    Ruining clutches

    Yea, it seems I'm needing more "warm up" time in the early mornings more and more myself!! I replaced the valve. Not at all difficult but hands are a little cut up getting to the torx screws and cleaning up the valley once again. I ran it for about 10 minutes and no leaks noted. I have about 3...

    Ruining clutches

    Tell me about it. I couldn't tell you the absolute number of packings/o-rings on a UH-60 Blackhawk but we have many more leaks this time of year for sure. We go through them like crazy. I really don't think they need replaced as much as just warming up the equipment will fix it much easier...

    Ruining clutches

    After cleaning the motor and drying out the valley then running it I found the leak to be from the drain. I didn't realize how bad it was leaking. $52, in stock (he told he sold the only two they keep on hand today), at the local dealer. I'm going to change the filter and the valve now...

    Help Needed HPOP oil leak

    I had the o-rings go in my HPOP. Fried my clutch and had to have the thing towed. $250 tow bill for $5 packings. Sucked. New ones should fix it.

    Ruining clutches

    Well, I have fuel in the valley now. Joe, I looked and felt the line on the passenger side head and although it had some residue on it I didn't feel or see it leaking excessively. I am going to clean the motor real good tomorrow and run it and watch for leaks. Fuel bowl drain doesn't appear to...

    Stalling issue

    Friend said tranny fluid was good. Drove it to the delaer and they put it on the 'puter. Said the #1 and #8 injectors weren't performing up to snuff. Gave him some Wynn's stuff to run for three tank fulls. He said it hasn't done it since putting the Wynn's in.......Dirty injectors???

    radar dectors??? what to get

    I wouldn't go anywhere without my Escort 8500x50. I even run it on my Buell. Saves me everyday. Not that I'm a big speeder; I just tend to run a few miles over the limit sometimes.

    Stalling issue

    I have a friend with an '01 w/auto trans. He says when cold everything is normal. Once it gets to normal temp he said it stalls if you stop and then accelerate like from a stop light. He also said that when he gets home and parks in his driveway (with a slight incline up) that as he gets the...

    Ruining clutches

    It forms near the rear of the motor, pretty much right under the bellhousing. When the latest clutch was installed the mechanic told me that there is a slot or hole on top of the bellhousing that allows fluids to get in and get on the flywheel and clutch. You would think a vent would have a hose...

    Ruining clutches

    The drain on the fuel bowl to empty it of water, etc. is the first thing I thought of but I haven't seen any fuel on top of the motor at all. I will see if my dealer can get the part and I'll swap it out. Can't hurt. Thanks!

    Ruining clutches

    I have an issue that I need to fix NOW. Every once in awhile (once a month maybe) my engine will dump fuel overboard. No specific driving traits are associated with it doing this. No particular temps, etc. It just does it when it wants to. I don't notice until after it has sat parked for an hour...

    Axle seals

    Thanks Dave. I'll give her a whirl this weekend. At least the local dealer has 4 in stock just in case I need them. He had hub o-rings, and axle seals waiting for me too. Wow, parts I really need, in stock. What a concept.

    Axle seals

    I am replacing my ball joints again since I went the cheap route last year and used low grade joints instead of Moogs. Got the Moogs here and am ready to do it but I have a question. Do you think my axle seals, which where replaced last year when I did the job the first time, will be ok if I'm...

    Slow Fuel Gauge Response

    My '01 will be full when I get in and turn the key on. However, if I leave it running it will take about 10 minutes for it to register full.

    Going through some changes around here.

    Sorry to hear that Bama. As an owner of two businesses myself I know how you feel. Especially on the expense part of it. So many people think that just because you own your own business you are rich and you are your own boss, etc. Well you are your own boss, but you are also the toilet cleaner...

    Question Ball Joints

    Local Orielly's has Moogs- $46.99 for uppers and $71.99 for lowers. I think that's a little high for the lowers.....

    Question Ball Joints

    I already have. It seems Google reads my mind these days. Very unsettling.... I was just wondering if any sponsors had them or if someone had a line on a place with good prices. I just replaced mine along with new hubs about 1 year ago and they're shot already. Should've bought the good ones...
