You can feel it from say 15 MPH on up, of course haven't been over about 45 in over two weeks since it started. Its been over 2500 miles since they did the tranny

Maybe something inside the tranny came loose of failed :?:

Did they replace the torque converter?

Has nothing to do with being a homeowner.

I'm STILL DEALING WITH THE F**KING IRRESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS!!!!!!!

I think my little problem with the axle isn't the axle. I started pulling it apart, got it all the way to the CV nut and wheel bearing bolts, tried to break loose the axle nut and couldn't stop the axle from turning. Looked a little closer, the opposite wheel doesn't turn at all and I get a very noticeable clicking sound when I change direction. Based on how spider gears work, shouldn't the opposite wheel turn the opposite direction of the wheel turned by hand? Both wheels will spin the drive shaft but neither will turn the other.
Am I wrong to think the problem is within the differential?

Good talking to you Ted!

Made it to Swanton and back
somewhere over 9 miles I walked ( using over 900 calories, but now could eat 1800 :ROTFL:

)
But the old guy made it so...................
got some grocery shopping done, now have some food to go on for a while, maybe I'll just start doing that weekly

With shopping took me about 3 hours and 20-25 minutes total
Been over 9 years since I walked that far :dead:

I asked him to save the job and he said he would. I would've given you a couple at Bob's but forgot them.
That hammertone paint was pretty soft for awhile but I can't believe how hard the finish is now.
Here's what they looked like before I painted them last week

It took days to remove the rust, I couldn't believe how much there was from just one winter. That brine is nasty stuff, I think I'm going to remove all of my armor before next winter.

Ted15, I'm looking at doing the same to my Super Skinks, except I have more rust on them right now, and the original paint (from the PO) was spray-on bedliner. Did you use a drill with a 3M rust-removal wheel to get the rust and old paint off? Then wash in rubbing alcohol, prime, and re paint? Just wanting to make sure I do it right the first time... And your sliders look really great now, BTW.

Thanks

I started off doing it by hand with sticky abrasive discs on a sanding block :banghead:

not smart. Some of the rust was 1/8" thick. After a day of that, I went to harbor freight and bought a 4 1/2" disk grinder, backing pad for resin disks and ended up using about a dozen 80 grit resin disks. I used a blending disk for awhile because the others wore out quickly from the rust and paint that was still there. I sanded the nooks and crannies by hand, primed with Rustoleu rusty metal primer and painted with Rustoleum hammertone rusty metal paint. They came out pretty nice I think.
The directions said to add layers of primer or top coat within twenty min or wait 48 hours so I painted them black before the twenty minutes were up. It took a few days to harden but wow, I'm impressed with the paint. Hopefully the paint holds up this time. Last time I used duplicolor.
