Just got back from Tire Factory with new tires!! Sumitomo HTR+ all seasons. sold the 20's and threw the stockers back on.

old tires were very weirdly worn down. the outside of the passenger side was eaten, the insides and drivers tires were perfect, but all 4 were cracking pretty bad.

I "had" those tires on my Sy and loved them. :tup:

Drivers side, in frame rail. You'll see the fuel lines. It's about 4" long x 1 1/2".

me and motormouth tackled the e-fan and intercooler pump wiring today. Cleaned it up, got rid of pesky wire nuts, everything comes on with the ignition. Nice and cool now! Back to driving condition!

Tried for the millionth time to get the purple wire on the AC blower nice and tight. This after it cut out again in the boiling hot sun! I still don't think I got it. :( Would hate to cut it and put a regular terminal but I might have to if it cuts out again.

Just a thought, but are you sure it's not the relay next to the blower motor? I've had to replace a few of them on syty's and s trucks due to age and use. :2cents:

Re: What did you do to your SY/TY today?

I think I have a spare relay I could try. One thread said it might actually be the AC switch. I looked at the top speed control pigtail of the switch and found no sign of wear/heat, but I couldn't pull it out far enough to look at the main vertical switches pigtail.
What happens is after like 40min+ driving with AC on in hot weather it'll just stop blowing. I could turn it off and on again fast and it'll run for a couple sec's and stop again. I could turn it off...wait a while...then turn it on and it'll run for longer before stopping again. So I'm thinking something it getting too hot, maybe the motor since this stupid terminal isn't easy to plug properly and could be causing it to draw hard through little contact. The rubber around the terminal shows signs of melting/heat. I could crimp a new terminal and be done with it, but what if the prob is the switch or the motor? I kind of like the look of the OEM terminal and how the rubber grabs the motor end.
The blower is an aftermarket Seimens (sp?) made in Mexico POS I got from PepBoys. It's not hard to replace so I might do that in the near future just for the sake of it not blowing hard as OEM. I'm sure I'll figure it out or DaveP will figure it out.

The relay is pretty cheap, easy and one less thing it could be. Seen the heat thing happen to relays before too.

Have you looked at your dash fan switch for corrosion or heat distortion? Mine shorted out and melted once.

Next time it stops go and tap the relay and see if it goes back.

Re: What did you do to your SY/TY today?

K lets do that! I'm pretty much free most of this week, let me know and we'll go. I also got all the seals on the list and am just waiting for the PCV valves which NAPA ordered. It should be there tomorrow. I just remembered a question. NAPA couldn't find the ABS front sensors under Typhoon so I told him to look under 93 Jimmy and write down the #'s if they are correct I'll order later. Will 1993 4X4 Jimmy front ABS sensors work?
