off to the parts house for a new battery, new battery post and a wire brush. get back home, put it all back together and.....
it works of course....lol
just another $100 i didn't wanna spend right now.
it must look too good. Mine looks like a pos that is never driven. I've had two guys knock on my door wanting to buy it.justice wrote:tried to sell it (the 95)
If it hadn't worked, I would have said replace the wire it self, sometimes they get corroded on the inside, had a full sized van do that to me once... new battery, new alternator, new terminals.... and then replaced the wire and everything worked fine.... all the other stuff was over kill (although the battery was about 6 years old.... so it was about time for a new one anyway)justice wrote:arrrg....wife comes in and says the 92 is doing the same thing the 87 did. So i check the battery with the volt meter, plenty of power. The battery post is kinda munged up and seems a little loose. Easy fix. Pull it apart, clean the terminals and put it back together. its worse then before. take it apart again check everything, put it back together, still nothing. try to tighten the terminal some more and sssssssss....pos terminal on battery is stripped.![]()

Mine had a similar dip in the back, but that was with around 700+ lbs of carpet cleaning equipment, a set of sping helpers picked up the back. I added a helper spring to the rear of both leaf spring, and can add another set to the front if needed. I believe the set was around $70crash wrote:loaded up a bunch of tools, a floor jack along with a set of 4 steel rims and tires and headed the hour to my mothers place to try and repair her washing machine and check out a random hard start issue on her 90 new yorker (turns over 5 times instead of the standard 2)
I realized how badly i need to install front shocks and install air shocks in the rear
just look at this thing. one aluminum floor jack a few tools and one set of 4 14" wheels & tires, a battery and an alternator .... it just ain't right and shouldn't be sagging in the rear end like this, or is it just me? God forbid I actually consider making use of the hitch and attempt to tow something.. imagine it then?![]()
good news: i fixed the washing machine
I got a cheap $40 chrome steel mag at discount tire for a full size spare...looks pretty bad when I have to use it, but it gets the job done.Lumpy wrote:Took a trip to the local pull-a-part. Found a trans dipstick

on the broken dipstick).
Didn't find any Astro "wagon wheels". Still looking for just ONE
if anyone has one. Just a single, stock wheel, for use as a
full sized spare. Rubber doesn't matter, I'll replace that.
