• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Strange pulsing/thumping sound no one can figure out...

    I have a strange pulsing/thumping sound coming from the front end. It is there no matter how fast I am driving and the rate of the thumping sound seems directly tied to the speed of the tires. I have summer tires/wheels and snow tires/wheels and the sound is not affected by changing either set...

    Clicking Coming From R&P Area & Rapid Thumping Sound While Driving

    Hey guys, For some time now I've been experiencing a rapid thumping sound coming from the front end. The faster my speed, the faster the thumping sound. There is also looseness/play in my steering. I jacked up the front end and looked for play. The hubs are tight and play-free, the outer tie...

    Tach dropped to 0 while driving and other issues

    On the way home from work today, the tach suddenly dropped to 0 RPMs, the "TCS OFF" light illumintated, but the car kept running fine as if nothing odd had happened. About a half mile later as I was going up a hill which required more throttle, the car started sputtering (kind of like it was...

    Long Starts

    Well, my TPS and torque converter both went out and now I'm having long starts all within like two weeks of each other. The car just cranks forever before the engine fires up. What does that sound like off the bat? Car runs totally fine once started and the battery is fairly new. How hard...

    What do you think of these plugs? Orange burn marks?

    I'm having some major issues with the car which you can read about here: http://www.grandprixforums.net/rebuilt-trans-february-3rd-4th-gear-problems-w-hardened-installed-51251.html ...but this probably merits its own thread since I have no clue if it's related or not. I dropped to a 3.4...

    Rebuilt Trans in February - 3rd to 4th Gear Problems w hardened installed

    Hey Guys, As I understand it, there is an ECM which is responsible for engine management, a TCM which is responsible for transmission management, and a PCM is basically the ECM and the TCM together. If I'm not mistaken, on our cars the PCM is literally one phycical unit that houses the TCM...

    '05 WK Hemi vs. Me - Who Wins?

    My Pa-in-law just bought a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a Hemi. 330 hp if I'm not mistaken. My car and mods are in my sig. Say we line up and run a 1/4 mi. Who wins? :rolleyes:

    AutoZone TRE Probs?

    Within the last, oh, few thousand miles or so I've replaced my control arms, bushings, ball joints, axles, R&P, lower motor mount, and my front struts/mounts were replaced a little over a year ago. When I replaced my CA's, I figured I'd put some fresh outer TRE's on because the ones I had were...

    Did my transmission just die?

    I was returning to work after taking my wife to lunch for her b-day and as I pulled out of the parking lot, I began accelerating at a normal speed. Right when the car shifted into third I heard a squeeking/ping sound almost like the tires just chirped. The car acted totally fine after that and...

    Control Arms - Which Ones?

    I've been having clunking issues for a very very long time and they're only getting worse. Now I'm starting to get this weird shaking when I'm giving it gas (it doesn't shake at all just coasting). Well I've replaced the struts and strut mounts, the hubs seem to be tight and wiggle free, the...

    Sporadic Alternator Output

    I bought a 110 amp alternator from AZ last year and haven't had any issues until this winter. Sometimes (usually in the morning when it's really cold) the voltmeter will only show that I'm at 12V (sometimes less) when I'm idling. Then when I start driving the volts go up as the RPM's go up...

    1.9 Rockers or Headers?

    I'm about ready to begin the next mod. Should I do 1.9 rockers or headers next? My top priority is to reduce KR. What are your thoughts? This car is my DD so keep that in mind too if it makes any difference. Thanks! (P.S. Current mods are in sig) And yes, once these 605's are used up...

    HID Problems - Shut on and off

    I have a set of 6K H1 HID's and when I got them they seemed to work fine, but sometimes the driver bulb would randomly just not turn on. I thought at first the bulb was bad, but then other times it would come on as if nothing was wrong. I then got a relay kit installed and that didn't affect...
