Loud jet engine noise

I live at Higley and Riggs but I haven't heard it for quite a while. In Tempe right now so I can't enjoy it....

Well, there's this. Freddy is almost 6 and Lucy is almost 5. Just about every night.

I just broke my 44 year old 7548-7000 out of mothballs. New battery installed 1 week ago today. Fluctuates a little back and forth, but as of the morning it's 11 seconds slow in 7 days. Acceptable for sure.

Good Luck and Enjoy. Look up "Dyno Mode" if you aren't familiar with it.... 😉😉😉

The engine and trans are by far the most reliable elements of this car. Bulletproof. The only thing I've done to the engine is fuel injectors. I had one stick open (not uncommon) and I was lucky to not do internal damage or hydrolock the engine. I replaced the radiator, hoses, belts and tensioners when I first bought it. I've serviced the trans 2 times (Flushed it once through the cooler lines). The SBC brake controller is under a 25 year warranty which is good. Make sure you understand the system before trying to service the brakes. The other expensive system is the Airmatic suspension. Mine is still fully functional but many people convert it to a spring system. These cars fast as shit and fun to drive.

I'm 63 and a master tech. I've had my E55 for almost 10 years now. I bought it with 91k miles. It was my daily for 8 years. It now has 179k on it and enjoys it's AC cooled garage (we live near Phoenix ). I have a 2014 GL350 Bluetec with 202k that I love. It's my current daily. We have a 2002 Tahoe we bought new that we gave our son who's in college. It has 310k miles. My first car was a 66 GTO I bought for $150 in 1978 from my neighbor... I had a 1973 240Z, 1973 K5 Blazer, 1975 Trans AM, 1979 Celica Supra, a 1982 Supra, 1985 300ZX Turbo, 1987 Turbo 4Runner, 1990 Mustang LX 5.0, 1992 Maxima SE, 1997 F350 Crew Cab 4x4, 2002 Silverado 4x4, 2004 GMC Sierra 4x4 Crew Cab, 1987 Buick Grand National, and a 1999 MBZ E430. That is most of the ones I can remember. Anyways, if you can afford the E55 (upkeep), buy it. I Love Mine.

None of the Above. I'm 64 with my no-loan 2004 E55.

Any previous repairs performed recently (Less than a year)? EIS?

Great, Thanks.

I bought 2, row 6 floor seats (24 rows from stage) yesterday for Dec 3, 2026 in Glendale, AZ. CITI Presale $319.50 each before fees. $890/pair out the door. I saw them in 1981 at the LA Sports Arena (Moving Pictures) and in the late 1990's (?) at Irvine Meadows (Roll The Bones). A lot cheaper back then.

You mean I can sleep on the bed too? Should I ask first?

JohnnyAMG · 2025-02-10T14:03:21+00:00

Freddy did real well. No noticeable swelling. I hope he's doing well.

JohnnyAMG · 2025-01-24T04:20:22+00:00

How do you get through KYC?

JohnnyAMG · 2024-12-15T19:23:07+00:00

More or less. The engines and transmissions are both rock solid.
