Would you guys recommend getting a good aftermarket antenna (if so, what do you like?), or sticking with the OEM electric one? I never use the electric.

    Reverse banging

    Sorry guys and gals, it's not anything salacious. It's the sound my 62 Cruiser's tranny makes. (Reverse banging tranny?...eh-hem.) Tranny is seemingly fine, but when I put it in reverse it's not a smooth transition. It hesitates for a split second then really bangs in hard. The fluid was a...

    62 brakes question

    I need some new rear brakes (something is sticking, squeels, got hot and has worn out.) Even with the service manual, I don't think I know enough about brakes. My local shop is quoting me $540. Shoes, wheel cylinders, and lower brake lines. The parts on that by my calculations come to about...

    Bed mats

    What are you guys using? I was going to get a Tuff liner from SOR, but I'm afraid it will be sticky. I like that things slide on the carpet when I'm loading and unloading, but I also want something I can pull out and hose off. I'm thinking about one of those hard rubber mats like they cover...
