rtarh2o Extreme Veteran Date registered: Oct 2008 Location: Northeast Texas Vehicle(s): 1994 G350DT, 1972 Triumph TR6 Posts: 386 | Pictures of my G350 This is not a "sale" post, I am still considering the pro's and con's of keeping my much beloved G but there are people wanting to see some pictures and since I have never posted any in the 18 months I have owned it I feel like it is time. A little current information on it. Air conditioning currently working great, temperatures here have been HOT and it blows cold even sitting in traffic. So far is hasn't cut off but I am keeping the switch in place til the end of the summer just in case, hopefully it was just the low pressure switch that was making the compressor cut off. Cruise control works great, forgot how nice it was to have it! As I have said, I have put a bit over 20,000 miles on it in 18 months so it is being driven and there hasn't even been the slightest problem, I would get in this and drive it anywhere (obviously I do) It does need a few little things still, the low fuel light is on, I have tried cleaning the contacts above the tank, they were fairly clean but I cleaned them anyway, didn't help. The ABS light is on, haven't even looked into this. It does have a front end shimmy for a few minutes at highway speed, it goes away, I have been told it might be tire balance. It also has the typical slight pull to the right that apparently is an easy fix also. The hood release cable broke off under the dash so it has been cut and now you pull it from the grill, again, not a big enough deal for me to repair it yet. The oil has been every 3-5,000 miles. The paint is still in really good shape, the only rust spot is on the back, I posted a picture of it. I did not take any pictures of the undercarriage but it is totally rust free, not even the exhaust or anything and I live in Texas so what people in some parts of the country call rust free I do not, this is really rust free. Enjoy! Rusty I am sure there are other things but they aren't coming to mind right now.

I originally had two cupholders and a small section in between them for a bit of storage. I think it was supposed to be slid in between seats because it has a section going downward to slid between the seats. Anyway, I cut off one of the cup holders and screwed the unit into the center console. It works pretty good, especially given the fact it only cost a couple dollars. I looked around and really couldn't find anything I liked better, I thought this would be just temporary but it has been there for 18 months now! I really like the color too, mainly just because it is different! Rusty | ||

rtarh2o Extreme Veteran Date registered: Oct 2008 Location: Northeast Texas Vehicle(s): 1994 G350DT, 1972 Triumph TR6 Posts: 386 | RE: Pictures of my G350 Ace31, if you look at the picture of the engine you will notice the intercooler starting on top of and going to the left of the valve cover, it is placed sort of parallel with the engine block on the left side. It is water cooled so it does not need the airflow. I find it hard to believe that it can get much cooling benefit with it nestled in there and nearly 100ºC water flowing through it but the I guess the numbers don't lie. It really is a nice driving vehicle with this engine. Rusty | ||
