Agree with this note from @MountainD, I put Jason's Dorman version in three years ago after my fourth Original in 110k miles/25 years. Its been great. Also did the LOF in August - got it from RN. Works great and I did not put in the helper spring on the pedal. My LT77 shifts are cleaner from...

Installed a LOF clutch. The original gen-u-wine throw-out bearing had a plastic center. Apologies to the Gods of originality, I am defaulting to "Let's make things better" as it applies to function and integrity.

Found the problem: Bad Fuel Pump Relay. Replaced with AFU2913L. Page 86 of the Revised Oct 1993 Manual showing the electrical circuit diagram was key to isolating the issue.

A new Lucas. It replaced a Magneto Marelli. If I wasn’t influenced by the desire to adhere to originality I’d check out SDOs high torque option.

The original NAS side runners giving way to the rust gods. Anyone looked into the Safety Devices L274's? These are a highly engineered solution designed for legit crawling protection. I'd like to see if anyone has installed these and could share a detailed photo. Attached is from the SD website.

You can also start from the steering wheel and work your way to the suspension. My steering shaft u-joint (as Red90 listed) just past the firewall, was the culprit.

And the winner is..........Failed Distributor Rotor! Seems obvious now : /

Yes updates appreciated. My ‘93 LWB died ytd at a traffic light right after fueling. Cranks fine, no turnover. Fuel pump is 13 months old (185k on odo) Been running like the dream, will post diagnosis

Started as a landscape architect using computer mapping for land development clients; founded a satellite imagery consulting firm and grew it for ten years-mostly routing international pipelines and building environmental data for oil & gas exploration; did a public service stint as the State of...

works almost every time!

I guess it makes sense to chum the waters especially now with the ECD $159,000 benchmark. Been over to visit the DutchSafari folks - nice group, very open about their operation and muddy green lemonade drinkers like the rest of us.
