Subject: Re: Heater Problem Clarified
Try this: If you can see the heater valve, have someone turn the
heat on and off (the engine has to be running to do this so BE
CAREFULL!). You should see the arm on the valve move as they turn
the heat on and off. If it doesn't then you have one of two problems
that may cause this: 1. You have a vaccum leak or no vaccum going to
the valves vaccum diaprhams 2. the valve is frozen closed.
If there is nothing wrong with your valve then you may have a kinked
or blocked hose. The heater core could also be clogged.

Subject: Re: Trailing Arm Bolt Question.
If you have any doubts as to the safety of the trailing arm bolts just
change them, they aren't expensive and not hard to do. As to the
tendency for the car to behave differently turning left or right under
heavy acceleration this is an indication that the thrust angle is not
correct which requires a 4 wheel alignment to put the proper # of
shims behind the trailing bolts to get the rear wheels to both point
straight ahead. Order the trailing bolts and some shims and treat the
car to a good alignment letting the shop put the new bolts in
following the correct procedures and torque specs. Even with a proper
alignment there can be a tendency for torque steer so you can never
get it perfect.

Subject: Re: Trailing Arm Bolt Question.
If your trailing arm bolts are not double nutted then chances are
that one (or both) have "walked" themselves out. When I removed my
Trailing arm bolts I found that one of the nuts on the Bolt had come
loose and allowed the Trailing arm to move out. This caused the bolt
to bend. If this is the case with yours you SHOULD change them ASAP
before they break.

Refer to Delorean Parts Manual 5-1-0 ref # 31 pn 105177 it is refered
to as Lower Link but to most mechanics they would call it the front
(left or right) lower control arm. In fact J:11:01 calls it a lower
control arm. It is not designed to be used to pull the car or hold it
down, chains or hooks should NEVER be attached to it as it bends
easily that way.

You are absolutly correct about tongue weight. When I first trailered
my "D" in an enclosed trailer I had a lot of trouble with sway even
with a hitch with sway control. I tried moving it into different
positions foward and back but I couldn't move it foward enough. When I
realized that most of the weight is in the back I backed it into the
trailer and have been doing so ever since. The only drawback is that
it isn't the easist car to back up especially into a trailer! Now I
know why they backed it into Doc's trailer in the movie!

Subject: Heater Problem Clarified part 2
Alright, so I have one more thing to add, I just warmed the engine up enough
to get the juices flowing. I felt the hoses leading into and out of the hot
water valve. One side (going in) was hot, the other (going out) was cold. The
plunger device inside of the valve seemed to move pretty easily when cold,
but seemed frozen once the engine was hot. I hope that this might preclude an
A/C mode switch problem, but I'd like to hear what anyone has to say.
Thanks once again,

Used DeLorean Radiator. This is the radiator that I removed from my
DeLorean a couple of weeks ago. I have replaced it with an upgraded
brass 3-row radiator from PJ Grady. The radiator has no leak spots,
no visible rust anywhere in the radiator (the coolant looked good
when I flushed the system). Cost: $50 plus s/h.
I may have some other parts that I put up for sale.

Subject: Re: towing a delorean
The trailer itself can also make a huge difference.
When we took our car from St. Louis to the Cleveland show we borrowed
a trailer from a friend and what a nightmare! All over the hiway. I
had to pry my hands off the steering wheel in Cleveland. On the trip
back we loaded up the trunk of the D with some ballast and strapped
the ramps to the front of the trailer. Handled better.
On our trip to Houston this year we used a race car trailer that we
bought and it worked like a dream. Could park the D anywhere on it
and it pulled and handled flawlessly even during a hiway speed
evasive manuever to miss some debris in the road.
The main difference in these two trailers is where the axles where
located. The race car trailer had them set back further.

A Hint ...
Put grease or heavy wax on the trailing arm bolt before installation. I had
a case where the bolt rusted and "welded" to the hole so badly that I had to
replace the arm. The other problem that could arise is that if the part
rusts and welds to the hole, you could get a false torque reading. It could
be torqued properly at the nut end and be loose at the other end.
Just a suggestion

Hello List,
I like most people received the new DMC magazine in the mail yesterday. I
was overwhelmed at the beauty of the cover and of the pictures in the

I feel that a $36 subscription fee for 4 thin magazines is a little high.
Does anyone else feel the same way?

The email sent by Aaron Crocco regarding the "daily driver" probability for a young owner caught my attention. He's the young fellow who worked for Grady for the summer.
There is hope for the future with the next generation of citizens when we have young people like Aaron thinking intelligently, responsibly and being able to express himself verbally. Our life since September 11, has changed in both attitude and priority. Many worry about where we will go from here, and how we will handle things. Although his comments were directed at an automotive theme, it is comforting to know that all of our youth are not anarchists, and radicals.
I applaud our younger list followers!

A large piece of plywood that is part of the fiberglass underbody has rotted
due to leaking battery acid. There is a bracket made of sheet metal that
screws to this plywood at the front bottom of the battery compartment. Now
that the wood is thorougly rotted away, there is nothing left for this
bracket to attach. Since this bracket is important for holding the battery
compartment cover in place, I would like to find a way to fix it. Does
anyone have any experience on replacing this plywood? It appears to be

Setting back the axel means more weight on the tongue. You can also achieve
the same thing by extending the tongue. There are tongue extension kits
available but the easiest way is still loading the D backwards.

Subject: Exhaust tips
My '82 has these great 2 1/2" (OD) slanted exhaust tips that I'm used
to, they look great, I think they're perfect for the car. Along comes
my '83 with those pathetic little 1 3/4" (OD) round pipes. Ugh! Went
looking for tips on the net after first checking out JC Whitney. Some
40 net pages later still couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks
to Bruce Benson I took another look at JC Whitney. They have these
great looking highly polished 2 1/2" OD SS slanted tips for $13.95
each. Only Problem, ID is about 2". OK, I can Mickey mouse something.
(Part # 47TS2884P). Installed them today, look pretty good for a first
effort but I'm not quite happy with them. What I did was make 4 slots
in the back with a hack saw, then pounded in two opposite sides slightly
so that the other two sides would sort of overlap and clamp on the small
pipe. Also from JC Whitney I ordered 2-SS 2" clamps (83TS0713Y).
Pounded the ends down to where the clamps would fit and clamped them in
place. Almost happy with them but think I'll take them off again and
use some exhaust pipe reducers and larger clamps so that there isn't
such a difference between ID and OD.
I heartily recommend these tips but not necessarily my installation
methods. The job looks pretty good though, if I do make it better I'll
let you in on it.
