Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

any one have an idea why i would have a slight jerk in my steering wheel around 45mph? Tires are balanced so i can rule that out.

its a GP why wouldn't it?

well i thought i had more supsension issues, no damn enigine bracket dog bone bracket was loose. like it almost fell out of place when i took off the doggybone, Now i solved the wierd noise i had on take off now what would ma wobble be. i was thinking tie rods maybe

U can test the tie rods. Jack the car up and grab at 9 and 3 and push and pull see if the tire wiggles

well then thats what ill be doing today, marines you ever clean your tb out? I thought my car was running good, i was wrong. So now i need more improvements

Yeah. Tires ok? No cupping etc?

Cleaned TB Friday and so far car starts fine and runs alright. Yesterday I took the pinstripes off. Tonight if it doesn't rain, I will be finishing the process with de-badging the trunk and giving it a nice coat of wax.

yup noone that crazy stuff, old tires where worn even so no idea here. im most glad i got rid of the metal grinding noise when i take off though

installed a stock front exhaust manifold to replace the funky zzp PLOG I have. Was using a torque wrench and still managed to snap yet another bolt, now that makes two out of six that are snapped. FML but yet there is no leak from the manifold area, just where it connects to the cross over pipe. Thats todays job to figure out.

Did a couple things new phantom guage picked up for free. And blacked out the symbol and chrome . Still got to do the bottom and has anyone ever seen the kbb Gxp picture? A Gxp spinning lol they did it right lol

how'd you black out the chrome?

Got my trans cooler in the mail today. Part # Hayden: 1403 Medium duty driving.


It must have got dinged during shipping, so I bent the fins back. Before:

After:

I can't say I agree with these numbers, but keeping your trans below 220°F is a good thing, and will extend the life.

The application chart:

How much does something like that cost?
