I bought mine because a buddy wanted my previous 80. I had never owned a 100 so I figured it would be a good replacement to for the 80. So far I like it but there is a lot of difference in the two.
So I've got some odd things going on with my 2002. History, purchased it bone stock almost a year ago with no issues. Since then I've added OME 2.5" Heavy kit with SPC upper control arms, Slee diff drop bracket and wheels/tires. Everything was fine for a while with no issues. Took it on a couple...
I hadn't even though about doing that.
That's what I'm thinking.... I have new upper and lower control arms for the rear axle already. So those will be replaced soon. With all that disconnected there really isn't much left to unhook and then swap in a complete axle. To really clean this one up...
From my limited understanding of the 100 series platform it is the dust shield. Specifically called a backing plate and part number 4650360100. Looking online about the cheapest I can find it is $360ish. My thought process was.... why spend almost $400 on one part when the rest of the axle...
The axle housing along with most of the components are in terrible condition. Was wheeling this weekend and a rock hit the parking brake mechanism and broke through it as shown. The rig does have some other rust but the rear axle is the worst part. Debated on cleaning it up but afraid that once...
I've got a 2002 that I'm debating on replacing the rear axle. What years will work for the swap? I'm assuming any non locked 98-02 because of the changes that came in 2003 but wanted to ask first.
Long story short I replaced the entire exhaust. I'm getting some resonance and/or slight vibration at a certain RPM and engine load. My original muffler didn't have the weight on it so I couldn't transfer it to the new one. Anyone have the part number for it?
So the light did come back on. I pulled the intake off and cleaned the throttle body really good. It was fairly dirty. I pulled the connections loose and reseated them. The light is back off now but I'm not sure if this solved the issue yet. If it doesn't I guess I'll go back to looking at...
So this is my first 100... take it easy on me. Recently just purchased a 2002 with 156k and don't have too much info on it's history. Drove it about 1,000 miles with no issues. Went to start it and the CEL was on along with VSC TRAC and VSC OFF. I drove it about 30 miles or so with the lights on...
