Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Grining noise in Trans just at start up

    I recently swapped a lower miles engine in to my 02 gtp motor was from a 98 gtp. When you first cold start the car i hear this slight grinding sound coming from the bellhousing area. It will last for about 30 seconds and you can hear it fade away. The sound is gone for the rest of the time. Its...

    Electrical Ground Locations?

    I recently swapped a newer used motor. My a/c used to work before the swap. I don't hear the compressor kicking on at all now. The a/c light comes on and it blows warm air. I do hear some engine noise coming from the radio. Never had that problem before. I assume i have a ground wire somewhere...

    Clunking when letting off gas.

    There is a clunking sound in rhythm with the rate of the wheel spinning i let off the gas. It never makes a peep accelerating. If you are coasting it will clunk until you touch the gas and then it instantly goes away. While coasting and clunking if I were to turn the wheel to the right the...

    Just did a motor swap on 02 gtp. The donor engine was a 98. My a/c and electric fans worked before the swap. They are a no go after start up with donor motor. a/c has power no cold though.

    Replacing the crankshaft, main, and rod bearings without removing heads?

    I have the my l67 pulled out. Oil pan got dented. Developed a rod knock i believe. I was looking at autozone for pricing of gaskets and such. Autozone's website is better than anyone else's. I saw that they offer a Crankshaft kit. It includes a crankshaft .10 or better with matching rod and...

    Can't get car out of park.

    I am pulling the motor out of my gtp. I got to the point where I'm about to remove the engine. I needed to roll the car back for more engine hoist room. I turned the key to unlock the steering wheel and possibly put the shift lever into neutral. No luck. It won't move from park. I tried hooking...

    Replacing L67 bottom end for L26 bottom end

    I have a rod knock on my 2002 GTP. I can find L26 blocks everywhere for cheap. I have done some top swap research. Just had a few things i couldn't really find. Does the L26 block bolt up to the HD l67 trans? Does the car have to be re tuned ? Do all the accessories bolt up the same? Motor...

    Recently had a oil pan denting issue on my 172k gtp. I have fixed the pan and replaced the pickup tube. Wasn't too bad but you could see where the pickup tube was marking the bottom of the oil pan. I thought i fixed it because when it could started i didn't have a knock. I test drove it. When...

    I just had to replace the oil pan because it got dented and was starting to knock a little at rpm above 2400rpm. Sounded like a lifter to me. Anyways i parked it and began to pull the oil pan to knock out the dent. When i pulled the pan you could see where the pickup tube had marked the bottom...

    Oil flowing out of engine. 4 quarts a quarter mile.

    I have 2002 gtp stock. Noticed some smoke behind me in the mirror a quarter mile or so from home. When i came to a stop sign i noticed the smoke coming out the hood. Pulled in the drive and looked under the running car. Oil was squirting out at a very rapid pace on the drive. I turned the car...

    02 GTP Popping noise when turning at slow speeds. Intermediate shaft?

    The noise doesn't happen at any other time. It only pops when turning the wheel. Just at a slow turn. Seems to make more of a popping noise when turning to the right. It feels like its coming from my steering shaft. It only pops when turning the wheel. Everything seems to look normal around the...
