Water pump is leaking. Bad. Is there a chance I could just torque the bolts down to see if it helps/stops? It's only had 30k miles since the timing belt was done. If not, has anyone used the rockauto tb/wp kit? https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=3290514&cc=1272552&jnid=557&jpid=17

I've checked the bell housings too, they're fully operational. Also swapped the drums at O'Reillys. Thanks for the tip tho.

I took it all back to O'Reillys. I'm just gonna order oem stuff. Anybody got the part members for shoes and associated hardware?

They were hot. So I could work on it. Parking brake cable is slack. Checked underneath.

Brand new wheel cylinders. I hope that's not it. The adjuster is all the way back. It has about an 1/8th inch of play. I can slide it back and forth between the shoes. I'll post up pics to make sure it's not installed wrong.

Did a full rear brakes job. One of the wheel cylinders popped so I just replaced everything at once. Everything under the drum is new, including the drum. So my problem is that the drums don't fit over the shoes. I had to gently persuade them on with a BFH. Then I did the e-brake trick to get...

Well i refilled the radiator this morning when i had access to a hose. The coolant looks fine but i guess ive got a leak somewhere. Drove about 20 miles to work and theres no evidence of the milkshake, usual shifting and the coolant looks fine. Pulled the oil cap and its just oil, no evidence there.

Pretty sure the hard start was first. Good power once running. Oil level is good and clean, but is due for a change. Coolant resevoir is empty so that probably the cause of the overheat. Wouldnt plugs/wires throw a code, like a misfire or something? Thats why i ruled those out.

Like the title says. The starter spins and spins. Theres no check engine lights (unless you count the abs light which has been on). I have to hold the pedal about halfway till it finally catches and starts. Wont start without pedal use. Second problem, maybe related. Defintely running hotter...

So I goofed up... While I was putting the actuator back on yesterday, my buddy was putting the interior back together. He didn't put the 4wd fuse back in. I found that out while testing for the voltage that Durk was talking about. So popped it in and tested and everything works again. Leaves...

Pm sent. I bought a new multimeter to test and I still haven't quite figured out how to use it. Working on it.

I will try all this tomorrow morning. I saw your reply while I was trying to search, you really seem to know a lot about the 4wd system. I will report back tomorrow. Where did you get that diagram from?

No dash light. Fuse is good. Switched it with the wiper Fuse. Still no good. Didn't try the right hand turn because it's late now. Which manual are you referring to?

I've got a 96 limited. With push button 4wd. The tc actuator works, I pulled it off and bench tested it by applying 12v. I also tested the 4wd button on the shifter, and that switch works. At the actuator, it doesn't get power when I push the button. So the problem is somewhere in between. Some...

Put it to work Had to move my parents out of their apartment...
