Got myself a rebuilt one and problem solved, thanks for the input

All my lights/dash lights are flickering , it started off a little but it's now a constant flicker. Has anyone had this problem? Could it be the alternator?

Guess we'll have to find out on our own

Hey Folks,
Does anyone know the biggest tires you can put on an L400 without a lifter kit and without chance of rubbing the wheel well when turning?

Thanks

Hey Dustin, think you might want to help me out with this when you have time? email me

On a positive note, my sliding door is fixed...LOL

I bought it about 8 months ago from this guy Brad and it's been nothing but problem after problem, he talked a good game and I put my faith in him but he took me for a ride.... I had the injector pump rebuilt $1000 among other things and I just dropped $6000.00 getting the corrosion out of the frame...

It does get worse on an uphill, drove to Seattle a while ago and noticed more shimmy on a steeper hill

This type of shimmy is due to harmonics. How old are your shocks? Can you feel it in you steering wheel or in your butt? How old are the tires? I have had this before with customers and at work. 90% of the time it came down to a bad tire ie broken cord, flaw in new tire, old tires (8 years and tech...

Dustin

It does go away when I slow down to 80 or speed up to 100

I'm a little confused, I've had my wheels aligned/ balanced by Kal Tire twice, Japanoid once and West Coast Frame and Alignment a few days ago and the 90kmh shimmy still happens, I just had a look at my tires and there isn't any difference in the wear of any of them

Thanks for the input folks

Ok, but it doesn't shake at all when I'm on a slight downhill grade, and I've taken the van into 3 different places, wouldn't at least one
Of them spotted a faulty tire? Wouldn't there be more wear on that tire?

Thanks for the input, the lock still moves when I use the master on the driver door and when I use my remote. I'll open it up in the morning and do my best. I have another issue I may as well ask you about, when I get up to 90K, I feel a shake, it;s not wheel alignment because I've had them aligned ...
