Re: New from North Carolina #2893 sweet another member near me. i live in hickory. maybe we can meet up sometime.

Re: Blk/Blk SGT and Ty in NC i'm up here in hickory with 92 ty 2148. i just don't do much speaking on here. most of the knowledge is already here, i just search.

Re: What do I search for? i remember when me and christian did the brakes on my truck (before it was mine) he just went and got the entire axle out of an ss camaro and started robbing parts.

Re: Oil pressure went sky high! is it possible the clunking is maybe a driveline issue. maybe a cv is dying or the prop shaft or something. just a guess since i've never heard the noise. pull the clip on the wastegate and run it n/a and see if it still does it. is it a pop, rattle, bang...

Re: Oil pressure went sky high! to open a filter without an opener and without making a ton of metal shavings here is what i do. take the filter and drive a hole in the bottom side (i always use a punch) and allow it to drain a little while. next i turn it on its side on a stable surface. on...

Re: Ugly Syclone ?? :barf: somebody is obviously proud of it. looks like it's sitting on a turn table at a dealer.

Re: Syclone #560 Blown Motor thats funny, i said the same thing when i saw it. snapped a picture this past summer when it was still in the hands of the previous owner. chrome camaro wheels on a syty FTL!!!

Re: Syclone #560 Blown Motor dude, i've worked on this truck a few times. had a bunch of vacuum problems the owner wouldn't let me fix so he dumped it to a local high end used dealer. was for sale at a place called cosmo motors here in town. send me a pm if you're close to hickory and i'll...

Re: awesome banging noise same thing happened here. same noise. to confirm put truck in gear with parking brake set or wheel chocked and the a/c on. the only true way to check engine condition is to pull the oil filter (gravy) and cut it open. i do this once every 1500 miles. you get an...

Re: Still Trying.. (One Last Shot pt2) this may have been mentioned and maybe not. i don't post on here usually because most of the knowledge is just a search button away. i had some problems many years ago when i was using spark plugs that were non-resistor type. maybe if the plugs are of...

Re: air passage through blow off valve i had a ssqv on my boosted 240sx and it had a adjustment on the back. i think the new models may not but i haven't purchased a bov since then.

Re: air passage through blow off valve yeah, a BOV needs a boost/vac source to work properly. boost + spring pressure on the diaphragm hold it shut and a sudden spike in vacuum on the diaphragm plus positive pressure on the charge air pipe side forces it open.. if no boost is present all you...

Re: Heater Core Hold Down Strap &*%*%#& when I did mine I used a flex shaft with a magnetized bit and a little bosch impact driver. or do it redneck style and tape it to the bit or screwdriver. and taking the front passenger seat out makes it WAAAAAY easier. well worth taking 4 nuts off.

Re: nats caravan yeah, I'm planning on going. christian just told me he has to work and I'm not makin that drive alone. the earliest I can leave is about 3:30 pm on thursday. you might wanna add about another 30 minutes to that drive. they're repaving i40 here in hickory. if someone wants...
