older cattys that I have had with engine noise some were from wrist pin noise which can sound upper engine at times. I have also seen my fair share of cam lobes wore down. At idle it will run well. At higher rpms it will float the valve train, back fire, pop threw the t/b. It being a wet sleaved eng...

sorry for the late post, yes we can help my computer skills are to say the least lacking Ill need a fax # i wouldnt have a clue how to scan then post it to the forum. this info is straight out of the chrysler 45 or 545 rfe school overhaul manule either one there the same as far as the ck. balls go. ...

tim your right I got my goesintos backwards. a neg. fuel trim indicates the pcm is reducing the amount of fuel to correct a rich condition. sorry dad its been a long morning.

wow being the 3rd shop to look at this one I can imagine its a treat. Its also an opertunity to make a customer for life and let your shop look a step above the others. It sounds like your getting there with the maf I am assuming you have replaced the o2sensor and the fuel trim is still at -25% how ...

tim it may sound simple but unplug the o2 the pcm should default to .5v, if it does that will ck wireing. while your replacing the o2 dont forget to ck. for restricted exhaust while your there. i do agree with steven in that if you have a crk, no start and you unplug the maf and it starts thats part...

well acouple of differant things I would first ck. the flywheel. if that is in good working order the other thing that comes to mind is tq shudder. 604 trans had issues with there tq going in and out of lock up causing a shudder. apx. 45mph with the scan tool watch for tcc engagment in the datastrea...

Tim if it were a chrysler, dodge or jeep, the spec is 5" in dia. in 30 min. that's for a warr. repair. personally if it hits the ground they get an est.

just be careful, I wouldn't want you to fix there seepage then complain because its seeping again and its a normal condition. good luck

you would ck. glow plugs if it had them. a 5.9 cumins has a heater grid in the intake which super heats the air going into the intake and then heats the fuel via the filter houseing for cold starts usually if the heater grid is bad it will start but have a rouf idle until it warms up I guess if both...

pascals law states fluid preasure in a confind area, is equal threw out the area ,so yes the presures on the frt calapers should be the same, this system is a diagonaly split system if your frt right is haveing problems I would also ck. the left rear wheel cyl. we had issues with them leaking and ca...

Im a little out of my comfort zone with this one. Customer calls states they think the starter is out of there. lexus ok ill be there today for pick-up. i get there the battery is dead no problem i load it up get it to the shop. put a battery charger on it till its fully charged. while trying to sta...

you are correct to ck. volumn not preasure on the low side fuel system. if its to spec. make sure you have + or - 500 psi on the high side youll find a set point for the high side in the data stream. if your lower on the high side and its taking a little time to build up high side preasure you can c...

one station its the one I like. My house my rules

Great point steven I would if you havent already skin back the wire in question about 6" from the ecm connecter so you can solder and shrink tube it back togeather. then ck it it should give you your 5v after its isolated if you still have 17.7v then stevens right ecm is trashed. if it is find your ...

Tim I have had issues in the past with this system what i found was the sprinter vans have to sit not running for apx. 1/2hr for the oil to drain from the injection pump and upper engine. then you can get a correct reading I have had good luck with letting them sit filter off for apx. 1/2hr to drain...

garbage in garbage out, ck for exccessive voltage applied if your getting 17.7 output after the ecm reduces it I would be curious what the voltage applied is. I guess you could fill up a library with the shi!!!! I havent seen. but thats a new one on me. I have access to chrysler dealer connect Ill c...

sorry ric i havent had any at all in the shop. havent got a clue.

I have had the misfortune to work on too many of these wonderfull vans but never replaced the heater core.
it looks expensive. good job

that is the only way i will use a used part, i have had to many engines fail on start up. its a great feeling to r/r the engine in a grand cherokee or a 01 durango 4x4 hit the key to have every rod and main in the dang thing starts hammering. then try to tell the customer they have to pay again. it ...

I have not tried to install a 3.2 yet with the 3.5s with my instalation all i did was use the engine harness and computer from the donner car, mine being a police cruser i basicly took everything from under the hood of the cruser trans contrller,pcm engine harrness and all. i did have issues with th...
