Re: 2.9L Valve covers?

I thought for sure LMC truck had some, but I just looked and didn't see anything. That's a good question, but you are probably right. Junkyard would be an easy cheap solution. I never had to replace one, but mine were old and rusty, so when I took them off I took them to a local CarQuest that had a ...

Re: Any east tn members?

I've got a repair manual at home I can look through to see if it has a photo or something. I'll do my best to remember to do that.

Having some transmission problems right now though, and the other day I blew a h...

Re: A4LD Transmission high rpm's before shifting

Thanks Tek...yea, I know nothing about transmissions so I'm feeling pretty clueless about it. I just know pulling it sounds like a ton of work. Those tests for the vac modulator are easily accessible? But I'm guessing if I determined the modulator was bad, then getting to the part itself is not easy...

Re: Help, oil pump

Oil pump is inside the oil pan. Pretty difficult to get to. Valve covers are pretty common leak areas. One method is to get the engine cleaned up as good as you can, so you can tell better where the leaks are coming from. Either way its not going to be a quick fix especially if you dont have much ex...

A4LD Transmission high rpm's before shifting

Hey guys...got an 87 BII 2.9L 4WD with the A4LD transmission.....past couple weeks or so, it's been slow to shift gears, rpm's going up to about 4000 and hanging sometimes for several seconds before it kicks into the next gear. From what I can tell I think it's happening going from 3rd into 4th...bu...

Re: Roof insulation material...

Hey guys....ended up going with that EZ cool insulation. It was super easy to install, just need some scissors and 3M spray.....measure, cut, spray and done. When I took the old insulation out, closing the door echo'ed like a metal grand canyon. After I installed this stuff, it sounds really solid n...
