So, got a few things accomplished today. Replaced the rear window struts with new ones. No more headaches (from that anyway).
Also, removed the very old and heat damaged carpet, seat belts and backseat hardware from the rear area. Once that is all cleaned up, I will repaint and look at my options.
Found the my thermostat was not stuck open...it was simply not there. Installed a new housing, gasket and thermostat. Now, the engine heats up properly and I have a little bit of heat but not much.
Put a screwdriver on to the fuel Injectors to listen for the clicking sounds. All but 3&4 are strong sounding. 3&4 are clicking but not at the same intensity.
Took it for a drive. The new tires feel a lot different than the street tires. I had aired them down to 26 psi. When I got out to the chip seal road and up to speed, they felt a bit squirrelly. I even stopped to check the lug nuts thinking I hadn’t tightened one of the wheels. All good though.
When I got back to our property, I shifted into 4 wd high and headed out into the pasture. No issues there, shifted into 4 wd low and climbed one of the steeper sections of pasture and it walked right up.
Sure will be nice when I get all six cylinders firing properly.
Ordered all new O2 sensors and a fuel injector tester. We leave for N Virginia on Wednesday.
