Time to start thinking about the winter projects,
I have an 82 Diesel heater core I pulled from a clean low miler a year or so back.
I am planning to have it cleaned out / pressure tested / recycled into my 86 gasser.
Question 1: Diesel vs Gasser heater cores. Were there any differences I should know that arent apparent as far as heat output, etc? I suspect they are the same size etc.
Question 2: Blower Motor replacement quality. Bosch ones available here are about 200, Febi-Bilstein are about a third of that, Ultra 8 and others are even cheaper. where would you put your money ??
Used to be you bought Bosch and were done with it. The more I read about their starters, alternators, etc, it seems they have the same issues as most other lower end companies but at a higher price.
Question 3: Wiper Motor R&R. A wise man once said ( I think it was wildthings ) to do the wiper motor and all that R&R since you don't want to go back in there after the fact. Febi-Bilstein seems to be the one I can source in Canada around 55 bucks. Comments ??
Geez, I better do the jeep resistor too while I'm there ! Oy, it's gonna be a loooong winter ! And I don't start any of this until my new TiiCo motor is up and running ! |
