Why are you selling? If I had the money and it was a wagon it would be nice to have that over my dodge but that is out of my range. That is why I was hoping a kubvan would come forsale as the few I have seen haven't brought that. Good luck on the sale.

As others have said the IP could be loose. I wrote here last summer stating one of my 3 bolts on the 1.9 aaz came loose and it was pivoting some and milling the belt some. My throttle was up/down though from the twisting back and forth. Truck didn't have this issue with the 1.6 but the IP is leaking from the IP shaft seal (partsplace rebuild so I question the reasons).
