The midtown 960

[244tiCanuck]

New paper air filter, keep watching ebay for a 960 K&N, I missed one the other day and I'm sad about it. The Do88 intake elbow fits perfectly. Had to give up on repairing / rebuilding the power steering pump, she's been metal on metal too long.

Hey is that Do88 elbow multi ply? That looks like exactly what I need to run the IAC on my T6 swapped car.

$7,800 of parts and labor later she is on the road. Granted this is labor I'm paying myself but still...

Try to install Morimoto 2-stroke 3.0 LED bulbs last week and it didn't go well for me.

Did you need longer hoses for the p80 brakes, or are the stock 960 ones long enough?

1995+ / mkII is technically P80 brakes already. I used a set of technafit Stainless lines for a P80.

I've got a 760 turbo one, I'm not sure if It would fit, but I'll happily sell it

Thank you for the offer but that's unfortunately a different part number
A 960 is 33-2526

One Grom BT3, one N.O.S. SC-815, and SiruisXM makes for an enjoyable commute.

Couldn't get the USB power from the Grom to power the SiriusXM, so a cigarette adaptor it is for now.

Morimoto 2-stroke 4.0 retrofits installed.
I hope the cutoffs are adjusted appropriately. Still expecting to get high-beamed.

I'm not sure why I expected a Volvo dealer to be able to replace the steering rack, fix the window switch on the driver side, and diagnose the automatic climate control.

$185 to tell me "yup, they broke"

Looks like eBay has a single listing for a blower motor resistor.

Thanks to these two threads :

I was able to diagnose which vacuum servo was leaking and find it at a local supplier. Just in time for summer.

Some broken plastic and shredded fingers later, I have a refurbished drivers window switch.

The contacts almost looked like a sacrificial anode they were so worn down.

good to see someone else diving into a 960

Well, my window switch repair didn't last because it keeps tripping the auto down relay due to the current draw being over the limit. So a new OEM switch was ordered from IPD.
The new vacuum servo arrived as well, going to attempt that on vacation next week.

And I think I lost a speed sensor somewhere. Check engine light ABS light, shift light, bulb out indicator, and my turn signals stopped working?

Great news everyone, it was the alternator.



also, goodness why is a 120A alternator so expensive?

The 200A AC Delco on my 2500HD was $176.
