My misfire from the other day came back this morning. I admittedly used single electrode plugs last time and have since learned how important it is to run duals in these motors, I even overlooked the damn sticker right on the front of the engine...

Today I swapped in the exact part# plugs mentioned in the owners manual. A little annoying but hopefully that's a wrap on this issue.

 

Negatron haha

 

Good job you dummy!! Haha but for real, rookie mistake. At least you know now

 

Ha thats pretty much how I felt. But it gave me another excuse to go drink beer in the garage so that's a win in my book

For those interested

 

Does this look like the right part from Rockauto? Ive never ordered anything from there. Need a driver side LCA with bushing and everything.

Fffffuuuuuucccckkkkkkk! After the week i just had, somebody shoot me.

Now it's the weekend, so..........

 

Rockauto says it's the right one.
Look it over closely. When I had ordered some from Amazon, you could tell they weren't the same quality as OEM. Shine a light in the holes to look for signs of heavy corrosion inside. Mine also had sloppy welds, shape slightly off, engraved with "made in china", but the seller seemed shady anyway so who knows what he had actually sent me. I returned them after he shipped me 2 right lowers instead of R&L.

 

You guys with taper shims on the rear axle, did it help with the shudder at launch (~5mph)? What angle did you get and which direction did you install (thick end toward front)?

 

Correct

 

Thanks for the heads up

I had 3* axle shims and never experienced any shudder. the fat part was to the rear and tapered forward for me, hope I didnt have them backwards for 4 yrs haha.

 

mine helped. I've been battling my drive line vibe for a long time and recently got it the best it's been, still there, but it's the best it's been. I don't know though. I've grown tired of fuckin woth it.

 

I'll give you a used set of lowers for a set of LCA energy bushings.

 

I appreciate the thought haha, but id like to restart the life clock on set of LCA's, not finish someone else

 

Whatever you say. Are you gonna do the bushings before you put them in?

 

I thought the LCA's come with new everything. Do they not?

 

I'm sure they do. I just didn't know if you were gonna swap them for the stiffer energy bushings?

 

ohhh, idk. not sure what REAL benefit they would provide

 

Jeremy is currently googling energy suspension bushings...



One of those will tell you if you need shims.

 

haha, ive looked into them, I think gideon has some. i just dont know if I would be able to tell, aside from the butt dyno, if any real results came of them.
