HoRizon is getting fix0red
Been doing some things to keep the HoRizon in tip top shape. Finally got all the axle bearings all happy and quiet. Tonight (at like 2am) i went and pulled the axles so i can drop them off tomorrow to get rebuilt and have them ready for work on Thurs. My CDM drivers side ripped AGAIN and im sick of getting CDM ones every 2 mos, so i'm just getting them both built fresh.
In the meantime I picked up an oil pressure gauge sender b/c mine gives fluctuating oil pressure all the time. Somedays it is almost at 0 at idle and will never cross the 1/2 way mark.. then 20 min later it wont go lower than 1/2 way. The fuckin thing costed $25!!
I also got a new fuel filter since who knows when it was changed last. The car surges some almost like when its about to run out of gas... im thinking its starving with a plugged filter.
I'll also put on my new CDM RF door handle so Karen can get in by herself!
That should tide it over for a few more weeks. But in the not too distant future it needs a new steering rack and I may put struts on all 4 at that time, or possibly the week after. The car rides like its got these huge balloon tires.
After all that, it needs a little rust fix in the passenger side A-pillar on the outside where it meets the fender.
And to finish the car off, i'll build a 2.5 for it someday. This 2.2 is bitch slappin the pistons!
Oh yeah, I guess someday I should pull the A/C box and put in a new evaporator. It blew and now I have no A/C. I guess that can wait since summers almost over.
Lori, you say you can pull the box without taking the dash out?

LMAO Pull the box w/o removing the dahs??? Good Fucking Luck. Especially an A/C box. I know for a fact that it isn't going to happen. Heater only box maby, I know you can install a heater only w/o dash removal but it's a bitch.

I have no center console I bet I could get mine out with the dash in. But my AC would actually work if I would take the time to put some dye in and find out where its leaking. I know for a fact it works because I fixed it (needed a new expansion block), and it worked for a while until the freon all leaked out. So my box is staying in
