    Altanator

    I thought I had alternator problems on my '87 fullsize Blazer. I took it off and had it "bench tested" at the local parts store. Ended up being a fusible link somewhere from the alternator. Although its always a pain removing an alternator, it did save some $$$.

    pics of Navajo mods/rollover

    ...thanks, but I don't need it. I don't even think its broken. I'll have to look at more closely, but I should be able to adjust (fold it out) it back into place. Was able to get the hood open with the help of a rubber mallet. Took the nerf bars off, front/rear bumper and the remains of the...

    pics of Navajo mods/rollover

    I am going to buy it back! They gave me $6185.00 - $500 deductable. It'll cost $1277 to buy it back. I figure it'll make a nice camp truck (where I use it most often anyways...) After looking at the pictures, I realize that the cap on the front window doesn't look to good - I'll never have...

    pics of Navajo mods/rollover

    Well, they decided to total it. I suppose there was some frame damage along with the body damage. It's not the best decision they could've come up with. I guess if you roll a vehicle and its pre-'95 they don't have many hesitations about considering it a total loss. I talked to a cousin who...

    body lift vs. suspension lift

    I've heard that body lift's are illegal here in the state of Maine. Well, maybe not necessarily illegal, but you can't have a "legitimate" inspection sticker with one. Which, in my case, makes a lift almost useless. However, a suspension lift will pass an inspection with no problem. Anybody...

    OK, my tranny is going to die...prepare me..

    ...put a "for sale" sign in the window - $6000. Take a $50 loss - the loss would be greater for what you would get for trade-in. Just my two cents worth....

    pics of Navajo mods/rollover

    I've finally taken pics of my Navajo. Mostly for insurance reasons. I rolled it last Wednesday, hit some black ice skidded sideways for 10 feet (hence the deflated tires, hit a snow embankment and rolled. Suffered mild concussion and bruises- ok now. Just waiting now to see what the...

    Where are the hubs... ?

    If you have the automatic hubs they will engage - automatically.

    Where are the hubs... ?

    Replacing the auto with manual hubs is a real easy job, it almost seems too easy. With the conversion kit you'll get three nuts. I opted to save $30.00 and used the Spicer conversion kit with the Warn hubs, have not experienced any trouble. The hardest things were removing the key from the...

    basic suspension questions

    Could I get some more information on the progressive spring, maybe a part number or something. If it's not to bad of a price I'll have them installed when the balljoints and bushings are done.

    basic suspension questions

    I currently have a Navajo with 31" BFG's and stock suspension. The ride seems sort of stiffer that what I'm used to. I was wondering what I could do (financially reasonable) to "loosen" the ride. I understand that shocks stiffen the ride? I don't do much off-roading, mostly 4x4 in snow and...

    Help weird noise on 92 exp

    The warn hubs work great! I made the conversion about two weeks ago. Saved a good thirty dollars by, instead of using the Warn conversion kit, using Spicer.

    What SUV would you have if you didn't have an explorer?

    ....NO - Pontiac Aztec - NO. What is that? A suv, a minivan, WHAT? - - - Definately a Navigator...Drove a friends...NICE...Would be afraid to get it dirty (what would be the point?). Outranked all SUV's in its class (except for my Navajo!). The XTERRA did awful, even looks funky.

    yet again, hubs

    Okay, Will the Warn replacement hubs, conversion kit attach to the five bolts on the rotor? I haven't taken anything apart yet until I get the hubs from Warn and I want to make sure I have everything I need. The spindle is fine. I've never replaced hubs before and the garage wants to charge...

    yet again, hubs

    Hey all, I'm awaiting the arrival of my Warn manual hubs/conversion kit. Any clue as to how to obtain the wheel hub? Preferebly an aftermarket part? Also, can't seem to find anyone who will check out my RABS warning light, Ford turned me away having a Navajo!
