Re: Running Hot, no heat

Thanks for the responses. Found a pep boys open this Super Bowl Sunday morning and they are fixing a radiator hose leak, two bad belts, and the radiator cap.

Running Hot, no heat

I am on an epic road trip in my SR5 currently stuck in Colorado Springs. I've crossed the continental divide and 6 mountain passes. My SR5 started running hot as I approached Colorado Springs. It seemed to not be overheating when I was moving good and not pushing the car. As I got closer to Colorado ...

Re: Shifting into 4WD tips, tricks and procedures requested

Thanks again! Yes, I figured out the "locked" position on the inclomometer. That only applies to the tilt of the vehicle and not 4wd picture of the wheels, correct?

Re: Shifting into 4WD tips, tricks and procedures requested

Thanks for the tips, everyone. I found a gravel road, and shifted her into 4wd no prob!

How do you know for sure that you're in 4wd? I was able to shift into the EL gear, that was cool. Nothing changed on the inclimometer, so I'm hoping that's broken. Or maybe I wasn't really in 4wd?

Re: Shifting into 4WD tips, tricks and procedures requested

Wow, that sounds easy!

Yes, I haven't yet put it in 4wd. I'm afraid I was going to mess something up.

How fast can I go in 4wd? Can I go through all of the gears?

Thanks,

Nick

hello,

My name is Nick and I'm new here. I just bought a 1984 SR5. I'm very excited. I've been looking for one for a very long time. I want to learn as much about these babies as possible. Below is a picture of it.
