Was able to drill it out and found the housing to be in pretty bad shape so I’m waiting for a new one but luckily have an extra bolt. Also replaced the harmonic balancer since I was in there. The harmonic balancer looked like it was ready to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvagedcircuit Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Added a tissue box holder. Cut down a standard sized 4.5" cube tissue box to about 1/3 of the original volume. Fits pretty nice and the tissues come out naturally with no fiddling. Uses standard sized 8.3in tissues. Winnner winner, chicken dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was set up so that light would come on at certain mileage intervals to remind you to take it to be serviced. But it's been a long time since I had a maintenance timer.

watchamakalit Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Pull the timer out. As far as I know without special equipment it can't be reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvagedcircuit Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I duplicated the screw plugs in the front trim pieces. The fit, finish and color are so close its crazy. The front caps are smaller than the rear ones. All the ones shown here are printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of build plate are you using for that surface finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a rough texture pei plate and printed the first layer slow for better texture. Thanks I would need honey for my interior, no clue what filament would match that. Suppose they could always be painted. I have a smooth pei sheet on mine and the factory magnetic sheet that creality has that makes a little texture, but it's not as rough or close to original as yours.

Thanks I would definitely buy a set of medium blue hotcakes if you start producing these. You've got quite a portfolio of parts drawn up. You should totally start selling stuff.

I need to camp out at my local microcenter and see what color closely matches blue then stock up close colors. I've got gray interior parts and I'm going to try and match the major colors.

Pete M Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 drove over an hour to get to Breanne's MJ (it was soooo much easier when it was sitting in my driveway!) to change out the radiator (which will hopefully stop the overheating) and change the oil (because I was there anyways). also discovered that the front axle ujoint has given up , so that's next on the list (along with adding side-facing turn indicators and wiring in the new sensor so the efan can turn on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htchevyii Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Don't you hate it, when you're almost done with a job and it suddenly goes bad? I welded an inner and outer reinforcement on the steering box area of the frame. I got everything reinstalled and went to tighten the sway bar bolts (they also hold the steering brace). &+$#! One of the driver's side welded in nuts stripped out. Now to uninstall everything for better access. FYI, you can get to the inside of the frame on the passenger side from the front, but the driver's access is blocked by a reinforcement for the steering box. Pictures of both below. Luckily, the welded in nuts had enough meat that I was able to tap it and install a helicoil. Otherwise, I think you'd be to drill it and weld in a "weld nut" from below. At least it's done, I have the rest of the reinforcement plates to install at some point down the road, but the urgent part is done, (there were some cracks in the steering box area). Summer is here and adventures await. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
