sweet typhoon don't see any of these on the road anymore I remember this when they were very common. When i was in the gulf came across about 20 of these and the pick up version. Brand new rotting in the sun just cooked couldnt bring one home against military regulations.
No going to run 18 or 19 inch wheels to clear the 6 pot brakes once I put them on. I am not sure if the brakes on my ZL1 spoiled me or if the Typhoon small early 90's brakes suck. lol

Thank you. I have wanted another one since I rolled my last one in 1993. Love the Typhoon and can't wait to work out the bugs to actually be able to start driving it.
2wd sway bar links done on the sonoma. Thinking of putting on the cowl hood to help.keep it cool. Having an over heating issue. Good hoses/new thermostat/new pump. No blockages and clean liquids.
Went out off-roading on Wednesday through mud and ice and snow and water. Was a blast and deep was all good till my cv decided to blow out
went to get the rocks out of my brakes today and noticed I had no brakes left so had to get new rears

At least your finding out now instead of a situation when you really need them. I have spare CV's as I do a lot of parts, but I don't go 4x4ing too often right now but I know he's in top shape to if I need to go for some reason.
I got lucky and had the money to send my wife for new rear pads and I had a spare set of rotors to put on and have to order a new cv but the ends are in place so I don’t lose fluid and keep the preload on the hub bearing

My quick fix for the over heating until I find out the issue. Also put a second layer of jb weld to sit over night and cure. Will see what its like tomorrow. Blazer looks different. Gotta finish it up and get thw brish guard back.on lol.

Don L, I was having overheating issues esp. when idling at drive throughs and so on. Once I got underway, it would cool down again. Didn't know what was causing this. I finally replaced the water pump with a reman. from NAPA and that was the cure. It also ran cooler on the highway. Maybe 5* to 10* F cooler.
But I see you have already replaced the water pump. If it is working properly, I would be sure the viscous fan coupling is working and the fan shroud is installed properly.
