    They put a diaphragm clutch in it.

    For whatever reason known unto Almighty God, the yoke covers the adjustment nuts, rendering it non adjustable.

    Yes, the clutch has never been adjusted in 700K miles. 700K miles in the Western U.S. lol - driver learn to shift ok?

    Wrench told me it wasn't adjustable awhile ago.

    So new clutch.

    You're right... and today my vehicle caught another guy's attention... Ha asked me if I had painted it with a chain brush.... :biggrin_25523: He said he likes it... it's real metal... not the cheap aluminum in his fancy SUV.... :biggrin_1square10:
    I visited another big junk yard today... They had 5 vehicles similar to mine but none were exactly the same...

    Thought about getting that black molding around the window and the bottom... cause mine is pretty torn apart and that item has been discontinued... But thought maybe I should buy that new if I find it somewhere...

    Ohhh... sorry to know that... I know the feeling.... I had a Caravan 82 in Brasil... it looked like this one... same color and tinted windows...

    [​IMG]

    My last ex in Brasil stole it after we broke up.... :mad: vehicle was mine, in my name, bought it with my bloody money...
    Took me 3 months to find it.. called police and we all went to police station...
    Vehicle was in bad shape when I got it back... problem with front end, going all over the road... Took it to shop and got it fixed... but I knew my ex would try to steal it again..:biggrin_1square1: So, I insured against theft and a couple weeks later, it was stolen... forever... Got the money from the insurance and bought another one just like that.. same year, same engine, same color, same tinted windows, same everything... It was my last car in Brasil..

    Hi I hope you truckers can help me out here. I work for a company that different people use the same truck a trucker is leaving the airlines just laying on the catwalk in the rain. Is it safe if rain or water gets into the airlines during 30 to 60 degree weather? I'm thinking of quitting cause I would rather go to a safer company who actually attaches the airlines back up so water does not get into them.
