    Coolant not coming to temp after heater core bypass

    It’s funny how I seem to find answers after I make a post. I believe that my thermostat may be a fail safe stat. If that’s the case, is it possible that it has failed open due to my overheating this morning?

    Coolant not coming to temp after heater core bypass

    All, This morning on my way to work, one of the plastic pipes for the heater core broke at the firewall. I was able to bypass with a socket to get close enough to an auto parts store. Currently, the HC is still bypassed but with a 1/2" to 3/4" hose adapter. For the life of me, I cannot get...

    Front Track Bar - Frame Side Measurement

    You are both correct; this picture is only for reference to the measurements I need. Long story short - I have a double sheer mount (Barnes) that is 3.5" from bottom of frame. Because of this, I have bump steer and need to rework the frame mount. I just want to confirm my geometry estimates...

    Front Track Bar - Frame Side Measurement

    I need someone to take two quick measurements for me. Can you please measure from the frame to the bottom of the trackbar mount? Can you also measure to the mid-point of your track bar end? Greatly appreciated! See attached picture.

    Front Track Bar Heim Joint Replacement

    Did you ever figure out which track bar this was and/or what spec you needed for the heim?

    Track bar mount cracked, also cracked at frame

    I’ll say I talked to Blaine about this today and he seemed fairly confident that I could fix both the cracks, weld on some 1/4” plate to both sides and then grind out, clean up and reweld the bracket back to the frame. He also suggested a cross support from the bracket to the inside of the...

    Track bar mount cracked, also cracked at frame

    Trying to figure out my options. Wondering if it’s more cost effective to just cut this out, fix the frame and weld in a double shear mount (Barnes). I already have an adjustable track bar with a heim. Not sure if this changes height/angle/placement of The track bar end though. Any thoughts?

    Track bar mount cracked, also cracked at frame

    I just scoped the frame and the bracket is definitely pulling away the frame.

    Track bar mount cracked, also cracked at frame

    Been having some DW. Was trying to identify my track bar to rebuild when I realized that the mount bracket is cracked and the welds to the frame are cracked as well. Does this need to come off completely, or can I get by with welding all the cracks. I’ve seen other posts where @mrblaine has...

    Rough idle at start-up and during idle for a few minutes

    Between now and the original post, I have also replaced a few vacuum fittings along with my upstream O2s. I have two downstreams coming in along with a new CPS. I also replaced my fuel pump yesterday with a new Bosch unit. My original issue of idle dropping disappeared for a little while. I...

    Rough idle at start-up and during idle for a few minutes

    They’re definitely getting fuel. Seems to be running better but I need to check it after a longer drive to see if the issue is fixed or not
