So far, so good. Given that each of the 2 Mopar pumps lasted 40-50k, may be a while before I can say for sure!

Update on water pump. Took above advice and bought Gates pump, pulley, belt, etc and changed this weekend. Sure enough, sound is gone. I could move the pulley/shaft on the old one, so worn out bearings. Again. Hopefully better luck with the Gates

Yogi I would say yes, it has quieted the "tick", but not completely eliminated it.

I've noticed a strange, oscillating, rhythmic grind/growl/rattle sound coming from underhood of my Jeep over the past couple weeks, most noticeable after engine warmed up. It's not scary loud, but definitely noticeable. I'm suspecting it may be the water pump again. Had the original pump...

See attachment below for 3 consecutive UOAs on 2010 Jeep Hemi. Jeep now has a little over 90000 miles and has had several Redline 5w30 fills to try to quiet "Hemi tick" (it has). Have posted previous threads on first 2 UOAs, as well. Added about 0.5qt during the 6140 mi interval. Mobil 1 filter...

This doesn't look like the right sample. Agree it looks more like a UOA. Also, unless Schaeffer recently changed their formula, it should have some moly in it.

Good review, Quattro Pete. I own the same car and largely agree with your assessment. Living in GA, I get to drive mine more often, though! I have not had issues with throttle hesitation or transmission or paint, but the interior definitely not up to par for a $60k vehicle. Too much plastic. My...

I had the same problem at my house. Looked at all kinds of options, including rubber/plastic "humps", asphalt, etc. Finally settled on custom cut steel diamond plate secured via bolts into asphalt. Looks great, works great and will last forever.

I bought my first electric guitar(used) as a cash-strapped college student. Always a fan of rock music and electric guitar always my favorite instrument. Took lessons for a while, then self-taught. I like a lot of players, favorite is probably Blackmore, love almost all of his recorded stuff but...

I guess the Z06 isn't a classic yet, but the other two probably qualify

I have had both wireless radio fences and the inground wire ones. Issues I saw with the wireless were patchy radio signal and strength as brick walls and other structures interfere with the signal. If you set the shock just right in one area, it may be too strong or nonexistent in another. Also...

Beautiful car, Machmarcus. Mine is also a 69 R code in winter blue, but has a black interior. You don't find many winter blues out there. That color just "pops" in sunlight.

I put the Raybestos Element 3/EHT pad and rotor combo on my Jeep Commander recently. Very pleased so far.

I agree with Astro, maybe just go for a quality low-voltage LED system and never have to mess with it again. I live in GA. and have been through this on several properties I've owned over the years. Even here, almost impossible to get the lights to stay on through the night. Also, you buy a...

Kira, agree that trying to turn a pontoon into a 60 mph bass boat seems a bit silly. That being said, I think getting at or near max size motor makes sense for my needs, given that Lanier is a big lake, and would hope to be able to pull kids on a tube even with several people on board. I agree...

The UOA looks good. No reason to change. No such thing as gratuitous track footage, especially with a V8. Love those LS motors and their wide powerbands. Barely had to touch you shift lever.

Thanks for righting the image! I have been running an aFE dry filter on their intake system. I know Redline uses silicon as an antifoaming agent but don't know if the levels should be quite this high

So this is the second UOA on the Commander. Posted the first back in Jan 2020(Sorry, don't know how to link to a prior thread). Overall, I think this is the 4th Redline fill. Certainly some findings not as good as the previous. Could the fact that I sampled this Sept 12 and just now got results...

All of the pontoons made now seem to have welded aluminum transoms. About the only wood on them is the pressure treated plywood deck and those all come with multiyear warranties

Good point about landing the fish. Hadn't thought about that. Regarding wind and current, I think that could be an issue when out on open areas of the lake. I've noticed there really aren't any accomodations for anchors on pontoons, so I guess you keep one in storage and tie it to a cleat if...
