    1991 non-electric seat swap driver for passenger?

    My 91 has 182xxx miles now and the drivers seat is showing it. The passenger seat in the other hand is in much better shape. Does anyone know if it's possible to swap the seats side to side? I don't care that the slide levers would be on the wrong side.

    My 91 has a burning issue. This week during a climbing trip to Utah that involved going up steep hills in 2nd gear at high rpm whenever we would get out white smoke would billow from the muffler area. After inspection it appears that oil is leaking out from between the motor and transmission...

    Steering column lengthening to move wheel closer?

    I have been driving and loving my 91 80 series for about year now. However something that has always bothered me about it is that the steering wheel seems too far away.

    I am about to get a shipment of new speakers for my 91. While I am in the doors I figure it would be a good time to add sound deading, probably damplifier from second skin, to the doors. From the searching that I have done it seems the consensis is to put the material on the outermost layer...

    Weak power steering

    When I bought my 91 it had a bad power steering pump. So I purchased a re-manufactured unit from my local carquest store. After looking at my FSM I have discovered that the effort required is more than the FSM states it should be. The FSM stated to only use ATF while the cap on the pump...

    3FE valve adjustment Issues

    I pulled the valve cover off for what I assume may have been the first time in the life of the truck and did all the gaps to factory specs. I could not for the life of me find the timing window so I pulled the number one spark plug and watched for the piston to reach TDC. Can anyone find a...

    Noticed this the other night in my 1991. If I pull up on the window switch while the windows are closed(checking too see if they are all the way up), all my lights in the vehicle get brighter. However the voltage drops.:hhmm: Does anyone else get this? or have I got something wrong?

    Has anyone done a "retro" paint job on an 80?

    I have a friend in auto body class that has to paint something. He and I were tossing the idea around of doing the top 6" or so of the 80 in white and the rest in red or blue. I have yet to see anyone do it, but you never know. Or does everyone think it would look stupid?
