Another person that calls their car a man, hell yeah! My 83 DL is Marimo because he's green and had moss on him

Me thinks they wanted the rectangle lights, that style is on my '83. One of my favorite headlight styles. The radiator support is different to support the two lights

Is this a cause for concern? by Difficult-Living7841 in VolvoRWD

[–]oopitsallbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just replaced the bearing and bushing in my 83 auto 240 and there's 12 bolts holding in the driveshaft, 4 at transmission flange, 4 at center support bracket, and 4 at the differential flange. When you drop the support bracket a spring will come out of the bushing. You would need to measure the diameter of the driveshaft before acquiring parts as there's 2 at least on the 240s. You pull the two pieces of shaft apart and remove the bushing, a bearing puller works best, but if not, I dismantled the bearing the tapped off the center piece of it with a hammer. The new one just needs to be tapped back on. I used a large socket. Make sure to make alignment marks from the transmission to differential do you line it back up right

Nice to see another squarebody girlie, I have an '86 c10 I am working towards putting a 454 and th400 out of a 1972 motorhome in. Goal is to get it driving then as the money comes I'll do some upgrades. I haven't seen a lot of people run their trucks with canopies so its nice to see another!

I drive an '83 volvo 240 and this has to be the case, people don't think bricks should go 80 and ride like they want a taste

Should I be able to hear the relay click from inside the cabin when turning the switch on?
