92 The TowManche

[iimafa]

Took the rig out and headed south to red river gorge. The steering was getting pretty tough and forwards the end of the night I rolls into a mud hole pretty quick popping the tire off the bead and killing the pump. It was hard work driving it through the woods without power steering. I ordered another stock pump with the intention of modifying it, drilling out the orifice and increasing the pressure slightly. Also I started hearing a bad noise from the timing cover so with some reading I’m thinking it’s the chain tensioner. So I went ahead and ordered a tensioner and a new harmonic balancer, so in the next week or two I’ll pull it apart and try to get her back in shape. I also went ahead and ordered a thermostat controller oil cooler adaptor with the hopes to toss an oil cooler on the front. It get shot after wheeling all day and I’m hoping this will help slightly.
