BassAckwards' AWD Turbo 2TR-FE

Me too, ive decided im gonna give LCE another chance to make it right if it ends up being the flywheel.. hoping if i can eliminate the issues and definitively place the flywheel as the cause of the issues, they might be willing to let me return it for a refund.

Lol, who am i kidding, im pretty sure theyll give me the finger.. again..

 

What do you guys think? I am almost certain this is going to cause a balancing issue.. Guys at napa grinded into the flywheel material when trying to remove an alignment dowel

 

WTF.... Seriously? I hope they are trying to make it right. If it wasn’t for bad luck, you wouldn’t have any luck at all man.

 

Thats what im saying.. i didnt notice it until a few minutes ago, but they didnt even mention it when i picked it up. Shouldve looked it over a lot closer while i was there obviously.

No kidding mang, id rather have no luck.. this bad luck is getting old

 

I’d have it over first thing and make them eat it.

 

Man you gonna have all kinds of shakes with that. Ya you need to go back an have them replace it.

 

Ill be there when the doors open tomorrow morning. Fkn ridiculous

 

Thats what i was thinking too. No way im putting that in when vibrations are why im pulling the old one out

 

If they don't want to replace mine, I can just push for a refund and buy this one for 63 bucks. Cost 60 bucks to have it resurfaced

Idiots

 

Well napa fkd me. Got 20 bucks back but they flat out refused to give me any more of a refund. They said theyd give me 50 bucks off a new flywheel, but they were gonna charge me 170 for it, so itd have to fork out another 120, um no thats not gonna fkn happen when i can buy one online for 80 bucks shipped.

Decided im gonna pull the trans again today and try installing this one to see what happens. I got to thinking and there is half a dowel in there that they couldnt get out right by where it was ground down on so maybe those will counteract one another. Worst comes the worst, ill drop the trans for a 5th time and replace the flywheel and pressure plate. Im just about fed up with this thing. Hope i catch a break at some point, just want my damn truck to run normally

 

Damn, we really need a dislike button sometimes. I’d never set foot in there again.

 

Agreed! I am very disappointed..

I put the stock flywheel back in just a little while ago.. doesnt seem to be any new vibrations from it, but the old ones are still there. I did notice while i had it apart and was cleaning the pressure plate, that the piece that the splines go through was a little loose/had a little play in it. I was pretty disappointed when i saw this because i figured it was likely the cause of the issues. Took the truck for a test drive and still have the same problem, just seems like maybe a little less noticeable. Guess im just gonna break down and put an oem clutch in it.

Did break my personal record, had the trans out of the truck in 40 minutes

 

Pit crew status right there!

 

Bought some spindles used that were never installed. Going to start accumulating front end parts and then do a rebuild all at once

 

That’s awesome!!
Did you ever make a deal on that skid plate

 

No sir, not yet, waiting to hear from @ChadsPride on that. Last i heard he was still waiting to see if anyone had an aluminum and was willing to trade

Hoping it works out tho!

 

Got a member down on the third coast I need to get the aluminum one from then the steel ones all yours.

Unfortunately, he just flew back to Africa on bidniss

 

Woot! Just keep me posted and we can sort out the deets
