Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Thanks I'll give it a try, I'm sure I'll get it. I replaced my dad's rear o2 in his ram and used a propane torch to get it out.

Lots of KR.

Pulleying back up to stock and ignoring the damn thing.

Didn't clay tell you to do that a while back? Leave the 3.5 on and get a plog or headers.

i hear pop pop boom there goes the piston lol

installed a new rad, then did a round of blue devil. i must say 30 minutes in and the exhaust has less of a smell to it. cant say i feel any HP pick up or anything, but seems to be running happy, as MPG are up already in a short drive.

engine is running a bit hotter now now but i think thats due to the 5/8 core vs the 1 inch i used to have.

maybe the temp will come back down tomorrow, it was thoroughly heat soaked form idling. running at the 1/2 way mark with no t stat for a hour.

well you got all the air out so it should be much happier and not leak for a long time. now i said that mine will pop lol

ill know if that damn puddle is under my over flow tank on the ground. that tank has been over flowing since i got the car, bubbles in the rad when revved, i see no bubbles now, so thats good right? lol

i really hope the mpg stay up, i reset it while driving back streets, (cause it was reset to zero, battery unhooked) it went right to 20 mpg avg, then after a few pulls it dropped to 16, then i took it on a maybe one mile high way run at 60 mph all nice like, and it went up to 18.8 or some crap like fast. it never did that before. not that fast anyway.

I am in the midst of washing it. I got it mostly done, stopped to eat dinner real quick. Just need to do the wheel wells then decide if I am going to do spray detailer or just leave it be.

Well it survived f2 tornado winds with hail no damage, round 2 tonight more storms. Glad its not near any trees.

Tired of dumping money at crap that may or may not fix the KR... since almost nothing I've tried has ever really fixed it. I do know pulleying up will solve it... I'll trade 20 crank hp anyday to avoid chipped pistons

Considering stock cars usually knock too on the stock pulley there's still that chance

I had zero KR until pulleying down. the 1.9's and a new tune helped kill the KR, but only in cold weather. Now that it's warmer, it's KR'ing like hell.

You went from a stock 3.8 to a 3.5 with just rockers and an intake??? No wonder you are seeing KR and just bc someone else has done it doesnt mean your car will like it, they all respond differently.. how much are you seeing?

Replaced the inner tie rods and got an alignment. If anyone ever has to replace them definitely rent the tie rod tool or find a way to get one cuz your not going to get them off without it lol

check, and check lol

at first it really looked like i could get a wrench in there but couldn't get any kind of torque on it so had to go get the tool, it sucked to get off but the tool did make it a lot easier
