16K miles after my full engine rebuild, my Cruiser blew its headgasket. It had all the classic signs slowly starting to build (spikes in temperature, rough running, slow loss of coolant) however I wanted to ignore the warning signs. Last night after dinner, the Cruiser had a very hard start...
I've got some mild vibration at 45 to 52mph from the rear of the truck. I pulled the rear driveshaft to verify and I've got a DC front driveshaft.
To correct pinion angle, it appears I have several options:
Install adjustable upper control arms. Rotate the top of the axle forward for proper...
My engine was rebuilt in the fall of 2021 and I installed a supercharger in the fall of 2022.
After installing the supercharger, normal operation has been great however under WOT the transmission shifts at 3400 rpm (PWR not engaged).
I've adjusted the throttle cable (kickdown) based on...
I'm posting here for awareness.

Hello everyone,
As many of you might already know, @forrest5000 is currently undergoing cancer treatment. Because...
I recently installed a supercharger on my 80. I knew ahead of time that there was potential the fan could hit the radiator or shroud and make for a bad day. I added 1/2" spacers (12.73mm) behind the fan to space it away from the engine to clear the pulleys and belts. Supercharger was...
UPDATE: The engine stuttering/hiccupping was actually the transmission cancelling lockup. The fix was to adjust the brake sensor switch.
Driving home from a camping trip in September, I noticed my engine started to stutter and hiccup at approximately 70mph after driving for 10 to 15 miles. I...
What size tires are you running on your Cruiser and is it a daily driver, weekend wheeler, dedicated trail rig, or something else.
While I would like to take mine offroad more often, 95% of the time it's used around town with brief trips to the beach, trails, or mountains. 37" tires would...
So hear me out guys before you skewer me for not searching.
I'm looking for a 100/LX. I've been on the forums forever in the 80 series section. I've done dual battery, custom drawers, several suspension system setups, DIY roof rack, and a metric ton of maintenance. Currently the 80 is down...
I've posted some sample photos in the Relic Run thread but thought I would make a new post for more attention.
Sample photos are copied and pasted to MUD but MUD compresses and optimizes the image when attaching to the thread. Linking each picture is incredibly time consuming so browsing Flickr...
Previously I was running 3" Flexicoils front and 4" Flexicoils rear. The Flexicoils were great until I started adding weight to the truck. Dual battery, full fridge, spare tire, family of 4, and misc camping gear/tools and the Flexicoils started riding low and wallowing quite a bit. The 4"...
For about a year now, my ABS light has been on and my brake pedal feel has been a little soft. It's been one of those I've been meaning to get to it. A buddy and myself hit the trails last Wednesday and in a bit of a steep situation I had to stop to make another run with a little bump to get...
After driving in a rainstorm on a moonless night with oncoming traffic on a two lane country road, I realized my headlights were overdue for an upgrade. I seriously couldn't see s**t. I checked with the CFO before making a purchase. Once approved I checked ebay for Depo headlights. Neondials...
My 3 year old @DobinsonsUSA 30mm rear spring spacer has ripped. This was used to correct the common driver's side lean on the 80 series. I was in the process of installing a @Delta VS panhard bracket and had to remove the spring to get the control arm bolt out. When the spring was removed...
Carolina Beach placing several restrictions on Freeman Park passes, no more day passes offered
Erosion and high tides have led to the town placing several restrictions on visiting Freeman Park...
A week and a half ago coming home from a friends house, the Cruiser suddenly died on me when I made a right hand turn. There was no stuttering or anything. I rolled to a stop and tried to start it again. It cranks but never fires. It was dark and I couldn't see that well. I called AAA and...
For about 5 years, I used a cheap Duralast battery that the previous owner installed in the truck. Last year I replaced it with an interstate from Costco. Just a few months ago, I came out to find a dead truck and a battery reading 2V. Costco swapped it out for $8 (price difference between...
Carolina Driveline in Spartanburg SC is building a DC driveshaft for my LC. Is there anyone coming to the Christmas party from the area that could swing by Caroline Driveline and pickup the driveshaft? I've posted this in Upstate Cruisers but haven't received any responses.
Thanks,
Jonathan
