I keep having this reoccurring problem of my alternator pulley nut falling off. Not sure if anyone has the same problem. I put it on tight this time with some lock tight. See if it works
Took out the water valve and replaced it with a normally open ball valve. Toggled to A/C on valve closes. Turn off/heat on valve automatically opens. Works great, no more hot water getting in while AC is on.
Where do you park it? How long does it sit between starting up. Could be moisture/condensation building up in exhaust. Or somthing burning off that gets in there?
If you are doing the hubs I would open the inspection cover and try to clean out any sludge that has built up. I replaced the gear oil and shortly after had to do a seal. I drained the new gear oil and it was all discolored from the sludge on the bottom.
I notice while driving that there seems to be some play/wondering in the steering. I jacked it up and started moving/pulling things. I noticed some play in the idler arm and a small amount of movement on the pitman arm at the ball joint.

Attempted to take apart today. I got some of it apart but I think I would have to take the whole unit out to get it apart.
I put it back together after determining that it was a bad idea to try to get it apart.
i ended up blowing air through the drain hole. Then I stuck a garden hose through...
I’m in need of a diagram/pictures or possibly a tm for my AC unit in my M1152A1.
The AC evaporator area seems to be clogged and I have condensation coming from everywhere and water on the floor. The water that does somewhat drip out the drain is really dirty.
Also when I turn I can hear what...
So I had to replace a seal on the hub and while I had everything off I decided to take the shims off. There were 3 on each side and there were slotted so I loosened the nuts and slid them out. I put everything back together and my toe in is crazy out of wack. No idea how to align this thing and...
Do you know where the condensation drain under the front passenger side evaporator is supposed to be hooked up to or where it drains to. It didn’t come with the hose nor could I see any holes a tube should pass through.
Are you going to change the electric hot water valve? Or just clamp it off when it’s hot out. Kinda got the same problem with the hot water still heating up my heater core while the A/C is on.
Read somewhere that these valves don’t work that great and hot water still gets through. I...
I’ll put some more R134A in. Got a new toggle switch today from Advanced Auto parts. It is pretty close to what was in there without spending $100 on an exact new one.
Also the heater core is really hot in the front Evap assembly. I think the water valve is stuck open. Tried to clamp it off with some vise grips but it still seemed hot . Probably didn’t clamp good enough.
Is the valve held closed when the power to the A/C is on? Seems strange
And one last...
