I have heard that running without mufflers will cause that as well since you have to take off in low gear and floor it every time you leave home :goink:

Nope...I think it's more of the constant downshifting to hear the pipes cackle :BANANA:

From the looks of the flare the paint is peeling off, not real ice damage
that means it was not sticking which in turn means better preparation and it would stick. For example on Chris' Sport flares he has had them LineX'd for over 3 years now and still look brand new , many who do cheaper self done paint/ truck bed material to theirs it is coming off due to bad prep

That's all I meant
sorry I said anything :roll:

It's from the road salt, not ice. The ice helped caused my light to chip and caused that weak spot on the front bumper to crack. I did prepare for my handy job. Line-X quoted me $1400 to do my whole Jeep. No thanks, so I did it myself. I'm not made of money and I'm redoing the job in the Spring with Herculiner. FYI, it's not paint, it's spray-on bedliner.

No I keep thinking that I'm trying to help......
I mean I could say its doesn't matter if its paint or spray on bedliner, or painted with a brush its all in the prep!
I could also say ice did not cause it to come off poor prep did, but again I won't say anything else as its always taken wrong. So I'll just be quiet and comment to others who thank you for helping them

See I have learned Tahoe !!! :wink:

Ace on Stickney just south of Manhattan, Fastenall right around the corner from you, Freightliner off of Benore and Fleetpride on Washington just off 75 will all have what you are looking for. Oh ya, I think I have some in my tool box also :ROTFL:

Just got home and spent $180 of my shock/spring money on getting my sweet hearts ring fixed :banghead:

Better than the $300 I talked her out of spending, then she would have gotten into my beer money :shock:

The plus side, the jeweler told me to get the ring reappraised, her rock has gone up a bunch in value :mrgreen:

Drove wife's Libby yesterday, went into parking lot with speed bumps, hit the bump....Oh My Goodness, front end sounded like and ole 78 Camaro with a arm bushings shot :dizzy:

Wife tells me, " it sounds like that all the time when I hit hard bump". It always has sound like something if banging when hitting bump, I figure swaybar links, but this sounds like a plastic air dam dragging on a curb or something, definitely needs front end work on something.
Putting live scanner on Tahoe in a bit and takin her for a drive to see whats working or not.

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Jan 03, 2011 9:21 am

Hope its a simple fix for ya Tahoe.....

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Jan 03, 2011 11:11 am

Its way past time he replace his wifes Liberty's suspension.
If he really cared for her he would....... :wink:

Problem is he doesn't like the KJ and is always working on the Hoe :ROTFL:

I was going to lift it until I watched her 5',0" butt have problems getting in and out as it is, not too mention my even shorter kids.

No update on Hoe. Changed filter/fluid, disconnected battery, cleared all codes with scanner ( was none, did anyway)....still nothing. Both the shift solenoids are working as they should be, I think it's the downshift solenoid, but I'm getting conflicting advice from different people. Going to check with brother in law on weds to see what I'm supposed to be reading on scanner.

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Jan 03, 2011 7:53 pm

So its only first gear Tahoe?
I mean everything else feels normal?

TAHOE · **Posted:** Tue Jan 04, 2011 10:41 am

Yeah, it does not have first and it's in limp mode so it's trying to start out in 3rd. According to the scanner, the solenoids that open/close to change gears are working properly @ right time, but I'm not sure how to read what the 3-2 downshift is doing. I'm told by one guy it's supposed to be off, another tells me it's on and I read different things too. I hooked it to my Firebird and that 3-2 is almost always on so I'm confused. :dizzy:

I can drop it into 1st or 2nd and it starts in 2nd and will shift to 3rd/OD, just no 1st. Bad part is.....there is not a single code stored, the tranny guy I talked to says that is baffling, should have some code since something isn't working.

found out today that i might be loosing my job. :shock:

i hope not.

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Jan 04, 2011 7:05 pm

Tahoe
Real strange that nothing is showing up. Does 2nd and up feel ok? shifting the way it should or does it feel like its shifting harder/slipping any between shifts ?

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Tue Jan 04, 2011 7:27 pm

the pressures seem ok? lost first gear on my 'burban and it was a pump pressure issue

of course by the time I got it back to the shop while towing 8klbs of tractor it wasn't a pump pressure issue anymore lol..

TAHOE · **Posted:** Tue Jan 04, 2011 9:03 pm

It seems to shift okay from 2nd to third, but I have to downshift into 2nd no matter what to get it moving, then up shift into 3rd so it will shift or it will stay in limp mode. I'm thinking it's an "electric" solenoid cause the problem was instant. Worked fine, pulled in drive, change oil, rotated tires, etc, then backed out of drive and it was done. I may get it hauled to me B-in laws shop and see what he thinks, he rebuilds about 2 of these things a week. I don't have a gauge so can't check pressure.
I've had some "soft" or "slippage" 2nd to 3rd shifts every once in a while for last year or so. It's also caused the engine to go into limp mode when it happens, well, it only does that if it's a soft shift @ WOT or pulling a load. I'm thinking it's that 3-2 down shift solenoid cause it also regulates pressure to hold the clutches when it shifts....or so I've read.
If gas keeps going up I'm not even going to worry about, just throw on some studded tires and 160#'s in the back of the firebird during winter..... :jester:

Thanks Tom!! :pepper:

But ..... it's not luck ...... I'm just THAT good!!!!!! :pepper:

First day went pretty good. The maintenance supervisor told me not to even bring in any tools, so I just wandered around and started learning the plant processes and machines. He told me later in the day not to even worry about tools for the first 2-3 WEEKS! I guess I just wander until then! :pepper:

He has me starting at 8A and work until 6P - 5 days a week until I get situated and then I'll be on 12's, 7P - 7:30A, on 2 days, off 3 then alternate like that. I'll end up with every other weekend off, unless I want OT, which he told me I could work as much as I wanted. The plant runs 24/7 so lots of opportunity! Oh..... and also the 22nd - 31st of May off!!!!!!!!!!! :BANANA:

It's the "Pastafari clause" !!!! (Thanks JL )
