My 1008 was my daily driver for about 6 years, I've never tracked the mileage but when I got it had about45,000 mi on it and now has 112,000. It didn't take me long before I swapped out the TH400 for a TH700R4 and a little bigger tires!
Does anyone know the bolt size of the large "anchor" bolts that attach the seat belts to the floor?
IIRC 3/4 or possibly 7/8
What about the size of the 4 bench seat bolts? 3/8"
In the future when the fuel lines are dry try this This works best with a helper, a rag, compressor and blow gun. Remove the fuel cap and insert the blow gun into the filler neck and use the rag to seal it (you won't get a complete seal but don't worry) then pressurize the system a little, as...
Is it hard to start when the engine is cold even when using the GP? Reason I ask is it kinda sounds like a weak fuel lift pump, that provides fuel to the IP at pressure. The IP does suck some fuel and if in good shape an engine could run on just the IP or so I've heard. Or it could be as simple...
Sounds like the starter solenoid to me too, possibly intermittent and it might test fine and be fine UNTIL it isn't! That will be when you don't have any tools with you or your by yourself out of cell service and it's -10* do yourself a favor and have it checked out by someone that knows what...
I replaced a few over the years, I've had good luck with NAPA bushings in the rear. Fronts I don't remember where I got them (probably NAPA) and aree a bit more difficult.
No, the heater just dosn't have the power to do that (1500 watts IIRC) Years ago I used to plug in a civvie truck when I got home at night and left it plugged in sometimes all weekend with no problems.
In the past I bought a rebuilt alt and it came with a larger pully/fan, on that particular vehicle it didn't make a differance but could some one in the past have done that? It's not that big of a deal just take the belt back and ask for one 1" larger, 1" is a lot on belts!
Yes they do fit, I know this for a fact. On some of the early years the seat back is just a bit taller and it may hit the rifle mounts, the bigger problem is that on the 70s modles the seat belts came up thru the gap between the bottom and the back instead of having the plastic grommit thru the...
If you don't want to buy the gun talk to the guys at auto paint supply, they sell the stuff and the guns but also may still have one the salesmen use for promotion you might be able to use the for a deposit and the cost of the adhesive. If that fails they could probably steer you to a small shop...
