I am considering purchasing an 86 interstate. I know the 84s thru 87s had stator issues, but I thought that one of the years was exempt from that. Am I wrong?
I was under the impression that only the 84/85's had the problem, and one of those years even had a factory re-call. My stator crapped out on my way home during my first trip to Georgia with only 55K on the clock. Lucily I was close, and the battery got me to the driveway. :shock:
Don't let the stator put you off from 1200 owner-ship. It's not an impossible job to replace. Even more-so if you go the "POOR BOY" route. The interstate is a great ride, of course I'm just a little Biased.... :gunhead:
