finally found the tool set to set the timing, as well as a full timing component kit, unfortunately the tool set is back ordered till mid-next month. went and bought the wife a GMC Terrain, only half the power of the LSE, but gets twice the fuel mileage and will run fine on regular gas. Now Im...

now that i think about it, you are correct, not sure why i was thinking it was all internal in the compressor, probably losing my mind,...

they are not visable at the moment, but i have not had a chance to crank anything, dont have access to the crank pulley yet and the weak-ass motorcraft battery was dead the morning after I parked the car

i use permatex ultra black for almost everything and never really had a problem

I managed to find time to tear into the motor a little more today, the drivers side valve cover is off, as well as all the plastic shrouds and cowlings on the front of the engine bay, debating on having the AC evacuated and pulling the condenser/oil cooler/radiator stack-up out for more elbow...

I'm 99% sure that the exhaust cam on the driver' side skipped a tooth, either that or a valve came unseated. I can hear clattering coming from the second cyl from the front. (cyl. 6 if the chart i found is correct) it clatters on startup, and then again about 1700-2500 rpm. I haven't taken it...

Here is some general AC knowledge for y'all: First, R-134 is refrigerant, not Freon, and definitely not "coolant", coolant is mixed with water and circulates between the radiator and the engine to keep engine temperature at a tolerable level If your compressor is NOT running, your refrigerant...

a P0xxx code is a universal OBDII code, means the same thing on every year make and model 1997 and newer, (i would say '96, but ive seen cars that have '96 build dates and no serial data port) A P1xxx code on the other hand is manufacturer specific. Keep in mind that these codes are not...

do yourself a favor and order them from a wholesaler like rock auto, other wise you will end up paying $50-$60 a pop, and only find 2-3 at any one parts store

Alright I'm fairly new here and havent had time to sift through pages and pages of posts, I did run a search and found nothing relevant, at least not on the first few pages. I have, or rather my wife has, a 2002 LSE with a bunch of issues, most bothersome being that it seems to have either...

I've seen a few red ones, matter of fact my wife's aunt has a red '03 v-6 now that i think about it. I cant say i remember ever seeing a green one though.

did my 1st gen in a parking lot, took me and a buddy about 3hrs start to finish, the biggest PITA is getting it out. you just gotta wiggle it and twist it and yank a little

timing component kit is ~$175 on rockauto.com or is it a goner?

was this a 3.9 or 3.0?

Oh and sometimes you DO forget a bolt, even though you swear you have them all

I've dropped a few transmissions on a lot of different vehicles, RWD, FWD 2WD, 4x4,... Sometimes they pull right apart, sometimes you spend an hour swearing you forgot a bolt, but its just seized, use a prybar or a big screwdriver

apparently forums in Canada are different than forums here in the US, Every forum I have ever been a member of has been full of @$$holes, smart@$$es, and quite a few dumb@$$es. if you want to win the internet you have to have thick skin, he wasn't making fun of you personally, he doesn't even...
