Keeping up on the cars 85/88
Posted: Fri Feb 14, 2025 4:02 pm
In an effort to keep things alive here, I thought I would post a bit on my cars.
-88- My wife's show car is in excellent shape but there are always little things to improve upon. The AOD went out at the end of 2023 due to the TV bushing failing. Its a known problem but who would have thought it would fail at 28, 000 miles. Got to pull the trans for a rebuild. Its been parked on the lift.
-85- This is more of a daily driver so there's something to fix. The new right side muffler did not come with a hangar bracket so its not well supported. It did break the new tail pipe isolator. I have a new muffler waiting to go on. You might ask why there was no bracket. Everyone sells 79-93 exhausts by they leave out the part where 79-85 is not bolt on. 85 uses and needs short muffler on the right side due to the y pipe. All replacement systems out there use the same muffler on left and right. 86-93 can squeeze it in on the right side.
Waiting for nice weather.
