A well used 1989 FSM (the good one)
A Chiltons manual good for starting a camp fire
A COMPLETE printout, sorted in a binder and in protective sleeves, of the parts microfiche
What is Wrong
Blows code 71. I think I have replaced “everything possible” – still think it is the VSV, but haven’t bought a new one. Every time I go through the FSM procedure I get stumped.
Alignment is good, but the steering wheel is a bit “off” due to steering box replacement
Gas mileage – I am getting about 16 mph on the highway, but it is hard to pin it down exactly without a GPS due to the larger tires.
There was a small (and I mean small – size of eraser head) rust spot in the passenger side rear window. I had a pro body shop remove all traces and touch up.
AC – I have a new drier, but there isn’t ANY Freon in the system. You will need to get it recharged.
Paint – Clear coat is fading on the rear driver side. Some scratches in the roof.
What it Needs
Long Rang Gas Tank
Rear tire carrier
WINCH
Lights on the ARB bull bar
Roof Rack
CB
=====
I love this truck, but my day job is now requiring more traveling to Southern Oregon (about a 500 mile roundtrip) and I need a commuter. I have never wheeled it, nor had the prior owner.
Truck is in Salem, Oregon - I can get away to show it anytime.
Shoot me an email and I will get right back to you with my phone number.
Thanks,
Mike
