Where are all the Virginia Explorers??

[explrths]

when are you off again, i might want you to look at this thing. Those camber adjusters, are there 2 or 4?

 

[explrths]

Well, i looked everything over, jacked it up, pushed pulled. everything seemed to be tight and solid. I did notice that when i spun the driver wheel, i got alittle click, im thinking the cv is going bad

As far as the portsmouth spot, you talking about Jolliff road across from Cosmos, hicentrd used to go out there alot.

No the place I am refering to is behind St Julians Creek Annex just down the road from Norfolk Naval Shipyard. There is an Alcoa plant right next to it between the backside of St J's and the plant. I havent been out there in a very long time.

Get another toy!!! theres a BII 4x4 sitting on North Landing for $800 :

 

[Josh]

I was looking at that. I wonder what kind of shape its in. Do BII's get crappy gas milage to?

 

[boominXplorer]

If its a 5 speed its a good deal, I havent really looked at it. If not your stuck again with the AL4D and I know you know how that goes.

 

[Josh]

Well for some reason my tranny is behaving. I think a combination of low fluid and wrong fluid(Merc5?) maybe the cause. I think the A4LD is supposed to use Dextron III. I guess I should look that up

Man, i havent been getting home until after 5 lately, ive been out in suffolk doing a remodel. What do u work on sat? Anyways the steering is getting pretty stiff. I am now thinking either pump or i somehow got something into the rack/pinion.

 

[Josh]

I wonder if you put the frontend in the air and turn the wheel slow with the motor off if you would feel any binding. Might need to remove the filler cap because it squirt all over the place if not. This may sound stupid, but you did check your fluid right? On the other hand I had a rental once that when you let off the gas to idle the power steering would go away. Almost drove into a fence trying to make a u-turn

 

[explrths]

ya, i chesced the fluid. it was kinda dark, i just had it changed about 6 months ago. i did jack it up and pushed the wheels left and right by hand, i could feel it bind. i will try it with the motor off. thanks

 

[Josh]

I think there was a 2nd gen out there at U-Pull-It. I was just out there a few days ago.

 

[explrths]

when it comes to steering stuff i am kinda nervous about junk yard parts. I got under it again today while it was on the ground. The tierods didnt budge ball joints looked good and snug, the pass half shaft had alittle play in and out, very little. the driver side had just a touch more. I guess ill have to pull the wheel and start checking stuff. I am starting to lean toward a binding cv joint though. It is one of 2 things left i havent changed yet.

 

[Josh]

I have a junkyard steering box in mine. But I can understand the concern.

 

[explrths]

Well, since im off tomorrow, i will be pulling the front end apart. any one want to help?

Boomin, i got tat money, i just need to get up with you!!!
