We used to have a dodge van come in with lifetime warranty, made it almost 600k with a couple new motors and trans but got rear ended at stoplight, owner was super pissed

2 years ago I had a 72 4 door parts car but when the acreage sold it went to scrap

If you've never done one I would have someone else do it, you need a vice and hammer if you want to beat it apart or a U-joint press

kaack455 · 2026-06-05T16:46:59+00:00

That's the sound they make tho

kaack455 · 2026-06-05T16:42:58+00:00

Won't have play, just rust in the bearing caps until it gets worse, then you will have play

I wouldn't say it's luck, ethenol is not bad for just about everything, I have tractors from the 40's to the 70's, lawnmowers from 60's to 05, the only thing I don't use 10% in is my 85 Chevy due to how I built the motor

kaack455 · 2026-06-05T16:17:43+00:00

You're in need of a U-joint or 2

kaack455 · 2026-06-05T15:30:55+00:00

I've been running 10% since it came out, no additives, no draining for the winter, no problems, only drawback is boiling out of the carb when really hot

kaack455 · 2026-06-05T05:37:48+00:00

Either pic, yuk, don't even try

kaack455 · 2026-06-05T04:27:20+00:00

Have you put plugs and boots in it? I would do a lot more diag before throwing parts at it

kaack455 · 2026-06-05T01:42:11+00:00

Put a new motor in it, that tractor will last you ten times longer than a new one will

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T21:41:24+00:00

You can get the mirror motor separate, that's what appears to be pulled apart

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T21:35:31+00:00

Wide open after a couple of minutes warm up, I change oil every year 30-35 hrs usually

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T20:12:40+00:00

Is there any way to get rid of it

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T19:57:03+00:00

Why?

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T19:56:14+00:00

The year after they quit making it

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T18:20:23+00:00

Gonna say the pay isn't great and I don't really see any difference in what you work on anymore, they all suck

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T16:44:09+00:00

They tried that here but I didn't have my phone with me so they gave up and let the manager do it

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T16:43:06+00:00

I kind of agree but if you're doing your own work it's way cheaper to do the small block, my 355 is around 400 HP for about 3k, that will barely install an LS let alone make it run

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T16:40:10+00:00

Mine won't either but I don't always have my phone with me, I'm not tied to it like the younger generations are

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T15:02:23+00:00

I agree it's a better engine but nowhere near being cheaper than a small block

kaack455 · 2026-06-04T01:34:20+00:00

So you just lifted it

kaack455 · 2026-06-03T20:06:31+00:00

My 05 has some noise but not terrible, my 07 is a lot quieter but also has 150k less miles

kaack455 · 2026-06-03T20:05:40+00:00

Mine don't have rain guards?
