    Well----she gone

    Shipping today my 2005 QC. It's been a ride but with it's age (184,000 mI) and my age (75) its time to pass her along to another. A great big thanks for everyone here that has made my owning her a much better experience. All the help and encouragement has meant the difference in owning...

    Hypothetical Question

    170 thermostat, proper coolant mixture, underdrive pulley and no air in the system. Sitting in traffic with the outside temp at 100 the heat goes to 205. I turn off the AC and turn on the heater and the temp starts down almost immediately. Temp goes to 195ish and turning off heater and...

    Heat Issue

    I try to keep my truck oil and water temp below 200. 210 at the outside. In the Texas heat (95-105) if I run at 60 mph (not happening) all is well but at 70 upward the temp rises to an unacceptable level. Question----will adding a row to the radiator help? Our tanks have two rows but...

    Transmission problem

    My auto would not go into park or reverse. Mechanic found the broken chingale that connects with the neutral safety switch and effects the shift lever. Question, would you change the solenoids as well. Never once giving a problem in over 100K miles. Why fix is it ain't broke?

    An interesting thing with my TPS

    I have reported about the troubles I had with O’Reilly’s and their TPS. 2 bad ones and on the 3rd. I had another issue but could live with it until I got time to fix. When I hit a bump or pot hole that jarred the front end the engine would die. Only for a slit second then run like...

    TPS update

    My TPS went out---replaced with one from O'Reilly. It went bad within a month and they gladly replaced. One month later I replaced it yet again, yesterday. Not a good track record.

    code 123

    Know it is the TPS but that I just replaced. Acting crazy on the highway----smooth then down shifts, then back to normal. In neutral hit the gas and back to idle very slow. Worked fine after the TPS for a couple of weeks now this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Most likely discussed a million times

    but am wondering the approximate cost of building my engine. Forged all that needs forging, cam, heads reworked and anything else it takes to run in the 700 HP range (if that is possible). Rather same the meth for the driver but remember this is gonna be a daily driver again, it that is...

    engine missing

    Will a plug/wire causing a miss always result in a code coming up?

    Surging

    After being on the highway for a few miles when I come to a stop the engine surges until I put it in neutral (auto trans). The surge is not but a 100 rpm or so but there none the less. Put it back in drive and all is well. Any ideas? Thanks

    Plug wires

    152,000 miles with over 100K on these wires I need to replace. When it rains for 2-3 days the beast misses until it drys out. Pretty sure it is the wires as one was messed up and repaired. Dry is seems to be just fine but like me, things are not what they used to be and with this many...

    PM's

    Hmmmm, all of my private messages have been deleted. Is this because I support Venomous 1---Scott? :dontknow:

    SRT-10 mechanic?

    Does anyone know of a SRT-10 mechanic close to Dallas----besides the regular dealerships? Waco is 145 miles away and if it is an overnight job I have to get a motel to boot. Just wondering.

    Would you do this????

    So Scott (Venomous 1) is a bad guy. I am in Kerrville TX and my power steering went out. Actually a bearing (not sure which) froze and stopped the belt from turning. No shops open today and I am unable to work on the beast any longer. Agent Orange and old age took their toll. Scott is...

    radio control on steering wheel

    The left side that controls advancing track or moving on to a new song on Bluetooth is not working. Has any here had yours go out and if so, how hard to replace? Never used it before but installed a Pioneer 8400 and would like to use it now. Thanks in advance.
