Name: Mike Johnson
Location: Pioneer Ohio (near Toledo)
Contact info: pm me here that'll get you my phone number.
Feedback: here and eBay hearseluver004

Alright I had this written out once but something happened and it all got deleted so id like to trade for something else. I love the car and don't really have to sell it but I'm bored with it. So Make me an offer on something cool or something not so cool and some cash.
Pros:
new head
new gaskets
Timing
And water pump all at around 147k

Cons:
Well I fixed all of the mechanical stuff, there is some damage still from hitting a deer but I haven't had time to straighten out the dents yet. The paint isn't great but what can you expect

Runs great is my current daily, really only want to trade.

Ill get more pictures for anyone wanting them.

Rocker "hole"

fender rust

Edit. Still for sale but some new paint and roof rack.

randomly "overheats" needle pegs, light on, dings and right back down to normal, completely intermittent and I can't make it happen in the garage under controlled conditions

Mike, or buyer...

Replace the temp sender with a Mopar unit. A new one from AutoZone will do the exact same thing. A NAPA one will fix the cluster but the fans will come on at 160º and not shut off.

It won't hurt to check for a chaffed wire from the cluster to the sender, but my bet is the sender.

Thanks Bill, I have a Borg Warner (lifetime warranty) unit sitting in the glove box I just haven't found time to install it yet. I was waiting for it to occur a few more times just to nail it down, but hasn't happened in roughly 3 weeks.

Changed that, thermostat, and radiator first thing, the radiator I did because I happened to have a brand new one and the old one was missing a good 8 inch square of fins.

If you are looking for consistency, put the AZ unit in there. The chiming will drive you insane. About every 10 to 15 minutes.

I actually installed a temp gauge in the heater tube to verify it wasn't actually getting that hot. It would never boil, or anything that correlated with the cluster reading. Drove it 4 hours from Flint to Wadsworth that way. It would have died well before we made it, if the problem was real.

I do keep an infared thermometer in the car now and check everything when it does it so its not actually overheating. I'll be installing the Borg Warner cts this morning

Bumping this, except now adding some deer damage tthe pass. door and rear quarter. New tires will be put on the front Monday, and the "overheating" has been seemingly fixed by a new sender, and the turn signal is working thanks to a new socket. More pics tomorrow to show the damage.

I installed min in the upper Rad hose. It helps with diagnosing theermostat issues. If the thermostat is fine the temp gauge will show temp after engine warm up, if the thermostat is stuck closed I will get no reading, if the thermostat is stuck open I will get readings right away.

I ended up using the 1/8 npt port on the bottom of the thermostat housing, Couldn't find the fittings I had and didn't want to buy a housing to go into the hose at the time. I am going to buy one now though since the sender I got is super short and only barely in the water flow.

Alright fellas, after an ankle surgery its kinda painful to shift anymore. I've been working on the body a bit here and there so some of the smaller dents are gone.
Any slomatics for trade?

bobneon2k · Post by **bobneon2k** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 2:01 pm

I'm liking the green. I need a new ride but cash is tight. I've been looking for a beater but what will you take for this car? I can deal with cash and a 2000 neon mtx with a blown motor and a good amount of of custom exterior work.

gtxtreme19 · Post by **gtxtreme19** » Mon Oct 28, 2013 9:52 pm

Bump for edit. Just realized it says 98 and its a 99
