Hi, I am wondering if anybody in the northern NJ area has a block pressure testing kit? I'm in the middle of my second headgasket fix: first @ 88k and second @ 120k. I just want to rule out any bigger issues. Also, just had my heads skimmed @ 88k do you think I need to do it again?
Just one...
Has anyone purchased a Gates 74 mm medal tensioner pulley part #36102 for 2003 DII? Looks and feels good but I don't trust the auto parts store I purchased it from.
I seem to be having a similar issue. I did my hg myself at 80K. I had the machine shop skim, clean and rebuild. Now a 120K they are leaking again. I'm wondering if the gasket themselves could be the issue in both of our cases. I remember when I installed the head gasket that one of the metal...
I have a 2003 DII SE. It has never overheated, when the heads got machined they installed the temp. taps on the back of the heads and those are still good. Never checked for a slipped liner, but I think I would have a noticable knock along with other issues. The engine runs perfect, but the...
I'm thinking of doing a second head gasket job. First was at 80K and now I have 120K with a few small coolant leaks. Is there any permanent fix for this? I've read that the head bolts may have to be re-torqued after a certain amount of time? I had the heads worked on by a machine shop...
Thanks for all your help! I still have the vibe even after a rebuild and balanced front prop shaft. Now, in addition, I get a vibration and noise at idle with the car still in gear. When I take it out of gear the noise goes away. Any ideas what would cause this? There is also some play on the...
Well I'm finally getting around to figuring out this vibe. After being told by a few people that these driveshaft cannot be rebuilt and I needed to purchase a new ds, I descided to rebuild mine. I also got it rebalanced. I still have the vibration under power. I just finished a 3200 mile road...
Thanks guys I will get the shaft balanced and check the tires. I already changed the u-j. I have one more question. Is there suppose to be a harmonic balancer in the front on my DII? If so I don't think I have one. I think there is one on the rear diff. Does it look like couple of 5 lbs weights...
I did replace all of the u-joints and the ball joint. I did notice that there seemed to be a missing weight on the drive shaft though. It was just a little rusty square spot. There is a weight on the other end of the shaft. Should I have the balance checked? I was talking to a mechanic and he...
Truck is bone stock. We've had this issue for some time. I do remember it was there with the original tires and now these newer ones. It is getting worse and more frequent. The truck is an SE and does not have air adjustment. We have 85K on her. Lots of highway miles. Thanks
How's the Skiing...
What's the best way to find the cause of some drive line vibration on an 03 DII? I don't have the center diff lock. The vibe seems to only happen or is most noticable around half throttle and around 25-40 and 70mph. I just did a head job and replaced my front u-joint. The vib is still there...
