    motor mounts

    Motor mounts won't affect power. mainly just notice the engine rock more when given throttle. A loss of power and vibration sounds like a dead cylinder

    Rebuildable 208?

    I pulled my trans thinking that it had went out but upon seeing that it was in good shape i turned my attention to the 208. cracked it open and found one heck of a mess on the magnet. Looks like the input bearings went and allowed the shaft to slide forward and start grinding into the case. I'm...

    Sm465 noise

    Well yesterday the trans went out. Nothing in any of the gears. It is now pulled apart, but i don't know what to look for. The only thing i see wrong is that i can wiggle the input shaft. i'll see if i can post a picture.

    Sm465 noise

    Is there a set of gears connected to the output shaft that are always in contact? It seems too rhythmic to be a bearing. I could be wrong though

    Sm465 noise

    Definitely related to speed. Other than the noise it drives fine. Doesn't pop out of ear or anything weird. Is a press needed to replace the output bearing?

    Sm465 noise

    The other day while driving my tranny started making a whirring sound. I know it is full of fluid because i just replaced the clutch. It has now become more of a rattle. It makes noise only when moving. clutch in/out whether it is in gear or not. any ideas as to what wore out?

    engine missing when given gas

    plugs all looked okay. it has new wires on it and the cap and rotor looked okay as well. she idles just fine. could running on just the primary circuit of the carb cause this? the pop comes from the exhaust. maybe the distributor moved? i dont have a timing light to check it though

    engine missing when given gas

    Alright guys. My dd is acting up on me. Stock 350 with a quadrajet. When pulling off the highway today my truck lacked power and would sputter when trying to accelerate. I pulled over and revved the motor to a sustained rpm around 3000 and it would miss randomly and pop on occasion. I checked...

    Brake issue

    I had to replace the master cylinder on my truck a few weeks ago. Thing is when i got the new one on the brake lines did not fit in the previous spots. the line that was in the front only fit into the rear spot and vice versa. I then had a wheel cylinder go bad 3 weeks later, so i replaced...

    Brakes come and go?

    After taking a closer look with a friend, the rear reservoir is going down slowly when the brakes are pumped. The fluid is leaking from between the master cylinder and booster. What is wrong here? I called autozone to get a quote on a master cylinder and they asked whether i had jb6 or jb7. what...

    Brakes come and go?

    Yesterday a car pulled out in front of me and i had to get on the brakes pretty hard. Not even close to locking up the tires though. Since then the brakes have felt really weird. Twice it has gone to the floor, but the pedal came back when i pumped it. The pedal will slowly go down if I'm at a...

    Wacky Wipers

    After work one day it was raining, so i went to turn the wipers on. They made a jolt and then sat still. I got out and helped them back and forth a few times, until they went on their own. I've been doing this for about a month now, and I'm tired of explaining to people why i'm "warming up my...

    Coolant in cab?????

    So the hose clamps that attached to your heater core were loose? I dont have anything dripping under the hood. It must be a fairly small leak, as the radiator is still full. thanks for the input guys.

    Coolant in cab?????

    After driving my truck in the rain the other day i saw the passenger side floor pan had water streaks and a small puddle. I figured it was rain water and let it go, but today on a clear day i saw the same thing. I put some on my finger tip and tasted it. It was sweet and definitely coolant. So...
