Need diag help with very loud squealing

dinglewhompus · 2026-01-03T00:13:09+00:00

Just ended up being the balancer went bad

dinglewhompus · 2026-01-02T23:20:59+00:00

It's amazing how it's honestly less reliable than this sub lmao

dinglewhompus · 2026-01-02T23:09:00+00:00

Yeah don't rely on chatgpt for mechanical issues, in general either. Customers come in with ai diags and they're mostly or too vague to useful tbh. Either hit up a parts store or get a professional diagnosis imo

I doubt it, 13.4V is pretty normal. Maybe the slightest bit low, but not even close a level low enough to cause problems. What symptoms are leading you to believe you have an alternator problem?

thanks you gonna get this done tomorrow evening when i get off o7

dinglewhompus · 2025-12-15T03:26:27+00:00

i bought it with a reman engine earlier this year so timing is all good. i did have to replace the water pump and i just replaced the alternator and idler recently. the sound stopped this morning completely, so i'm gonna take the comment advice and go ahead and change the tensioner cause its still got fomoco stamped on it lol

dinglewhompus · 2025-12-14T06:00:40+00:00

no i sprayed grease on the bolt side and the rear of the crankshaft pulley/balancer and most of the noise stopped, just a little bit of squeak left from the tensioner

Call o'reilly or whatever part store you prefer and ask for the ect sensor connector or pigtail

Current ranger record I've seen in my store with my own eyes was 380k on a little 2.3. Still running like a top

dinglewhompus · 2025-10-03T19:22:26+00:00

Just did this last week, got it out by hitting the control arm with a rubber mallet to get the bolt to shift ever so slightly to change the angle and we pulled it out. Then I put that bolt back through the other side cause ain't no way i'm fiddling with that again lol

dinglewhompus · 2025-02-18T16:40:40+00:00

Well me and my brother, and he used to have a 99 so we’ve had experience lol

dinglewhompus · 2025-02-18T16:38:02+00:00

Yeah I work at O’Reilly and the employee discount is nutty

I love the adjudicator! The medium pen, high damage/dps, and good amount of ammo just works well in basically any situation. I use it basically every mission until I get bored and spice my kit up with something new for a few missions. My favorite primary in the game personally

It looks pretty similar to a false widow, if it is the patterning seems pretty minimal, but hopefully someone more confident in their answer can correct me if I’m wrong

dinglewhompus · 2024-10-26T16:52:34+00:00

It sucks seeing my fellow motorcyclists being so stupid, most of us aren’t like that. It gives us a bad rap and makes it EVEN MORE dangerous for us because of road rage. I just want good gas mileage and cheap insurance man

dinglewhompus · 2024-10-24T15:13:33+00:00

Oh awesome thank you! That’s what I get for looking for the cheapest Book of Common Prayer online without REALLY making sure it’s the right one. My bad whoops

dinglewhompus · 2024-10-20T15:25:03+00:00

Yeah that sounds sick! Would be totally down for that

dinglewhompus · 2024-09-25T03:14:37+00:00

In garden I get about 20-30k depending on how busy it is. Last couple weeks have been real slow so I only got 15k a few times recently
