    Wheel bearing?

    It was hot enough it melted the little plastic "Saleen" covers right out of the wheel center.

    Wheel bearing?

    Yep! Just glad it didn't break off on the interstate at 80 MPH.

    Wheel bearing?

    When I got the tires put on and they had it on the balance machine you could see a little bit of a wobble to it. I have an extra set of wheels/tires so it wouldn't be money out of pocket on that.

    Wheel bearing?

    I've had some vibration in that wheel for a while and it got worse recently. Today was definitely the worst and I figured I'd check it. Car is parked until I can get the parts. As soona as I saw that much movement I didn't want to be "that guy" on the side of the road with the nose buried in the...

    Wheel bearing?

    So I've been hearing some roaring noise when turning to the right. Today I noticed there was a little bit of a grinding sensation. Jack up the car and the right, front wheel I can move completely up, down, left, right as if the lug nuts are loose. The problem is they aren't. The entire...

    Random Tapping

    Got it done. Did the coolant flush. Had to get the coolant from Ford, no one else carried the right kind.

    Plasti Dip

    Thinking about plasti-dipping my enclosed trailer floor now! The vinyl floor is ripped and coming up. Plus I need to replace some of the wood floor. Now I can just plasti-dip the floor and can hose it out instead of sweeping the dirt out! Wonder how durable it would be though.

    Car Runs Rough When Ac Is On

    I've noticed mine seems to lose quite a bit of power and almost feels like you've jabbed the brakes for a microsecond whenever I turn it on.

    16", 6 Lug 2001-2004 Dodge Dakota / Durango Oem Wheels - Southeast

    NOTE: I have one guy wanting just two of the wheels (spare and one other) so if you want a partial set let me know ASAP! Total of 5, 16” alloy wheels. Came off of a 2002 Dodge Durango but should fit any 6 lug, 4 1/2” bolt pattern. Supposed to fit any 2001-2004 Dakota or Durango. All have...

    Random Tapping

    Got one from AutoZone for $140. Haven't replaced it yet but looks like just a few bolts. Probably do a coolant flush while I'm there since it'll be easuier to take the reservoir off to do the fan install.

    Random Tapping

    Found it today! It was the electric fan behind the radiator. I unplugged it and the noise stopped completely. As soon as I plugged it back in the noise started again. Thanks for all the help guys! I needed plugs done anyway :) Glad it wasn't something more serious at this point.

    Random Tapping

    It happened again today. Got out and it sounds like it's coming from the area around the tensioner pulley on the passenger side. It was really loud. I touched the tensioner and pushed it a little and it stopped. I couldn't get it to repeat to see if it was some how the tensioner. It's a new...

    Random Tapping

    The fluid was only in that one well and haven't washed the engine in months. No heavy rains either. None of the rest of them had it. I'll keep an eye on it in the next few weeks since it doesn't take but about 5 seconds to pull a boot. For some reason I thought you had to remove the fuel rails...

    Random Tapping

    I don't know the cylinders so bear with me :) Left ones are passenger, right are driver. The driver's side, 3rd plug had a lot of something fluid in it. I couldn't tell if it was oil or gas but it had a reddish/brown texture to it but no distinct smell. I was able to make it about 1 to 1.5 turns...

    Random Tapping

    Could be. It had a different IDLE exhaust note than I'm used to also. Sounded a little more raspy like an x-pipe as opposed to the smooth rumble of my h-pipe.

    Random Tapping

    I've got a very random tapping noise. To me it sounds like rockers tapping. It happened before and I could hear it against a drive through wall but went away. Has 113k miles. Noticed a hole in the intake pipe (CAI) a few months ago and patched it. Oil report showed a little higher than average...
