That's all well and good, Larry, but "forthcoming" isn't good enough. I need pics... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Glad to hear she's on the ground and running... On the overdrive, I could swear I remember plugging in the wire for it, but might not be a bad idea to check on that. I was playing with the routing on the O2 sensor and might have unplugged it... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />


Did you figure out your fan issue?

Patience, Jon...

I'll check that Brendan, thanks. Main cooling fan works great. The trans cooler fan will go on after I weld the cooler bracket on and mount the cooler.

Just got a call from my alignment guy that it's done. So, I can strike that from the list...

If that's not it.. maybe the temp sensors on that Tstat housing are reversed? Not like that was confusing or anything. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I'd ground out the trans one just temporarily just in case.

Yeah. We had pictures, but I think that those just further confused us...

I'll check the connection at the trans and if that doesn't work, then I'll ground the wire to see...

WOW SWEET rebuid!!! Nice photos of the whole process!! Way to go! Georgia style!

Terry! are you in gainesville, or still on the ski slopes? pm me and I'll send you my cell and we can get together. I like in Oakwood now.

Tried to call the cell number I have for you. It no worky. PM me your new cell so I can call you. Lisa and I are thinking about doing a shakedown run on my truck this weekend. May do a couple scenic trails. Likely Sunday as that's my only day off this weekend...

Thanks for the compliment, Terry <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


EDIT: Oh yeah, I got O/D working by grounding the wire. May just leave it that way, as the switch looks rather useless. If I'm reading it right, all it does is block O/D until coolant temp gets to 122*. Which is about a minute of driving.

Whats the status on this project? Is it done or at least to the point it can be at URE in the Spring? I went through every post to see all the work done again. All the parts you got and it was less than $800? Thats very impressive. I hope my timing belt project is much simplar than this.

Damn, I've been real slack at finishing this thread up. Hate it when people leave me hangin...

Yeah, it's done. Runs like a top. Put 35x12.50R15 BFG KM2's on 15x8 Satin Black steel wheels with 3.5" BS. I have a couple thousand miles on it so far. It was uneventful until I hit a deer in the middle of the night coming back from winning a chili cook-off at a friend's house. Folded the driver's fender down onto the tire, almost stopping it at 50mph. Miraculously, it didn't cut it or flat-spot it. The impact shorted out some wires that started a small fire. I got stopped, put it out, rigged the wiring back up so I could get the family home. It sat for a couple weeks while I gathered parts. Russell and MarkG helped me with those (thanks a ton guys!)

Then, my daughters car shat the bed. And she told me her and her husband were expecting. July 26th is the due date. So, my rig took the back burner while I overhauled some of the systems on the 93 Accord I bought her as a college grad present. Can't have my first grandkid stranded with a broked!ck car. That ate up a couple weeks.

Last Monday, I was off work. It had already snowed a heap, then sleeted on top of that. So, if I was going to be mobile in the mess to come, I had to get her back roadworthy. And I did. Fabbed up a couple brackets to more solidly mount the Taurus fan. Did the body work. Tidied up some electrical and vroom-vroom. She performed flawlessly thru all the snow, ice and rain. It was alot of fun to be back on the road again. I'll get some current pictures added soon. I'll also document the brackets I made for mounting the fan, in case anybody's interested in having me make some more.

As far as URE goes, I've had schedule or financial conflicts come up everytime I've planned on attending. So, I ain't saying nuthin right now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
