[theholycow]

Put both CVs together, one whole CV result.

hmm, is that the starter?

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

dammit now im all sorts of fuck. taht page has some good info

[theholycow]

Yep, that's the starter.

Leak in the described area would normally be assumed to be rear main seal, but I'm still going with head gasket.

cao if you jinx this ima butchers a cao


dads gonna contact our bamf mexicanic friend. keeping cv in parking spot til monday

[BillyJeanKing]

gotta do joo upkeeps cez

KCV went into overheat mode over le summer

I was about 30 mins from home

stopped at a gas station and bought a big bottle of water. Filled up radiator on the way home every few miles. Car still kept overheating

Went to mechanic the next day. Had cracked radiator. Got replaced. Was under $300

[Cez★]

yeah i woud MF. was too stressed over every other thing going on i assumed car was ok if it kept running. cv did me well. hope its not expensive fix. either way, probably can afford to fix.

[theholycow]

Jinx schminx. Rear main seal is no picnic either.

[Cez★]

fidil full 5.0 engine then

[stonehenge]

Wait wait wait. Mine was leaking coolant from what appeared to be that area. Ended up being a metal tube that runs through the valley under the intake manifold. Bitch was leaking into the valley and dripping out the back.

Get a light and see if you can see under the manifold somewhere and see if its wet.

fak it got cold out. almost 50 out there.


so i went to check cv out a bit. its now dripping.


took a look around manifold (tried taking plastic cover off and couldnt) didnt see anything on the front sides of it. couldnt get a good look but i dont think there was any leak from the back, unless it was from a spot i couldnt see

but i noticed theres fluid collcted on the side of the bell housing.


it all sounds like a pain in the ass


hope it warms up a bit for the weekend

although i did see fluid

[theholycow]

What is it dripping?

Catch a drip on your finger. Rub it between fingers to determine viscosity. Sniff it.

Catch a drip on a white piece of paper. See what color it is.

[Cez★]

dripping coolant. has that nasty fishy smell.


color is orange/brow. cao i did that yesterday. cuz was thinking it was oil.

[theholycow]

Fishy smell? WTF kind of coolant Ferds use?

[Cez★]

mehbeh fishy not right word. but smells stank. like all other cars we've had. unless thats not supposed to smell like that?

[stonehenge]

Should smell kinda sweet, is why doge like to sip it and die

Sent from my LG V20

[Cez★]

is sweet? i thought was kinda eww smell. but really, i think it still is teh coolant. even me dad had seen it

[stonehenge]

btw I think CV will shut off a couple cylinders when it overheats. Could explain some of the rough running.

Sent from my LG V20

[Cez★]

so could be saved?

[stonehenge]

But if you drove it a while, could have still fakd something

Swapped fuel pump relay, jumped/bypassed relay, hit tank with a mallet, checked inertia switch in trunk, still no fuel lump humming.

Shits ded

Sent from my LG V20

[Cez★]

yep. def pump imo

[theholycow]

Don't forget could be wire failure near tank, could try applying 12v/ground directly to pump as close to tank as possible.
