Flex plate?
My wife can't decide what to do, seeing as its actually her truck AND her money. We could fix it again (putting a third engine in this thing, and way more money than we paid for it.) Or buy some other used vehicle, that may or may not also crap out in a few months.- Draq

Flex plate?
So he said its acting like the motor is seizing. He said he'll investigate more tomorrow, they've been backed up with the summer rush. It could be a dented oil pan, but he said he'll pull the torque converter and flexplate and that should tell us a lot.- Draq

Flex plate?
My gauges have been normal from what I remember. Except my temp gauge wasn't working after the engine swap, but checking my radiator often yeilded a full level.- Draq

Flex plate?
OK guys, so my '87 'burb 454 had a metallic hollow knock/bang one day. Got under it and am 85% sure it was coming from the bell housing, which strongly suggests flex plate. Well driving to work a day or two later (literally about 5miles away) there's a metal breaking sound, and the engine goes...- Draq

Hey guys
I moved from one tiny town with a train running right thru, to this one. No biggy. I might enjoy it more if my damn truck ran right. Here before too long I should be able to do just that.- Draq

Hey guys
Thanx. I actually went out and started it. It didn't want to turn over, but finally it did. Still made that really concerning noise, and ran really rough. I immediately shut it off, but it DID run.- Draq

Hey guys
I think you mean square shape. Lol. Thanx guys. If I had a little more experience I'd just tear it apart and do the autopsy myself...- Draq

Hey guys
Everyday I walk outside and see it I think 'aw its so awesome' then I get really pissed off cuz it doesn't work... Its pretty mint though especially the interior. The windshield sprayers still work, and it still has all 4 factory hub caps.- Draq

Hey guys
Sweet, thanx. The temp gauge WAS working so I think its something small. I do want a tach gauge though, always good to have another measurement of engine condition. Funny .. Before my truck, I was a ford guy, but now I've become a lot less biased.- Draq

Hey guys
Basicly. Fell in love with it instantly. Went from mild acknowledgement of square bodies to full blown favorite. If it happens to one more motor, I may have to get rid if it though. :_(- Draq

Hey guys
My mechanic didn't autopsy the first engine, and I don't have the money to have this one looked at. Hopefully when I do I can get my money back on it if it wasn't something i did( which I honestly don't think it was.)- Draq
