Marauderville maintenance

[DOOM]

Fastblackmerc & SC Cheesehead would you guys consider working on members cars at MV-8?

Fastblack you can do lcm repairs for $25.00 a car! Think about it. For every 4 cars you do thats $100.00 bucks in your pocket (tax free) :D

Cheesehead you can do the wacky wiper fix.

I would be first in line to have both of you guys do these mods on my car. :2thumbs:

Easy money. :cool:

[DOOM]

Theres nothing wrong with my lcm or wipers but i would like to do both of these mods before anything happens.

Cant think of a better opportunity. :beer:

[fastblackmerc]

I can do the LCM & EATC fixes.

Already been thinking bout it.

[DOOM]

Great news!
I want as much done as possible. :2thumbs:

Put me FIRST on the list!

[LANDY]

excuse me here but what does LCM EATC means?

[RF Overlord]

LCM = Lighting Control Module
EATC = Electronic Automatic Temperature Control

These modules have known failure points. With the LCM, it's the headlight relay. With the EATC, it's the vacuum solenoid o-rings.

Since I've done both repairs, I'd be happy to assist fastblackmerc and SC Cheesehead (Rex doesn't fit under the dashboard... :eek: )

Heck, I barely fit under the durn hood...;)

[SC Cheesehead]

Doomie, does your car sit outside much? If not, may not need the wacky wiper fix, although we could prolly clean out build up under the rubber flap.

[Mr. Man]

Clean out the crap from the rubber flappy thingy. We'd be up for that mod:banana:

[CBT]

I'd pay someone to change the burnt out bulbs in my dash. Not that I particularly care how fast I'm going, but I do wonder when I'm near empty at night.

I can help you with that.

If anyone needs their O-Rings done I will do them free of charge of course. Just supply the rings. I have the tools. ;)

[MMBLUE]

Okay, so whats up with the wacky wiper thingy. I'm stumped?:dunno:

[fastblackmerc]

I'll have the tools and the o-rings and I'll also be doing the LCM repair if needed.

[Mr. Man]

I'll have the tools and the o-rings and I'll also be doing the LCM repair if needed.
Do you recommend the fix even if it ain't broke? If you look at the LCM can you discern if its a good one or one that is prone to fail? Might have you look at ours and see what you think. So far its working fine.:)

[Brian H]

Can i get someone to flash my Cats? my "check eng." lite is still glowing britely

[Motorhead350]

Okay, so whats up with the wacky wiper thingy. I'm stumped?:dunno:

You might need to replace the motor. I can do that for you.

I would leave it alone until it breaks, but age is age and it'll probably have to be done soon. I will do it if you wish.

Disconnect your battery for at least 30 min and the light will go away. If it comes back on your have a bigger issue than I can handle at MV.

[SC Cheesehead]

If the LCM is from a SB, prolly beyond repair...

;)

For what FBM charges for the HD relay upgrade, it's well worth it just for future peace of mind as at some point in time, the OEM relay WILL fail.

I'd do the repair even if it's not broken. It will break, just a matter of time. You don't want to get stuck on the Jersey Turnpike without headlights......

Since there is no shipping involved the repair will be less expensive.

[fastblackmerc]

Any one else looking to get any kind of work done?

We have:

LCM

EATC

Wipers

Instrument cluster lights

[1stMerc]

You can add me to the list for the EATC.

Hey there Bubba, seems to me someone would still be hoofin it in Muncie if it wasn't for some nice Silver Birch people who gave him a ride.:P:D

[Mr. Man]

Haven't been on the Turnpike in years but I get your drift. Pencil us in for a fix.

[Motorhead350]

I just realized the maintenance was supposed to be $25 a car to fastblackmerc. If that is the case I will step down so I do not cause him to lose any income, unless he doesn't mind me working on peoples cars. Maybe I'll step in if there are more cars that need service than he can handle for the event... or I'll just pretend I didn't read the first post and do whatever to whoever needs it.

Just let me know guys. If I make it, I'll do whatever for whoever. Money isn't important, but if you insist I will take or take a meal. :)

[rayjay]

Hmm, my EATC is now acting up. May take you up on this offer. Thanks :up:

[Bigdogjim]

Now if we could just set up somebody to do blower installations....;)

[Motorhead350]

Ask and he shall come.

Be glad to help you out.

[fastblackmerc]

Now if we could just set up somebody to do blower installations....;)

Will need a shop to do those.

[Motorhead350]

Fastblackmerc, should I help out or step aside? You were the one called out in the first place, so I am leaving this up to you.

I thought your appearance was not a sure thing??

[Motorhead350]

I thought your appearance was not a sure thing??

It isn't. Today just made things more confusing. :shake:

As of now things are looking better. I will gladly tell all if I get there.

[ctrlraven]

DOOM if you don't get your cowl cleaned out I can take care of that for you. I've had mine off so many times trying to fix the wacky wiper issue and I cleaned mine out every 6 months. Though since your car doesn't stay parked outside it shouldn't have any debris in the cowl and since the car never sees rain you should just remove your wipers. lol

Ours sits outside all the time so if Doomie is good to go we'll take you up on a clean-out. Wouldn't hurt me to watch either so as to learn what's involved.:)

I won't be at Marauderville though, DOOM is like 25 mins away from me. That's why I threw out the offer. lol

[Daily 03]

Jim,

I would like to get on the list for the LCM and EATC fix. Mine are working fine at present but sure would like the insurance against failure in the future.

We'll catch you at a CAM meet then.:)

[Motorhead350]

Looks like I can make it...... for now. :shake:

I know things keep changing for me like the weather right now.

Sorry. :o
