    Cheapest Al. Drive shaft?

    If you do buy new, make sure you research who has the better deal once you include shipping. I broke a U-joint on my stock driveshaft, and needed the new driveshaft right away. I got next day delivery from Jegs, for $11. LRS wanted nearly $50 for 2nd day delivery! Their $13 UPS ground...

    3g upgrade... PA Performance?

    No. You are only doubling the ABILITY of the motor (alternator) to produce electrical power. The alternator only puts out as much current as is being demanded at the time. If you have no accessories turned on, your alternator might only be putting out a few amps to run the computer and charge...

    3g upgrade... PA Performance?

    It should be good enough. 100 amps (idle) is good for up to 1400 watts of power. You might be a little bit in the hole if you have your electric fan, HVAC fan running, and all your lights on. Yes, your alternator will take more power from the motor. There is no free electricity. The more...

    3g upgrade... PA Performance?

    You might want to step up to a 200 amp alternator, and a 2 ga. power wire. :shrug: It's not a question of what the alternator's rated output is, it's a question of what it can put out at low rpms. At idle the alternator will only be able to put out about half of what it's rated for, and it...

    What gears do I have?

    That's just it. I think he's saying he was running in D, not OD. To get 2100 rpm at 55 mph, in OD, with his tires, he'd have to have a 4.35 rear gear ratio.

    Replacing rear axle this weekend, have a few ?s

    You'll need a new axle bearing seal, since you'll ruin the old one getting it out. For the rear bearings, you need a slide hammer with a bearing puller on it. You can "borrow" one from an AutoZone or Advance Auto if you can give them a deposit for it. The axle seals can be pried out with...

    Hard Ride

    Do you have Z-rated (or higher) tires on it? If you do, you could go down to H-rated tires, or even touring tires if you aren't going to run it fast. The thinner sidewalls will soften the ride.

    What gears do I have?

    Ooooops... I think I misread your post. You said the the RPM was with your AOD in "DRIVE", not "OVERDRIVE", correct? If it's in 3rd gear (1.00 : 1 ratio), then I calculate a gear ratio of 2.73 if your at 2000 rpm, and 3.08 if your at 2200 rpm. Both sound more plausible than 4.10s. 1992...

    What gears do I have?

    Your speed vs. RPM sounds like you have 4.10 gears, but we can't be sure your speedometer is accurate. You can't even that your tach is accurate -- they have been known to be way off from the factory. The surest way is to do what Roland69 suggests. Only, you should mark the wheel and...

    replaced heater core.......already leaking.

    Handle the new heater core carefully when installing it. Many people have ruined perfectly good heater cores during the installation, usually trying to muscle them into place, or when putting on the hoses. You'd think a new core would stand up to a little abuse, but they don't. Rough handling...

    Brake Light: Do I need a lens or the whole asembly?

    Remove the light assembly and look at it. Take out he rear interior trim , remove the bulb assemblies, and remove the nuts (6 of them) that hold the taillight assembly in. Remove the lens and inspect the housing. If you need the whole taillight, good luck finding new OEM ones. The...

    changing starter

    Get as many different length extensions as you can. A universal swivel and/or wobble extension might help as well. You'll need to figure out what combination of extensions works for you (I think I used an 8", a 3", and a universal for one of the bolts). Be patient, as you might only be able...

    hwy mileage

    Don't let the anecdotal evidence fool you. Few people with 3.73 gears get their speedometers/odometers to be accurate after the gear swap. The error shows more miles driven than what's true, therefore the MPG calculation is off. My buddy's '89 LX has 3.73s and the correct speedometer gear...

    3g alternator pulley

    Pulley size is the diameter of the pulley at the top of the ridges, not at the outside flange. You can measure the diameter of the flange, subtract 1/4", and that'll get you close. The stock 94 - 95, 3G alternator pulley is about 53mm (approx. 2 1/8 inches) in diameter. The pulleys that...

    3g alternator pulley

    It's my understanding that the 2G pulley won't work on a 3G alternator unless you put a spacer behind it. You can use the pulley that came with the 3G (which is slightly larger than the 2G pulley). You may need to use the next longer serpentine belt. Or you can by a smaller pulley for the...
