    Headliner questions

    Also some foam or other insulation between roof and headliner board may help reduce heat wanting to unstick the headliner. I used Sovereign Trim Stay to glue the carpet to plywood sheets that act as my headliner, it suppose to be a high temp adhesive, but didn't have a chance to test it yet in...

    Rear bench won't latch

    Hi, my 3rd row bench won't latch to the floor. It won't go down enough for the latch to engage. Before I try to find the solution myself can anyone see something wrong with my bench latch? Nothing seems off, apart for the fact it bottoms out near the handle before latch can grab the rod in the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Added missing window tint on one side and replaced scratched and discolored (and too transparent) tint on barn doors. It's so hard to find a brown tint that would match factory tint, had to go with a 20% brown which is not that brown and more transparent than factory tint.

    Cruise control works for a while then starts to lose speed

    It did it again, so I jerry rigged vacuum gauge on a cowl measuring vacuum past the check valve. I can also see that the system holds vacuum for couple of hours after parking before it finally reaches zero. I can clearly see the pulses from cruise control solenoid especially when it is at 19...

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    Thanks! Can you help me with identifying which one is more likely to fit? Both look slightly different than the one in 1st post, however make/model/year is matching. https://allegro.pl/oferta/drazek-kolumny-kierowniczej-cherokee-xj-88-96-13823223053...

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    I'm twenty seven pages deep into this thread trying to figure out the purpose. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all this mod does is eliminates/reduces the slack in the steering by replacing easily wearing out "rag joint" with a Jeep shaft that has some integrated rubber dampener integrated in the...

    rusted drum

    I guess it happened outside of transmission, as if it was inside and rusted then I guess it shows a bigger issue with moisture and more rust on parts.

    Getting voltage to the up and down on all windows

    Not exactly sure what your issue is, 1.5 V should be much less than the minimum needed to activate an automotive relay, usually it's in a range of 5-7 V when it clicks.

    Issues with seatbelts

    I fixed my rear seatbelts. It is possible to pull the plastic cover off the retractors up and then to put it back in place, helped by the fact that the bottom part of the cover does not want to stay closed anyway. Left lap belt issue was caused by the belt folding over itself and not wanting to...

    How would an interior light stay on if you pulled out the fuse for it

    My $0.02: The guy is using 20 A range for that test. It is good for initial check, but far for good for measuring actual values. For measuring anything (electrical, distances, temperatures, whatever) you want to use as much of the measuring device range as possible. Measuring milliamps on a 20...

    How would an interior light stay on if you pulled out the fuse for it

    He pulls the fuse in order to measure current. He breaks the circuit removing the fuse then connects is back together with a multimeter instead of a fuse. Multimeter set to measring current has a resistance close to zero ohm.

    Issues with seatbelts

    I'll try aiming for that particular part, maybe that's what stuck. I have also tried using blunt force on retractors to un-seize the ratchet and it didn't help ;)

    Issues with seatbelts

    I can feel these hanging weights with my fingers and no amount of playing with them makes these belts free. I want to disassemble everything, inspect it, clean it, grease what's greaseable and reassemble it knowing that they are in a good working order. I twisted and slipped T50 wrench in a...

    Ideas for missing headliner

    Progress! I settled on using 4 mm plywood as a base and a carpet material shown before. I used a high temperature trim glue after trying out some other adhesive on sound deadening which failed miserably in a 34 deg C heat.Carpet is rigid enough so that the plywood does not to be as wide as the...

    Is rear side window identical on 1990 Burb and 1980s dual/bonus cab?

    Thank you all, I'm afraid that in a meantime someone just bought the whole part truck out of the scrap yard :(

    Cruise control works for a while then starts to lose speed

    A follow-up: Cruise seems to be fixed. Where was the leak - I don't know, I bet that the best guess is from Rusty Nail with the vacuum pod leak around the nipple. Now it seems to have more power, I can feel how it accelerates and slows down a bit in cycles and even has enough force to downshift...

    Is rear side window identical on 1990 Burb and 1980s dual/bonus cab?

    I looked at pictures and I can't tell a difference. I see that people sell rear door side glass as fitting both Suburban and pickups, so I guess the shape is identical. Which year did the glass thickness changed? My glass seems to be a laminated type, otherwise it would just shatter to tiny...

    4.1 mpg?

    I missed the posts from 2nd page, with no vacuum advance part of the combustion will happen in exhaust manifold, that's how the fuel may burn without creating usable work, just heat the exhaust.

    4.1 mpg?

    4.1 mpg (57.3 L/100 km) I don't believe it's possible it's actually burned, the amount of heat to reject would be immense. Maybe it's not firing on all 8 or running crazy rich? Any smoke?

    Is rear side window identical on 1990 Burb and 1980s dual/bonus cab?

    Like in topic title. I have one layer of my rear passenger side window cracked and someone's parting out an 86' C30 which is super rare in Poland, so... Why not if it fits? Any differences in shape, mounts, thickness, whatever? Lack of oven tint is not an issue. Or actually it is because dark...

    Cruise control works for a while then starts to lose speed

    Nice looking rig! To be honest with the market we have in Europe I got what I could, even though Suburban was on my wish list for years it would be nicer to have a Blazer/Jimmy or a short bed pickup, possibly even RWD. Burb looks nice, but the carpets, etc. are far from being practical, however...

    Door panel resto- backyard style

    Is it Dupli-Color? Do you know the exact type/code of that paint? My panels especially in cargo area could take some renovation too and yours look great! How durable is that paint?
