dmaxalliTech 01-12-2005, 10:33 PM not seen one yet. Terrain Twister 01-12-2005, 11:50 PM Mines not cracked but GM believes it to be warped! Clyde (SoCalDieselTech) has a new one on order and currently we have plans for him to install it next Thursday. I'll try to remember to take the camera and snap a couple if we can actually see anything. Super Diesel 01-13-2005, 12:33 AM Like this one of mine? Dmax Tim 01-13-2005, 05:32 AM Should we say OOPS? Just a bit toooooo much power, good job SD :D Mitchagain 01-13-2005, 10:23 AM Was there a symptom that caused you to discover this? ratlover 01-13-2005, 10:29 AM I didnt crack one but I know they are fun to change:rolleyes: Loki_nine 01-13-2005, 11:27 AM Was there a symptom that caused you to discover this?Most cracked flex plates/flywheels that I've encountered sound just like a valve tapping but the frequency of the tap does not typically follow the camshaft pattern (ie-1/2 crank rpm), but tends to more closely follow the revolutions of the crank (which makes sense as that is where it is attached) But not always - sometimes it's only noisy under load It is not always easy to isolate, but when you do, it is always a huge relief because it usually makes things sound worse than they really are (mimics engine trouble related sounds) Super Diesel 01-13-2005, 12:51 PM I first noticed a loud ticking noise coming from between the trans and the engine. It progressivly got worse. It did go away when I put it in reverse. Micheal Tomac 01-14-2005, 01:33 AM should we be talking to someone about making an SFI flexplate? | ||
