    PS Pump Pulley Nut

    Thanks all. Went with a large pair of channel locks with sharp teeth. Found it more effective to grip down on the weld on the back of the pulley rather than the smooth machine surface. The weld, with its irregularity, provided a a pretty positive grip. That, along with PB Blaster, and it came...

    PS Pump Pulley Nut

    This is regarding a '92 3FE. I have PB Blasted the Nut on the PS Pump but have been unsuccessful in removing it. The Manual suggests holding back on it by pressing down the belt but to no avail. That was after cleaning the pulley surface real well but it still slips. I busted my belt wrench...

    Rain leak into cabin

    Leak from dust cover Soggy Just pulled my right dust cover off. You have to negotiate around the air-bug shield that pops up when you open the skylight but should be easy to locate the phillips screw and dust cover underneath the right side of the shield. It's, of course, the same for the left...

    Rain leak into cabin

    Soggy This was the first problem that I addressed when I landed my 80 last winter. It gets pretty wet here in So. Oregon at that time and I noticed "soggy" carpets after hard rains. I researched this forum and went through the all of the suggested problem areas (drains, windshield etc.)...

    Rain leak into cabin

    If you are leaking down the "a pillar", with the headliner becoming soaked around the upper part of the pillar and water pooling on the floor you might check this: There are two plastic dust cover plates (front left and right) that protect the cables that operate the sunroof. They are held in...

    No Joy in Mudville...vibration continues

    Jon, I've been so focused on the driveline that I completely forgot that it might be the engine that vibrates! I can't check it right now because it's a bit torn apart but as soon as I get it going I'll rev her up to 3200 in neutral. Thanks for the tip. Retro, thanks for the info. I'll be in...

    No Joy in Mudville...vibration continues

    Sorry, guess I wasn't clear. It's a vibration that occurs at 3200 rpm as I accelerate through the gears. I notice it most in third because I pull a long steep grade just about every day and when I hit around 60 mph it vibrates. The grade is not a factor. It does the same thing in the flats. In...

    No Joy in Mudville...vibration continues

    No vibration in neutral when coasting downhill at any speed. The same vibration is showing up in every gear (auto transmission) at the same rpm (3200). Would you know how to isolate such a problem?

    No Joy in Mudville...vibration continues

    Since my last post on this topic, I have pulled both drive shafts (one at a time) and my vibration persists. Am now in the process of checking my front wheel bearings. My question: If the vibration shows up at 3200 rpm in every gear (it's a serious vibration...not enough to rattle my teeth, but...

    To Phase or not to Phase

    Wow! :DJust went for a test drive without the front shaft and the vibration has been reduced by about 75 to 80 percent. This is encouraging for someone minimally skilled as a mechanic. I can't really feel any play in the u-joints, but will probably replace them since I have the shaft out. I'll...

    To Phase or not to Phase

    I finally got around to pulling the front drive shaft to try to address my vibration issue. The vibration is most notable in third gear at 3K rpm and increases in frequency as I accelerate. It's a very dramatic vibration. Yesterday, after reading several posts on phasing of the flanges, I...

    How Does Cruise Control Keep You From Going Too Fast Downhill?

    Gator made a good point and gets to the heart of an issue I've been thinking about...and I quote..." that it (the CC) simply modulates the accelerator, and when the set speed is exceeded (or engine power is no longer necessary) it basically closes the throttle plate as if you simply didn't have...
