Could be the transfer case, because it only made that sound in gear (aka when the output shaft would be spinning, and the shifter did seem to still be working (aka car only makes terrible noise in Drive, and Stopped when I put it in park) Didn't try reverse or anything. I figured if it is...

Car has been running great, and I pulled way from a stop sign normally, not even using any real gas and I heard/felt a thunk as I was accelerating and I started hearing metal/metal noise from the tranny tunnel. Engine was free spinning no problem there. Got about 10 ft and had to pull over...

I wanted to bump this thread up. My old man has a 99 Escalade (same car as mentioned above with the tahoe and suburban) he is running I foget which tires but they are not off road tires at all. I think they are called michellin MTXs they are great on road tires. My sister has a 3rd gen...

I actually had a buddy at a local subaru shop give it a whirl and his scanner pulled 2 codes C1223 Malfunctioning ABS System and C1246 Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor The code actually went off on its own, on the way to the dealership Lol isnt that typical but the codes were still stored...

Bump While we're at it ever since I did the pads/rotors on this car it has zero stopping power. The pads just dont bite for ****. The pads and rotors were OEM. You just dont get a reassuring feel from the brakes and need to really step on it to get it to stop. Bled the brakes a month later to...

Bumpin this up Anyone at least have ideas on how to diagnose this. Some private garages want to check it out and charge obviously an hour of diagnosis, but as far as I can tell with my OBD2 scanner I have about the same ability as your average shop to diagnose issues. If I cant pull the...

My GF got her passenger side mirror clipped in the parking lot the other day and I got a replacement from the junk yard. If I open the door I can see one of the bolts holding the mirror in place and the other 2 I know I'de need to take the door panel off to get to. I've done quite a few...

Excuse me.. If you think putting the car into a slide in a controlled situation to learn car control is either wrong or stupid you can consider it the pot callin the kettle black, and may contribute to reason your having issues to begin with.

To get this car bent out of shape or swapping ends.. you have to be doing something very wrong. Time to find a big empty parking lot next winter and try to purposly get the car bent ouf shape and figure out how to recover the slide. When I did this with my GFs 4unner I couldent get the car...

Hey guys I did the rear rotors/pads on my girlfriends 03 v8 4runner and after getting that done I figured I should prob bleed the brakes since its prob still the original fluid. Anyway I have a hand vacume bleeder and I hook it up the the rear passenger bleeder screw, build up some vaccume and...

Wow that looks perfect. Good save. So can I use a scan gauge with this thing at all without tripping lights? Scangauge says its compatible with all cars
