Always a good feeling putting it back on its wheels and riding around. First time it's moved under its own power since I've owned it.

 

- Sealed the gutters
- Installed a new lower windshield intake molding
- Inspected underneath the car--all dry
- Inspected the air-conditioner drains--all clear and good
- Detailed the exterior
- Ordered more parts online ;-)

 

Changed the power steering fluid

Cleaned all of the snow from underneath it

 

Wasn't in limp mode. Probably had something to do with IAT.

 

I didn't imagine the S&M lights were flashing either.

P1884 is one of the trans codes often seen when the S&M lights and limp mode encountered. I've also seen the code several times just pending for no apparent reason. It's possible if a number of spurious P1884 faults are logged to have the engine light illuminate.

Working on getting this thing ready to pass inspection (10day temp tag). I ordered D1 wiper arms, new windshield sprayers, and need tires. I know a guy wanting to get rid of a set of 265/70/16, they don't seem much bigger than the stock 16s and i've searched and found that a 245/75/16 "is the biggest I can fit stock". There doesn't seem to be much of a difference there too.

255/65/16 vs 265/70/16


245/75/16 vs 265/70/16

 

Scrounged around and found a Safari Gard rear bumper and Gas tank skid today. I'm not sure what they're worth, I searched and found that the company doesn't exist anymore. Does anyone have any input?

Looks like the bumper was worth around 950 or so in 09, but new ones are around 400- 500

Typical gas tanks skids maybe 200.00

But the company appears to be long gone so start with new prices and figure out what you reasonably want to get
