Grumpy lit right up when I got home. I'll order the cap and rotor tomorrow. Think I figured out the HVAC problem, but I need to buy some hardware.

Weekend warrior, helped a friend move from one place to another.
Previous weekend, hauled 20 bags of 70L top soil home to redo lawn.
Yesterday, haul asses (heh) to a party.
Tomorrow ... bring home 4 new tires and wheels for another vehicle.
Aaron,
Way to show them how awesome these vehicles are!

After driving this thing since new (1998) and keeping great care of it, the carpet was still begging for more attention. I took both bench seats out, removed the carpet and the gross under-layment and used a power sprayer on it. Clean, clean, clean! I still need to find some new under-layment however before I reinstall it.

Stole a bunch of parts off the parts van. Turned around and got the HVAC system in Grumpy running properly. 
Need to test the AC in the heat of the day to see if it needs to be charged though.

Plowed through Calgary's spring snow storm - and off course didn't get stuck - or even close to it!

Appears that the heater core was replaced at some point and the plastic cover over it had its tabs broke off causing it to hang open and allow all the air to blow into the passenger foot well. Seems that the AC system needs charged now, but I rarely use it.crash wrote:aaron.. what ended up being your problem/solution? sorry if i missed an update in another sectionihatemybike wrote:Turned around and got the HVAC system in Grumpy running properly.
