Byrdock Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Just wanted to thank the CC for being here!! I picked up my '88 MJ Pioneer last month, been looking for a while and finally got lucky and found one close by. With all the help and info here, I got all the gremlins out. That gave me the chance to use it on my trip to OH last week. 1600 miles and no worries or problems. Just didn't get to try the 4wd out cause they didn't get the snow that was called for. I fixed the blower motor,(had a new motor in it but needed new resistor), vent controls,(had vacuum line hooked to blue vent line), radio, (plug cut off), interior lights,(needed new ones), and a new headliner to put in this weekend (thanks to SMS), with all the info from the MJ masters on here. Replaced all the shocks and emission vacuum lines. Working on the rest of the ground refresh. Main problem now is fixing the gas seep around the sending unit. Put in new o-rings, (thanks again), but still seeps. Probably need to replace tank and get sender rebuilt. Has lots of rust since it was originally a NY truck, still has the snow plow attatchment. And here she is; 88- 4.0 renix- auto floor shift w/console- 4wd- 111k- d35 rear end- factory bedliner. Looking forward to learning a lot and getting deeper in debt fixing her up.

Byrdock Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 There was one spot about 3"x6" on the left side under the door sill that the previous owner fixed. Then he undercoated the entire truck with locktite extend rust treatment. I'll eventually find a reason to pull up the carpet to look for any more.

Byrdock Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 It was the original Pioneer paint stripes, but repairs to rust have covered parts of them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
