I went in from the top. Back passenger corner of the engine compartment downward . I had to use about 2 1/2 feet worth of extensions, a ½” drive six point Flex socket, a universal adapter on top of that, and it probably took 70 or 80 foot pounds of torque to get that thing broken loose. And it...

This is the only way I could get mine loose. Took a universal socket and a universal adApter plus about 2’ of extensions to get to it from back of engine compartment. It was so tight I thought it was welded on at first. I added a quart, it was low.

There’s a video somewhere that shows someone removing the dipstick cap, and they turn it “counter clockwise”, which if viewed from the top it would look like you were tightening it. From your picture, do you try to rotate it right or left? I.e. is it reverse threaded? I tried doing it tonight...

So this answers my question - The BL-5000 EXT will do my '19 GT and a Tesla Model 3, which has a slightly longer wheelbase.

Come on guys, there’s nothing wrong with that engine. Thats just like the typewriter tick, which is a normal operating characteristic of the engine. No repairs should be attempted :like:

Very similar. 1-2 gear. It does it when it’s cold or has been sitting for a while. It will also do it if I’m going uphill really slowly and it keeps downshifting...eventually it can’t figure out which gear to be in.

No I just want a little dam and waterfall on top of the car.

I’m actually waiting for the all hydroelectric-powered vehicle.

Mine has done this before.

That’s right the marks are there for a reason. But the shafts and flanges “should” be more or less a matched set. However, you may be right that they are trying a one setup-fits-all approach, and the tolerances are not good enough, which is why so many 15-17 cars have this problem. 18-20 parts...

Thanks for the perspective. I didn’t know. I always figured it was a cost issue to allow them to make cheap changes to the front of the car, but then that didn’t make any sense because they always end up changing the hood anyway. And the fenders. So your explanation makes the most sense.

I wish they would get rid of that front cap and extend the front center of the hood on down over the grille. Like the sn95s, but appropriate for the new style. That has always bugged me about the s550.

Thought I would share this with you guys. I rented a 2019 Stingray convertible from Hertz, drove from LA to Davis, CA, and back down the Carrizo Plain and San Andreas Fault. Some crappy roads, freeway, and some good canyon and back roads. I rented a 2019 Camaro SS convertible on a recent trip...

Yep. Love it. Noisy, though. Like everything else on the car, but I do like the hell out of it.

Tough problem, guys. It's not a quality issue, it's a tolerance stack up issue. Driveshaft & pinion flange are matched for runout/balance tolerances as a set. Aftermarket shafts are a total crapshoot. There is no simple fix. That being said, the parts on the 2018-2020 cars are far better in...

Interesting. So this was some weird vibration that came back through the steering wheel? Like a buzz? I know we’ve been through this, but I have no idea how drive line harmonics can cause what you were describing. Anyway, good deal that you got it fixed! And another demonstration have to drive...

Yup, boy those were the days weren’t they? I cut my teeth on the drivetrain vibration problem in a 99 cobra, and I’ve helped so many people solve issues in the 99 to 03s. Those cars were really really sensitive. A half a gram of weight, and a couple of thousandths run out would be enough to just...

Do a tune from Lund or Livernois and run E85. Then you’ll be affected with a case of the permanent grins.

Let us know, Bruce, that sounds weird, but hope you get it fixed.
