    Door lock actuators...I searched...no luck

    First off - hey everybody. Hope you are all well. Rolled my Ford X last year avoiding a speeding car on a two lane road , pretty much got crushed and got a helicopter ride to the trauma center. 23 broken bones. Been recuperating 9 months now. Never be the same again. Crushed my left arm and...

    Valve stem oil seals / rear main / oil usage questions.

    Hey gang - long time - no board. Hope everyone is well 190K miles, original engine. 1.) How much oil can you burn from old valve stem oil seals? 2.) No oil leaking while parked - nothing on driveway or in garage, but always oil around rear main / transmission. Front oil pump seal good, oil pan...

    Anyone have any good photos of the bottom the electrical connections on the bottom of a power seat. Drivers seat if you got it. I got to figure out the proper routing for the main connection on the seat bottom. Thanks all.

    Paging Landtank / Rick I need some help please!

    Rick this goes back to the 1st generation of seat rail extensions. I put them on years ago. Been some time ago but I went through about 6 Gamiviti gears trying to get the front drivers seat going again. Cracked everyone of them trying to force them in by bending the middle drive gear. Got sick...

    Update - If you installed seat rail extensions, you are

    f**ked when you need to replace seat gears. No wonder no one replied to my original post. It's basically impossible. First of all, it can't be done properly without total disassembly of the seat rails, including removing the extensions and all related hardware down to bare bones. It may have...

    Paging Landtank or RKIs re front seat gear repair with travel extension mod....

    Rick or others with the seat extension mod, I am trying to repair DS electronic seat control fore and aft with new Gamiviti gears. With the seat extension mod in place there is no easy way to get the worm screws out that I can see without total seat disassembly. It's basically adjust for max...

    Nuts on rear O2 sensors for 96 -97 are 12mm. Just in case anyone...

    needs to know. I searched before I started replacement because I couldn't remember nut size. People are making way too big a deal on the rear O2 replacement. Use a long thin wall 12mm or 13mm socket to remove and replace. Catch. My truck has no rust or corrosion on anything under the body. Your...

    What did I miss here???? Seat gear replacement.

    http://gamiviti.com/images/cap_gear/cap_gear_installation.pdf He has all the worm gears out and such in his illustration of parts and tools. Am I missing something? I didn't take the worm gears out. Just the bolt ends on the worm drives, the rear plastic retainers and the worn out drive gear...

    Uh-Oh Little White Seat Cap

    Hey guys ( girls ) long time no post. Getting older and decreasing health. I won't get into specifics, but it really does suck getting old. Love life while you are young is all I can say. Same old familiar story with the little white seat seat caps. The de-flared 80 my wife drives and will not...

    WOW! What happened to the site + sunroof

    Haven't been by in a while. Good thing or bad thing? Anybody ever do the sunroof repair on their own? Down in the rear DS corner. Good thing all the drains are clear. I'm thinking an excellent upholstry shop that does all kinds of stuff could do that one easy. Me - no. Site looks hot! Good job...

    Looking for real LC mechanic in East or Central TN

    I need some work done that my old hands won't handle any more. I'm thinking about a total engine rebuild and TRD Supercharger install. Nothing wrong with it, just want to supercharge the engine and go ahead with a rebuild or a long block swap. Any suggestions welcome, but they are gonna have to...

    To TRD supercharge or not...

    Rear upper hatch won't open.....

    I've been through search and found some various part numbers for the little plastic things that make everything open and connect. It's too cold right now to tear everything apart to get a look at it. I don't want to break interior trim / fasteners, etc. The upper hatch release was working...

    Rear Hatch not opening?

    I recently had all the trim out to get it ready for paint. I took the whole linkage apart and put it back together. Hatch will still open from inside but not from outside. Failed on a miserable ice covered morning. Main hatch mechanisim or the little rod connector? Just thought I would...

    Koyo C1917 installed - mod on hidden bolt

    New three row copper core Koyo C1917 successfully installed. New OEM hoses and Breeze clamps from AJIK. I will not take credit for this mod. A radiator shop guru came up with this one. I hope it's a long time before I have to use it, but I thought this was pretty slick for the PS " hidden bolt...

    O2 Sensor Advice to anyone who has NOT

    replaced O2 sensors. I dicked around forever and just figured " screw it ", but I would suggest not going that route. A stealership billed my wife for a set back around 40K miles when I was working out of town for two years. If they replaced them, I'm the tooth fairy. BS. They had never...

    Caster correction update

    Took 2* OME's out of PS yesterday and put Slee 3* ones in. 12 ton press from Northern tool modded with grade 8 hardware worked fine, but I wasn't pressing OEM beshings out. The OME's popped right out and can be reused easy. Had to start the Slee 3* with a brass drift and BAH. Slee install /...
