Several years ago I purchased a large, commercial type MIG welder from a pawn shop. It never made good welds, even for flux core wire, after I got it set up. I thought it was operator error. Recently, I started research on internet. I found that MIG welders on single phase power use large capacitor...

If it wasn't for the fuel tank nonsense and the lack of actual support for the AWD suspension stuff, I wouldn't mind having that instead of the Delta link set-up. I mean I do custom stuff all of the time for my cars anyway, but I have other projects to direct that energy towards. ( I would REALLY li...

The coolant temp sensor would be a good place to start. Checking the connector for corrosion, as that causes issues too.

The FP relay will also give you cold-start fits.

I just tossed an original NA pass axle over the weekend. The inner axle (between the carrier bearing and the transmission) is a smaller diameter than the turbo ones.

*Shrug*

I dunno. All of my cars have been 850's.

The NA axle was from my '96 GLT manual.

Yeah, it's pretty difficult to even get things back together (Depending on how you took stuff apart) if things are off.

What was your disassembly process to get the old axle out?

I only removed the control arm and the CV axle. I think I know what I did wrong. I think I forgot to straighten the steering wheel before tighting everything up. The steering location at the time of disassembly would have nothing to do with it. The most recent ones I have done involve disconnecting...

I used Textar parking brake pads and those were fine. Maybe they have improved their compounds as they used to make the wheel really dirty with brake dust, just like the OE pads. I HATED the Textars on the wife's car when we did the 302 conversion. Noisy and dusty. We have Bosch on there currently,...

Finally got around to sourcing a replacement DS fender.

Swapped a new carrier bearing and replaced the boots on a used PS axle, to replace the new one that made as much noise as the old one I took out did. https://turbochuckcom.ipage.com/webimages/projects/97%20Volvo%20854T5/2023/Drivetrain/carrierbearing_1.jpg https://turbochuckcom.ipage.com/webimages/p...
