Weather is heating up and an AC issue has raised its head. When the car is warm and I am at a stop for more than 30 seconds or so, it starts to make a very loud grinding noise. Is this compressor? Not enough refrigerant?
I've done a few searches and it appears I am not the only one with lower bushing issues on my 5160's. Bushings are shot and the shocks rattle around. Very frustrating, they have only been on the truck for 14 months.
Is there a solution?
I’m trying to diagnose an AHC issue on an 08 LX that I’d like to buy. Truck is in great condition otherwise.
ACH works, raises and lowers all 4 corners but the ride is incredible harsh and bouncy. Seems like the rear is the main culprit. The seller claims just the rear shocks need to be...
I noticed some water intrusion through the sunroof I am trying to work through. The glass wasn't closing all the way due to the seal bowing out a bit and not allowing glass to seat properly. I ordered new weatherstripping and started to remove the old, only to realize the main issue was...
I've been spending some time reading through exhaust threads trying to figure out how best to move forward. I think I'm settled on the DT headers, but from there I have some questions... Is there an available header-back exhaust system? I would like something pretty quiet, so I think the DT...
I’ve been trying to track down a rattle for quite some time. thought it was a heat shield or skid plate, maybe something loose in the engine bay... but I think it’s actually the hood. Specifically in the front where it doesn’t seem like it can close right enough to not rattle. Any thoughts on...
I have a terrible creaking and popping from what seems to be the front right wheel well. I can bounce the car to replicate the creaking, and the popping seems to happen when the weight transfers from side to side, typically when loading the right side. Everything in the front suspension is new...
I’m in the process of installing a rear camera on my 2000. I have the passenger rear panel removed and access to the wiring harness. I can find the reverse bulb wire, but I also want a constant power source for the camera. Any suggestions? I have rear air if that makes any difference.
I recently installed a Sony Apple car play head unit using the Crutchfield harness that maintains factory amp. Whenever I turn the car on, regardless of the unit being set to tuner, the antenna raises. I can lower it down 90% of the way, but I’d prefer the original function of all the way down...
My tire swingout spindle failed today while driving down the highway. Bumper is BIOR purchased back in 2012
The arm fell off and bounced down the highway. It took me a bit to realize what happened, I'm not sure if it caused an accident or not. I turned around to find it and was in left lane...
Recently I'm having a really strange starting issue. When I'm in park, I turn the key to ACC all the electronics function as normal, but when I turn it to start... it doesn't fire the starter. Sometimes if I turn it a few times it'll fire, sometimes if I hold it on start it'll hesitate and...
I had another thread entitled heater issues, but the issue is with the fan clutch not the heater.
There doesn't seem to be any great threads about this issue or how to remedy it. It seems as though my fan clutch is sticking. I get a vicious roar on startup even in cool ambient temps. This...
My cruiser sounds like an 18 wheeler right now, it seems it's blowing a ton of air. If I rev the engine it seems to go away, but that could just correspond of the coolant getting to 190. So I guess my question is does something with the heater shut off at 190?
I have read a few threads about this warning light, but none seemed to be just like my issues.
The light came on while driving Saturday. Battery voltage was around 14 on the dash and was steady, no worries. Yesterday it was slow to turn over but while driving, the meter showed 14v. This...
What are typical exhaust temps? I feel like mine are too high, but I haven't put an actual thermometer to it. I'm talking gas temp at the tailpipe. I can't even walk past it without feeling like I'm going to get burned. Vehicles in the past I can hold my hand to it and the gas feels almost cool...
I've done it a few times with limited success. Caught a few on the fly and a few on rooster tails. Does anyone else venture over there to catch some trout?
I bought the rear shocks for my hundy but never got around to installing them. I am going a different route with the shocks and looking to sell these. They have all the necessary bushings. $70 shipped to your door.
has anyone does this before? I tried to pop out a rather large ruh roh but the isn't enough space behind it to get it to pop. I'm thinking about removing the fender but not sure how involved or difficult that would be.
I finally got some sliders for the ol' cruiser. I had a local cruiser guy w/ a body shop build them for me. They are somewhat similar to existing designs except the kickout has an angle to it so it blends with the main tube. I'll report after their first test this weekend, headed to Disney...
