So unfortunately I replaced the motor 50k miles back with a Jasper, which has worse gas mileage and low oil pressure. I regret it, as it was probably lifter tick or at worst a cracked piston skirt but as it was my only vehicle I panicked and spent the money on it. What I'm not clear on is what...
Just a quick double check. Recently gunned my 98 (233k miles) merging and had a horrible metal noise that required a tow later. In trying to replace a chewed up belt while waiting for the tow, noticed the harmonic balancer had drifted into the fan belt. Fortunately only that. But over the...
Yeah you've got to be careful, I went about 6 months a brake shop, a desert shop, and my own mechanic chasing down an improperly done drum job. First guys didn't install the adjuster right, which wound up causing semi-rubbing breaks turning into some smoking and serious shuddering 400 miles...
Generally happens when having driven a whole lot of miles at highway speed, say 50+. As I come to a stop, just in the last couple miles per hour (<5) there is a high pitch descending whine from mid to rear vehicle. Given how slow I'm going it's puzzling. It sounds like something doing 100-200...
The Crowns have been fine so far for me, as factory style with the giant triangle of rubber rather than the cyclinders of harshness. I think I have 5 years on them? Haven't looked at them lately to look for wear but everything sounds and rides right.
Good thread to check in on. I still have my original exhaust, which has has ubiquitous spot rust since forever. '98. I've worried about the need to replace the cat a couple of times over the last decade, but haven't yet. Am I right that the downstream O2 sensor would send a code if it was...
Original driver side seat belt is only retracting 80%. Would replace but of course no available parts. Is this something that could be safely fixed with lubrication disassembly or no? I don't want to mess with safety here but with parts (un)availability it's tricky.
Just to add a tidbit of information. If I had to guess, the change in resistor values was to be able to use IEC E series resistor values (standard). The previous values were pretty weird looking, while the new ones look very familiar to anyone familiar with electronics.
I had similar symptoms after redoing my battery cables. I would accelerate and the motor would drop out for a second. Or hit a bump a particular way and same. Or be in a banking turn. Turns out the wire to the alternator had been fraying against the motor mount and had worn away the...
