Lookin under my camo-stro, getting ready to lift. The stock, rubber (?) bushings all seem pretty dry and cracked. Shouldn't we replace those when we put in the lift spacers? Where does one get those stock donuts? Lumpy In Your Ears for 40 Something Years http://www.LumpyMusic.com http://www.digitalc...

Hey Timeless!

How's your research going on VSS? Mine is bugging the heck out
of me for some generated RF interference.

Someone please point me toward an answer to
a couple of phrases/acronyms I read a lot here -

Who is Dean at DHC? (What is DHC)
What is NECO?

My decoder ring's batteries died.

I don't care how well your mirrors are adjusted... you are a fool if you don't turn your head too. +1 Several hundred years ago, when I learned to drive, I learned the arcronym SMOG - Signal Mirrors Over-the-shoulder Go Even if I didn't think that turning my head was a good practice, I can see my b...

Well, I THOUGHT that replacing the VSS cured my odd RFI. It didn't. Now, just to add to the confusion, the RFI comes and goes. I can completely unplug the VSS and the sound may or may not be present, just depends on the phase of the moon, how I hold my mouth, current gold prices, whatever. For those...

So you going with 4" or > ? Love the paintjob! :cheers: Thanks! I'm pretty sure I'll do an Overland 4" lift. I don't want to switch brakes and all that. And I want to keep the U joints something like happy. I see you've done an Overland 4". Happy with yours? Any suprizes? Got lots of...

I took a bunch of photos of my 89 on the driveway at stock, 2" lift and 4" lift. Simply put them up on jack stands for the photos. Nothing done to the suspension. Zero Lift - http://www.digitalcartography.com/n0eq/astro/00InchSideView-600x450.jpg 2" Lift - http://www.digitalcartograph...

My RFI noise problem was indeed the VSS. Pulled the connector and that killed the noise. So, pulled the VSS, found a cracked housing (leaking a bit of ATF on the driveway) and the inductor poles were worn to nearly nothing. 10mm bolt and a twist pulled the VSS from the transmission. It comes out eas...

Any guesses as to the genesis of my RF noise appreciated... VEH: 89 Astro Z vin engine I'm getting RF noise on my ham radio(s). Here's the specifics - Noise is only on ONE freq, 146.52 MHz.

I'm a little late to the party - I changed plugs on my 89 Astro yesterday and ran into a problem that I haven't seen anyone mention. I couldn't get the spark plug socket onto #4 because the oil dipstick sheath was in the way. I had to remove the nuts that secure that thing to the exhaust manifold, t...
