i have said throttle body

Are you willing to get rid of said throttle body?

If not I might try the cleaning route, just never had to do it before.

[mudtoy67]

Why would I do that? I ride in the front seat, which has belts....

Because spooning is more difficult in a neck brace?

Discussion Point:

Earlier I was criticized about needing an anti-wrap bar. This was because of the blocks on the rear axle. I have wheeled it several times and not had a rear axle hop issue.

I have BDR's old lift axle wrap bars. Who think it is worth installing? Who thinks f' it, it seemed to drink, I mean run last time, run it as is?

don't those things hang super low?

Probably wouldnt last long on the rocks.

They can be mounted on top of the axle as well. I didn't have the room on my truck to do it that way, that's why they were mounted below the axle. Rusty uses these same bars on his blazer (the beater) and has them mounted inboard above the axle.

So Oct. 11th I will be in town for a foosball game. Can I grab it then?

[RCcola55]

ya, i wont be here but ill clean it up and tell sharpe to give it to you

[uglyota]

Karl are you really replacing your throttle body with a clean one instead of cleaning yours? Srsly? Get a can of brakleen and roll of paper towels and get after it

[KrazyKarl02]

I have already tried to clean it like that. It requires more than that, it is pretty well fubared. I have tried carb cleaner, then lube it with various penetrating oils. It just sucks

[Doug Krebs]

You need it sooner? I could grab it tonight and bring it tomorrow.

If you have time grab, if not I will get it in a week.

Picked the throttle body up on Sunday, thanks Clarke.

So here is what needs done:

1) Fix Brakes - the rear end is all new. The front TTB is so boofed, we'll just say it's there. I bought 6" lift lines, but after installing I have a leak, I think I must have missed a copper gasket.

2) Throttle Body - It has a tendency to stick about 3/4 open, makes life interesting. I need to pull one from a junk yard or if anyone in the club has one let me know.

3) Throttle Cable - Boofed from previous problem....

4) Tighten driver's seat. The bolts are loose

5) Radio - I need some tunes, I have a head unit, need some speakers, I might just duplicate the Boat stereo as it worked out well

6) Possibly mount Mike's old Bronco seat on the back....

7) It stumbles when punching the gas, any fuel injection guru's want to help? Fred, Flem? I'll buy beer.

8) On the trailer I need to check my bearings

9) Take brake controller from Death 250, install on Cheby

10) Look at fan shroud and tranny cooler, I have had some issues....

11) Load Cooler

* Throttle Body done
* Throttle Cable fixed
* Driver's seat done - The seat frame was cracked, had to weld it up
* Fan Shroud looks good
* Ran to issues on the power steering, fixed it here http://www.tamor.org/forums/showthre...856#post212856
* Wiring harness for Cheby should be in Saturday

* Got the radio in, put it in this weekend
* Check trailer bearings this weekend
