348 FINALLY in for service

did you say 1850 miles ??

 

Why are you servicing the car if it's in storage?

 

Thats about $4.34 per mile figuring the service is 8k ))

 

Cool pics. Thanks for sharing Ron.

I know this 348 is a keeper.

 

1850 mine is times 59 hahaha 1850x59=

 

Unless my math is wrong, you serviced it about 28,500 miles too soon. ???

 

+1 Million.

 

Wow it's a '92 but you still have a Delco alternator? I would have thought all the 348s would have been upgraded to the Nippondenso units by '92?????

 

Nope! My car is also a 92' (Aug or Sep 91?...have to check and it also has a Delco

 

Hi. Just out of curiosity ... the belts on the car were 16 years old?

 

They can't be, because after 3 years the belts are designed to spontaneously combust and disintegrate into dust and shoot shrapnel into your cylinders and then you have to surgically pull your valve guides out of your @ss!

 

Strange cause mine's a '90 and it has the Nippondenso. Learned something new.

 

Jeff,

Funny man ... was wondering, really .... my 308 got a major after 9 years and the belts looked good, ha ...... not that i'd recommend it 2 wait that long ;-)

 

Yours has the Nippondenso unit probably because the service bulletin on your car was done back at the time. It is understandable that many 348s never had the change done. I know my 1992 348 was an April, 1992 build; and I have documentation showing that the campaign was performed at the dealer.

The service campaign for the change to Nippondenso alternators is dated June 1992.

 

I wonder if yours was converted? As you know the brackets and the alternator were available for conversion, which some people did.

 

Yeah you guys are probably correct that mind was changed over per the bulletin. I guess it just depended on the build date of the '92 cars as to what alternator they got.

 

My '92 has the Delco.

He wouldn't need to....driving around the block twice a month.

 

to where? the mailbox and back lol??

 

I don't think 5,6,7 years with average driving and usual maintenance should be a problem for belts. Others may think I am crazy and insist it has to be 3 years.

 

I also agree.

My cam belt has been in there since 2003. 5 years is up and I WAS..........going to do it this September. But I dont think I could be bothered yet.

I will do it soon though.....
