Title: Back in the fold
Post by: Digger on January 18, 2011, 08:21:26 PM: Well, after a longish break from zukis, I find myself back again. My g/f's van munched the tranny and rather than fix it, we decided we needed to replace it. We just got back from a 2-1/2 hour road trip into West Virginia to pick up a 95 Tracker LSI ex-motorhome pusher. I'll get a pic or two tomorrow in the light. It's in really nice shape, the nicest one I've ever had, not counting the X-90, and I was really happy with the deal. So I guess I will be lurking around here again more regularly now...

G/F says she doesn't want me to mod it at all, she says she likes it just the way it is... I wonder how long THAT will last! LOL!

YIKES!!!!! What the hell are they doing with all that oil shale? Probably selling it to China, then importing oil to refine into gasoline :o

Post by: Digger on February 07, 2011, 10:09:07 PM: Well, the other day I tried to drive it to work. It started having a miss under 2500rpm that would go away above that, so I just kept it revved a little higher. I was worried that it might suffer from the dreaded "loose timing pulley bolt" syndrome with a wallowed-out keyway on the crank. Then the next trip, the rusted exhaust seemed to get a little quieter and the miss was there no matter what rpm. I barely made it home, but I was relieved for sure. Tonight I cut a hole in the exhaust pipe right in front of the Cat, and though it was loud, the miss was gone. I guess the cat decided to clog itself off.

No big deal though, I still have the parts rig from Zig and it still has a stock 16v exhaust in good shape in it, so I will just swap it over...
