    Well I didn’t stop working on her I guess I just stopped posting. Life for hard and took the some of fun out of it. It turned into work instead of joy. I have her running and driving as good as I think it can be and I have her for sale. I’m amazed at how many people just come look at it...

    Speedo and Tach are wrong

    I’m using a Code reader deal that shows live data, temps, rpm, mph, and so on. I will check the sizes of the two pulleys on the alternator, I swapped the pulleys on the tensioner from the larger one to the smaller one. It’s a miracle I go that done on my way to work this morning while turning...

    Speedo and Tach are wrong

    I’m sorry I am still getting used to the LR way of anything can affect anything. Stock 16” wheels and tires, I know I need a slight lift and bigger wheels and tires and your right. Speedo is off 8-10 mph, Tach is off 350-500 rpm. I changed the wheel and bearing in the tensioner pulley...

    Speedo and Tach are wrong

    1998 D1 85k gas v-8. Plugged in the Code reader and my tach and Speedo are both off, I read that the alternator has a lot to do with the tach so I made sure the white wire was plugged correctly into the alternator which is 3 months old from RoverFarm. Any ideas why they would be off? I can’t...

    Arkansas Disco Revival

    So I took a break from posting but not from the constant messin with the car. Some of the fun has left because the more is no light at the end of the tunnel and the necessity of driving longer distances for work is increasing. With every step forward I take two back, I have heard that...

    What in the hell am I doing? That wasn’t really a question more a scream, dog has done gone to sleep guarding the garage as if anyone but my dumb a** is outside in the cold acting like they know what they are doing. Trevor at RovahFarm did his part, now I just wish I had someone here that knew...

    Arkansas Disco Revival

    As I sat at work thinking about my car like most 16 year olds, oh wait I’m a grown up. Anyway sitting at work I was wondering how I could not just get that castle nut off the rear ball joint I had this feeling of anger come over me, and as I avoided all work and most people I realized I can...

    Arkansas Disco Revival

    So true, but none of the shiny tools helped me with the castle nut on the rear ball joint. I’m about to get real redneck with the welder and make something to get that dude off. That last part sounds different than I mean it.

    Arkansas Disco Revival

    Re-energized and it didn’t take much! While pulling the jump seats out of the black one I grabbed the blue plug wires so check the resistance in them and the ones on my green one. The new ones I had on til last night were garbage, Accel brand I think, 8 mm high temp whatever. Everyone...

    Bit of a heat wave yes sir, which means I can’t wear my blue furry necked onesie to “neck” up the neighborhood so I set up the wooden person shaped target and let my son throw knives at it. Child rearing 101 for sure, so as far as the Discovery I got the the bolts for the back A arms sprayed...

    Arkansas Disco Revival

    That sounds exactly like something that would happen around here. It’s 7 am and she has asked two times “are you coming home like inside the house tonight or spending it in the garage with your girlfriend?” All I could say was “how do you know it’s a she?” On the way home I did notice...
