WELCOME!!! from Houston. Still waiting for some pictures...:huh:
Oh, I still check it every thousand miles. Too old of an engine to not do so. What happened to that eye and cheekbone?
265,000 miles on an 04 hemi, and for the past year, I have been having to add first 1/4 quart, and more recently, 1/2 quart every thousand miles....
I have a cousin that does vinyl signs. She told me to go to a sign shop and ask for some scrap material. I ended up with a chunk of like 1/8"...
I am keeping mine on the ground while I do this. Makes it harder to see the protractor, because it sits so low. But I did not want to start...
Originally no wedges, I had been running 2 degree wedges, which made a little difference. But I was unable to get good readings on the protractor...
Well, if that is stock, that is what I started with two. I had 5 and 4, driveshaft was level at 0. Maybe the stiffer springs prevented the lift...
Rearend has been rebuilt around that time too. This doesn't sound like rearend noise, anyway. And I took it back apart and had bearings etc....
Yes, I swapped them right around the time the noise started. 4 leaf, new from JCWhitney. but I did a lot of things "right around the time the...
Might just cut off the perches and reweld them on further back on the tube, rather than drive around with wedges under them. They just don't look...

It has always been bad, as far as I know. around 2006 I started to complain about it. I may need to look back at what else I did to the car around...
I get that the new engine likely went in with a couple more degrees of angle, but even before that, I have had horrible drivetrain noise and just...
OK...Cant wait for good weather...
No vibes, then leave it alone. Mine vibes...BAD!
Overheating can happen from too far advanced timing. Not if it is retarded/late.
Borrowing picture from the other thread... We have always used the truck, but now that we have the diesel 4X4 grand cherokee, we can tow in...
One more question, What size squirters are recommended? Way back before you looked, you were estimating .032 and .035. Still your recommendation?...
No doubt! I had to do the same thing. It would slowly creep up to 200...210...220. Then I would have to pull over for 20 minutes to let it cool...
Even the electric ones are not perfectly safe. I cut off my thumbprint on mine once. Engine was off but it was still spinning and I just barely...
