I'd like to see the PP UOA, I just switched to PP mainly because this site talks that PP is ok compared to M1, and M1 is off the shelves here where I live.

Good to hear. For me, I think you'd only notice the Ujoint (or CV, explain later) on acceleration or deceleration of the shaft, where there would then be slop in there. My 1986 Bronco II I had, used CV joints exclusively for the drive shaft, where as my mom's 1984 Bronco and you know similar...

Originally Posted By: Jimmy9190 I just had them rebalanced about a month ago. The vibration was present for a few weeks before that. I also had both outer tie rod ends replaced at the same time. One was loose, and thinking that the other side probably wasn't far behind, I had both done...

Does it seem to be one tire, all tires, I didn't take the time to read every word, probably should huh? Ply separation could be a cause for the vibration as well. As the wheel speeds around heading toward the pavement, it being separated would slap against the ground, and possibly that area...

Found out what happened to the plane across the hangar, the alternator ceased, sheared totally inside, but it didn't shear on the shaft as well, most designs are, it sheared totally into the teeth and spread junk everywhere in the engine.

The 2.7 v6 in my car calls for 5w-20 for my 2005 Stratus, just for reference. Now I'll be on a search to see what the different Dodge V6 engine requires for oil.

Thanks for the tips, it's appreciated as I look at specs on bottles and such. Matthew

I am curious, from the other thread that I have posted up about aviation probably all together in the wrong thread. But after I was searching around, I found MIL-L and MIL-PRF used, they seemed to be portrayed to be synonymous but I am not sure that they are since they are specifications. Is...

Ok, thank you for that, nice to see already on the site.

Yeah, that's right, which reminds me of when I was at school. Not that this is just industry related, I am sure there are individuals and instructors across the board that have the learning curve disability or even teaching disability since they are instructors and that is their job. We were...

Thanks for the input Bill, I probably haven't been in the industry as long as you, but I have seen some interesting things thus far. Not to stray from the subject, but across the hangar, there is a plane that they opened up something towards the rear of the engine. The engine failed in flight...
