    Engine Cooling Fan Frustration

    yes but then to me it sounds like the thermostat opened when the system was full and when it closed it had to release the extra pressure. if the cap was on before that it would release into the overflow. i dont know if you saw and you might already know this but there is a cold level line and a...

    Engine Cooling Fan Frustration

    different then i usually do it. i fill the rad all the way up. fill the overflow to the marked level. start the car with the cap off. top off the rad. wait a few minutes, top off again then close the cap. you were saying the overflow was gushing like a volcano. sounds like a problem to me. it...

    Engine Cooling Fan Frustration

    did you really fill it to the top? cant do that. you only fill the overflow about halfway up to the cold level line.

    pulled codes. came up with 564 ( fan circuit ) and 116 ( ect out of range for self test ). does not really point to a problem but i did run a cylinder balance test and it flashed cylinder 4 twice. thats the same one with the plug that looked different from the rest. i had already tried a new...

    Light Popping/misfire At Part Throttle, Ittermittent

    i will see if there are any codes stored in the morning. i would have thought the light would have come on at least at one point but i have not seen it. can some please answer the part about compression. thats not something that can come and go right? if it was bad compression on one cylinder it...

    Light Popping/misfire At Part Throttle, Ittermittent

    looking for a litte feedback here hopefully can get this figured out. just dropped in a fresh 306 and everything is good but not 100% perfect. i thought it may have been tune related but i started over with a fresh tune also and everything is dialed in according to the wideband and kams. i had...

    wheel hop. differential chatter, maybe clutch chatter?

    i was spinning the diff by hand while in there and it did not seem to be clunking around. i guess under load it could be a different story. im pretty sure its both sides though. can i rule out this being a clutch/flywheel problem transferring back to the rear? another thing to add every once and...

    wheel hop. differential chatter, maybe clutch chatter?

    they are aftermarket. 6 new bushings. i did not do the axle bushings. they are a few years old but looked ok. i guess it might be a good idea to pull the control arms and take another look

    wheel hop. differential chatter, maybe clutch chatter?

    i dont have them anymore so its not as easy as going out and bolting them on to try it. if i had them i would give it a shot. i would buy them but i dont have the brackets that mount to the body and new ones wont come with them. also most of the time when wheel hop occurs its under hard...

    wheel hop. differential chatter, maybe clutch chatter?

    should i be looking at the differential as being the problem or can it possibly be a clutch/flywheel problem?

    wheel hop. differential chatter, maybe clutch chatter?

    no wheel hop for 5 years. you think it would just start happening now from removing the quads. not likely but thanks anyways.

    wheel hop. differential chatter, maybe clutch chatter?

    it did this before changing the fluid also. hanes manual says 80-90 so thats what i used. i did add the friction modifier. is it even possible for the clutch to be causing this problem or not likely?

    wheel hop. differential chatter, maybe clutch chatter?

    no quads. been running without them for over 5 years now without a problem. a few more details to add. control arm bushings and trans mount are only a few months old. engine mounts are tight. no play in the drive shaft. everything appears to be tight. i had my neighbor watch what was going...

    wheel hop. differential chatter, maybe clutch chatter?

    need a little help here. it happens when backing out of a spot or driving at slow speeds. mostly around turns and in parking lots. it only happens when engaging the clutch. if i disengage the clutch while its happening it stops. seems like if you try and drive it normally is when it happens. i...

    s spring

    s spring

    having a bit of trouble getting this thing back in. im thinking about pulling the differential out and removing the ring gear for more clearance. i would mark the ring gear so it can go back in the same spot. if i do that can i just put the differential back in and finish up with the install or...
