    What are you working on?

    I still haven't figured out whats making noise on my truck, compression #s were strong across the board. My mom has expressed interest in using the truck to cart her show goats around. We figure, drive this until it dies and get a "new" engine when and if it goes. My brother is going to...

    I think I'm going to keep it and turn it into a work truck. My mom needs something to haul her goats to goat shows. Might as well go in style!

    Compression #'s are 165-170 across all cylinders and mechanic said oil pressure is decent as well. He said it runs fine, just noisy.

    6 months ago I was pouring over these pages trying to find the perfect cruiser, one that I could put some time and effort into to make my perfect rig. I found it and within a few months realized that I have no time to do anything to anything. Since starting back to grad school in the fall...

    Maybe the end?

    I haven't had time to do anything lately. All of the sudden, grad school homework just took over my life! Hopefully this week I can figure out what's up. My wife is NOT excited by this turn of events....

    :doh:Oh, now I get it. For some reason I always think worst case scenario. Guess that's a side effect of working in an ER. Thanks for keeping my head outta my arse.

    HA! I'm sure it'd be more than just a spark plug ;)

    Maybe the end?

    I didn't get a chance to pull the valve cover but listening w/ a mechanic stethoscope revealed the sound is most prevelant in the top end. If it is a valve clattering, what would I be looking for when I pull the cover? I know the mid 90s VWs had lifter (cam follower) issues and would wipe the...

    I started it up, no big deal. You're right, won't make a difference!

    How to prevent high rpms on startup?

    My truck has a nasty sounding "knock" and I need to pull it into the garage 100yds or so, to do the diagnostic tests. Is there a way to disable the high rpms at startup to prevent making things worse? Or just run it and hope for the best? This already sounds expensive and I don't want to make...

    What are you working on?

    Yeah.... I'm afraid it might be the end of this truck. It's definitely in the top end but I will investigate further Friday morning

    Unfortunately I'm trying to diagnose this noise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YNdAtMOGW8&feature=youtu.be I have a bad feeling it's going to be an expensive fix....

    That's what I'm afraid of. s***.

    Maybe the end?

    I have no issue with that. While driving, it lost a little power when this noise started

    Gotcha. I'll do that first. Thanks for the info so far. I hope this isn't the hg

    Maybe the end?

    I opened the oil cap to look at the oil (not sure why) and the truck almost died. Is that useful? I'll dig into it Friday. I'm starting to be hopeful it's not huge deal.
