Fixin up the Hardbody
Two Days ago I purchased 2 pairs of shocks for the D21 from Monroe... All I can say is WOW!!!! I figured the Vintage 86.5 Shocks had had their reign for long enough.. But seriously Handleing improved! I went with monroe cause they were inexpensive... Cause towards January I am getting new suspension all around including new shocks (lift kits). But yah ill definately have to put some pics up! Also I still have to replace my TPS... Hey Rev! i Still got my vac hoses from 86 guess how many leaks i probably have..haha
Re: (Reverend D)
How Hard is it to swap the Hoses?? I did the shocks myself.. so if its just as easy or easier that would be hilarious!

Doing the hoses is more a function of time than difficulty. Do one at a time and be meticulous about the hose sizes, and you should be fine.
ON your old truck, it's probably screaming for new suspension bushings too. Think about the improvement just the shocks made. New bushings all around will likely improve it that much again.

Well.... Today heading home from class... My Truck decides to start having more problems... I was at a stop sign getting ready to turn..Saw it was clear so declutched started out and right when i hit around 2.5k RPM the Engine started acting like it wasnt getting any fuel.... It Did this all the way home.. I wasnt able to go over 3k RPM... when i got her home i let her sit for a few just idleing.... still Idles fine... so what i did next was i brought the Engine to about 6.2k RPM in hopes of it being a clogged Fuel line. it seems to be running fine now... But as far as fuel system goes... Fuel Filter is new... everything else is stock 86.5... Engine is the Z24I 2.4L and the truck has 74.6k miles
