Jacksonville area Tacos..

yeah i am. So my trucks been making a wired grinding sound since sunday when i would start going or stop. I trouble shot it down to the mufler. When im in park and get my rpms up to 800-900 it will do it any higher or lower it stops. and thats the only time it does it is when its in that range. wheather im stoped or moving.

 

Grinding from the muffler? or is it rubbing? or is it more of a rattle sound?

 

its a rattling sound. at first when i was paying attention i thoght it was grinding but as i listen to it its a rattling sound

 

So it's probably vibrating back and forth and hitting something. I don't know without looking at it. I guess just try to see where it's closest to something.

 

well it only does it when its between 800-900rpm

 

Maybe that's when the engine vibrates the most. I know this is totally different but on my lawn mower there is a flap over the hopper that vibrates at idle but doesn't any other time. I guess engines have certain rpms that they put out the most vibration.

 

well im going out the end of the month for 3 weeks and when i get back i will have my tax return so i was gonna go and get new suspension tires and was looking at getting a dual exhaust.

 

Awesome! What suspension were you looking at? A new exhaust would solve your problem most likely Until then a big hammer could probably bend it back.

 

but i am postive that its the mufler cause it does it when im in park so i know its not in the dif. got a few things im gonna do this weekend.

 

I wasn't saying it's the engine that's rattling. I'm thinking that that rpm range is when the engine is the least smooth and puts out the most vibration. Kind of like if you hold a chainsaw and it vibrates in your hands more at certain rpms. And this vibration is causing the muffler to rattle against something. I could be totally far off but from what I hear this is my best bet.

 

not sure yet but i want to replace the spacers up front and get some longer shocks in the back. im looking at doing a few things this weekend. for sure gonna get some pics of the muffler then try to fix it. take my badges off paint my grill rear bumper and my rims.

 

Cool. Good idea.

You are going to have a busy weekend.

 

Yeah that was supposed to be posted before what you said about the muffler. i wasnt trying to disagrre with you i was more stating that thats why i thought it was the muffler.

 

yeah as long as its not to cold out. working on the flight line today sucked balls

 

ok dokey. I thought maybe my stupid analogy was throwing you off.

 

School me. What does flight line mean? Is that like loading up the planes or something?

 

nope not at all. IM gonna look into doing the dif breathe mod also

 

its more of the parking area for them.

 

Seems easy. I ordered the parts recently for it and will do it soon.


Ryan,

I just got a shipping confirmation so maybe this weekend or next we can do it depending upon how fast or slow fedex is. Estimated delivery is friday though. 866852130081934

 

Yeah it was 19 degrees on the flight line this morning and than add the 10 knot wind... it was freezing. oh and than the heat on the plane didnt work until we took off. It was below freezing inside the plane the whole time we were preflighting today!!!
