    Issue Replacing Water Pump

    The two bottom bolts look like a larger diameter. Good point on starter tip. I haven't seen many of those over the years. Where are they usually used? Maybe on connecting things to the frame.

    Issue Replacing Water Pump

    Do the bottom two bolts look like the threads are a bit damaged to anyone?

    Issue Replacing Water Pump

    Something odd is going on. You can use a regular tap of the correct thread size and try twisting in by fingers only. The tap should go in rather easily. Maybe get a camera in there and send some pictures back. I'm not sure maybe the later gen. engine has a different water pump design...

    Braided ss brake lines for JL4 trucks?

    In some cases, many cases?, the braided aftermarket versions have not been tested and passed the whip test. I would replace with OEM.

    This non-stock "helper" bracket.

    Oil pressure

    FYI - I had the O ring replaced and attempted to install the Summit bracket. The mechanic said the bracket would not fit so just replaced the O-ring. Oil pressure resolved. I'm curious if anyone else got the "bracket" to fit.

    Rough idle when cold then smooth

    I often buy parts at the dealer or get the top from RockAuto. I'm debating if I should replace the intake manifold gasket sort on a preventative basis. The Fel-Pro MS 98016 T set looks like the way to go? The rough idle is not bad and runs good otherwise. No codes/etc. Probably should let...

    Brake Pedal Vibration

    I have the same symptom. If I push the brake pedal sort of fast it pushes/jerks back. I saw a YouTube video where the guy explained that the ABS is sensing a slight difference in front wheel speeds. Can be caused by sensor being slightly lifted by rust. Shows cleaning and reinstalling the...

    Rough idle when cold then smooth

    Thanks all. I'll work on checking the intake for leaks also exhaust chemicals in the coolant. Re. intake gasket replacement. Not sure if I should DIY or have a shop do it. It seems to be a bit fiddley and also might need to consider "while you are in there". E.g. knock sensors.

    Rough idle when cold then smooth

    Hey y'all, For about a year I've had a rough idle or misfire when the engine is cold then when the engine heats up it is smooth. The boron level is going up on my oil analysis (from 50 to 79 in last 3 measurements every 5k miles and now 137 in the last 5k miles). I think this could be a...

    Motor Oil Brand vs Consumption?

    At this point I think most agree that, in general, the full or 100% synthetic oils are better than conventional. I agree with your last sentence. Do the research on oil you have time for and select the best you can get regardless of cost and change every 5000 miles and you will probably be...

    Motor Oil Brand vs Consumption?

    Getting dirty could be a sign of cleaning happening. I have about 800 more miles until 5000 and will send a sample to Blackstone. The last 5 or so changes I've sent samples to Blackstone, this time I'm running the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum per Oil Geek - Lake Speed. He explains what you get with...

    Ticking noise and low oil pressure - SOLVED

    Maybe provide some dash pressure readings at various conditions. Cold Idle Cold Freeway 2k rpm Hot Idle Hot Freeway 2k rpm You can also overfill by one quart and drive down a steep hill and apply the brakes. You might see a jump in pressure. The O-ring is a real thing. Probably could be...

    Oil pressure issue

    Good point. I think it is about 99% you will have broken exhaust bolts sooner or later. I had one (broken bolt) and installed one of those aux. plates. So far so good after 30k or more miles.

    Oil pressure issue

    I have a OBDLink MX+ and an iphone. I think I have the app loaded that is recommended but I understand that other software can be used. This will allow you to look at and graph in real-time many different PIDs. I've had other scanners but I returned them for various reasons.
