    Aroubd the world in an 80

    Keep forging ahead! As I read the blog, I wonder if I have the mental aptitude to survive just the heat, let alone all the other obstacles along the way. This is a great reminder of higher things to achieve.

    Do you trust your 80 for travel?

    I trust my cruiser and finished a 2000 plus miles trip from los angeles, CA to sunriver, OR roundtrip. We had a few check engine lights in the past and the headgasket was replaced, but so far it has always got us home. We take several trips to mammoth, 300 plus miles trip, every year. It is...

    buy oe-aftermarket radiator cracked

    Brian, Thanks for the info! This will make things much more smooth. I have done most of the preventive stuff already since the hg replacement and before. But I think I should do the a/c pulley and replace my aftermarket alternator belts with oe belts since I am there. Thanks TL

    buy oe-aftermarket radiator cracked

    Well, my radiator was replaced just 3 years ago when I bought the cruiser and I thought that would be the last of my worries. I have put about 50k on her since then. But I sprung a leak along the top edge of the radiator-cracks 2-3 small, 1/4 inch cracks. I have thought of using jb weld but...

    Head Gasket? R these BAD? Installer Near Denver?

    looks good, but I won't and didn't do it. why second guess something that takes about 20hrs of labor... call cdan! I don't have references for CO, but the labor rate for my hg replacement was around what you are willing to spend for the repair, but alas I am in CA.

    hg repair done! mechanic endorsement

    My headgasket blew at 173,000 miles luckily just after a 300 mile trip from mammoth. The cruiser did not overheat, upon returning from the trip it started to idle roughly and later in the night the tail pipe was smoking white.
