HAPPY NEW YEAR Beach Toy! Now 21 years old!
So finally doing timing belt replacement (another story) precipitated by top tank tank letting loose on radiator, causing coolant flood in driveway (thanks to the Big Man for great location for this to happen, just got home from work), necessitating rad replacement, (and easier to do timing belt with rad out of the way), and have to pull fan/fan clutch as an assembly with rad to get it all out, (what fun!) and found fan clutch coated in gooey, greasy, goo; so added thermostatic fan clutch to parts order. Bought an Imperial brand fan clutch assembly (P/N 215028 on box, sub set numbers 2582) through Advance Auto Parts online, so I could use coupon for % off, had to pick ship to home, as none in stock in store. Part came (Made in Japan) and shaz-zam, fan clutch is Aisin brand! Exact fit, with same casting/tooling marks as original fan clutch. So FYI on part number/ brand for anybody else needing thermostatic fan clutch assembly. NOTE: you must transfer your old fan and studs from old clutch to new one (double nuts on studs and they come right out, back in on new one the same way), couldn't use under-counter parts washer in kitchen for fan (caught by wife) so cleaned up goo on old fan in sink instead. Looks great, and much smoother operation, can't wait to get installed. (still working on T-Belt).

I have a 92 sidekick 2 door automatic. Anybody know what the deal is with flat towing these things. I keep hearing mixed reviews. I don't see why you can't just put it in neutral and tow it. Can anyone help?

Just picked up replacement dipstick for 2002 1.3 Jimny from scrapyard. Not convinced its the same as one still in the tube when the plastic handle snapped off. 2 queries:
1. cannot retrieve old dipstick so is it ok to leave in tube - the replacement does go down the tube ok
2. do you know measurement from top edge of tube to max and min mark on dipstick?

For all of you that have assisted me in the rehab of my $400 mud toy into a highway capable joy ride, I thank you greatly! In lieu of getting that engine and truck running well enough, I have been bitten by the Zuki bug. ;)

I bought a G16A (Turbo) for $230 in Ohio and it came with all kinds of bits and pieces. After speaking with a few people, I have decided to get rid of the turbo setup and go with N/A build but who knows what will happen if it all comes together. I'm going to be tearing down the entire engine head to block, replacing all the wiring on the engine, replace all the hoses, replace all the vacuum lines and replace most every single component.

Now some people would say "that is insane and not worth the money". I say "Nay!". I have plans to purchase a Grand Vitara / Vitara and plant that engine in a 1999 / 2000 or so. This won't be a short project. :lol:

Here are a series of pictures of the job I've taken on! I'll have tons and tons of questions so chime in and I'll make sure I distribute the rep points! ^_^

Here is the engine at home on a pallet. I know I need an engine stand.


What happened to the intake?


This is the "custom" manifold!


At least it was the right engine!

Hello all..My 95 Geo Tracker is missing when cold, at 1500rpm and up...then when it warms up..it seems to be ok..The tach is jumping up and down, so I can be sure its not the plugs, wires, or anything tuneup related...it would have to be, I think, somewhere in the distributor ...like the wires going to it..Just seems like electrical on the low voltage side, not high voltage like the spark plugs, or distributor cap or rotor..any ideas???

Thanks for any comments

Kenny

i want to know if there's track width difference between model years of sidekick or between 2 and 4 door model.

These 2 sites quote different track width depending on chassis.
54.9 f v 57.3f
55.1 r v 57.1r

94, 1.6l, 8v... my dipstick is broken(a part is missing), so can`t see the lenght of it. I`m going to a scrap yard at the beginning of the week and would like to be sure it`s the same one for those years as I want to get the accurate level of transmission fluid...

Thanks John

With the new wheels/tires installed, I whipped out the spray paint and added some stripes and a fake air intake to the Tracker. I want to go to an olive green eventually. Anyone else have any pictures to post of how they have accented their Sidekick or Tracker with stripes or decals?

Also, has anyone installed a camo print top on their Sidekick or Tracker?

Ok, I know some of you guys have seen my numerous posts and replies to my clockspring woes. I'm trying to see if I can check if the connections to the clockspring are just loose or disconnected because I'm not hearing any funny noises when I steer my wheel. But in my research, is the steering wheel puller included somewhere in the steering column of the 04 XL7? I thought I saw that in the posts but I'm going cross-eyed researching this online and I may have read it on another vehicle's forum but can't find it so I thought I'd ask. If not, off to the parts store I go as I'm about to embark on this uncharted journey to verify if my clockspring is bad (no horn, cruise, and airbag light always on). Eventually I'll have to remove it to replace it, but I can' even find where they sell the clockspring separately, only with the whole dang combo switch behind the airbag.
