Thanks for the replies. I called the junk yard down the road and he said he would sell me 2 for $5 if I pulled them myself lol, like that would be hard. :crazy:

My low beams wouldn't work this morning. All other lights worked fine. I checked fuses, all good, and then did the relay swap. Low beams come on. Awesome. So I put the relays back in and the low beams come on. So I must have swapped the relays on accident (I didn't think that I had) but a quick...

well, as it turns out, I can't hear very well. LOL The wife and my oldest boy had a listen and both pointed to the steering pump. I took off the belt and the noise stopped. Man, I could have swore that it was coming from somewhere else LOL.. thanks for the ideas on what to do.

My God that's a huge garage!!! I don't even have a damn carport :frown:

Now that is something I would pay for! I wanna see more!

That sounds like a rocker to me. I don't know if that is your knock or not, but my dad's truck did that as well. Sometimes lasting for a minute or two, but it always went away. It almost always happened after the truck sat overnight. He took it to his mechanic and was told that a rocker needed...

The reason I think something tranny-wise, is because the sound doesn't seem to be coming from the front. If it was power steering pump, wouldn't it change quite a bit when I turn the steering wheel? Maybe the sound is tricking me, I'm sure after years and years of extremely loud stereo in my...

Around 142k. It was changed right before I bought it this past June. It is always with engine rpm.

I have a whine coming from under my TB. It changes in pitch as I change speed and it changes pitch when the tranny shifts. I'm assuming it's coming from the tranny. It does it when in park as well as any other gear. Is this a normal sound or a sign that a fluid needs changed or something? The...

Awesome. Thanks for the responses. I usually just get it changed somewhere, but going to be doing it all myself from now on and just wanted to make sure. :thumbsup:

This may be a dumb question, but is there a way to tell if the oil in an engine is synthetic or not? I ask because I don't know what is in my TB right now and I always use synthetic when the mileage starts getting up. I'm around 141,000 miles now and the oil was changed right before I bought it...

I'm not too sure that this is a "special" method. Welding glass back together is kinda easy if you have the right stuff for it. You take 1 cup of sand, 1 small tube of super glue, a pocket torch (zippo lighter will do in a pinch but takes longer), 3 tablespoons of "roadie" blood, and a few...

Maybe I'm just weird but I love the sound of the I6. I had a '71 maverick with a 200 strait six (it sounded something like a horse farting really loud and really fast). I had a '78 Dodge Aspen that had a strait six in it. It was mean as hell and sounded just like a Harley (mainly because it...

I just jumped over there and I can still log in. I have a private message from sparky lol. No matter for me though, I never plan on gojng there again. I was going to thread-bomb them with links to here, but seen that they have asked us not to do that anymore. oh well, for what it is worth, I...

I'm going to assume that he has a winch pulling helping in that climb. Because if that FJ is really climbing that with just it's 4 wheels, then my once firm grasp of physics will collapse, causing me to re-think everything I have ever known. ...but just in case it's really climbing that...
