    Since Photobucket has decided to removed free 3rd party hosting, all of my pictures and many other members photos are no longer showing in our threads. Is there any known workaround other than shelling out $400 dollars to photobucket? I've seen some threads have not been affected, yet have...

    Can't remove Front Drive Axles

    For what ever reason both front drive axles are stuck at the flange. I've removed all the bolts, ect...It's literally just hanging there. Give it a tug, but its not coming loose. I sprayed some PB Blaster on the crack where the two flanges meet, all the way around, but it hasn't worked yet...

    Stock Block rebuild

    I pulled the motor out of the Ty about a month ago. Thought I had a head leak, more than likely it was the china wall. Wanted to pull it anyway cause of the motor mounts, a front diff leak and oil cooler line leak. Now that the engine is completely disassembled and cleaned, I need to put it...

    Ty 242 takes on AutoX

    Got to try my hand at AutoX today. Holy crap was that fun. The novice school is awesome. The best learning experience was when the instructor drove the Ty. He pushed it hard and I'm really glad he did. It made me realize that this thing really can do this and actually be respectable. I...

    Fog Lamp Hardware

    When I bought my truck it did not have the original fog lights in place...had some aftermarket, round, crappy light in the fog location. I've removed that and I'm preparing to set some originals back in. For the hardware, I surmised the following for the spring adjustment by combing through...

    How to get AC colder

    I started a WTB thread earlier today because I was looking to swap out my under drive pulley for a factory crank pulley in hopes of making my AC compressor run at its normal operating RPM at idle...thus cooling the Ty a little more. Well I basically did a test with a vent thermometer and ran...

    Trans leak from the tq converter?

    I daily drive my Ty and it has been great for a while no leaks at all. Today, I noticed some smoke, that was sweet in smell coming from the rear of the vehicle. It was actually bad enough that it was misting the whole back of the truck. Parked it at home and left it running. Looked...

    Rear Diff fluid amount

    This weekend I tackled changing the fluid in the rear end. The previous owner noted to me that it needed to be changed when I bought the truck a couple years ago, and I'm finally getting around to do it. The motivation was simply because the cover was wet and greasy and I could tell it must...

    Typhoon #242 Refresh

    I wish I had started this thread when I first began refreshing my Ty almost a year ago, but better late than never. I just want to share what I've done to my Ty since owning it.

    Need A/C lines

    I'm in need of the factory A/C lines from the compressor to the accumulator and condensor. These are the rubber lines that are attached to the back of the compressor via the manifold. I'm installing AC back in my Ty and the fit is too tight for custom lines at the manifold. Since I've...

    Test the vacuum selector

    I've been working on getting the AC back in my Ty and have ran into an issue with the vent selector...I think. When the truck is running and the blower motor on high, I'm unable to get the air to any vent other than dash and floor. From searching this forum, it sounds like this issue could be...

    Handsfree Keyless Entry

    I'm finally at the stage to put in a new aftermarket keyless entry system in my 93 Ty. I'm missing some understanding of the wiring though. Basically, I believe that I need to cut some wires and install relays in order to get the doors to lock and unlock, but what wires? and where in the run...

    Turbo oil drain removal

    I searched the forum prior to removing this tube, in prep for a braided return. What I learned was that it may end up being difficult to remove the nipple that is attached to the 90 degree fitting that goes into the oil pan due to the different types of metal. I wanted to share my experience...
