The Juan is back, thanks to the registry!

I had a horrible clock, pop, bang sounds and vibration, and noise when accelerating. Got the hubs pulled off the back and while both had play, one was smoked... Drivers side came out in pieces. New hubs, joints, and bushings and the rear is better than ever. Thanks Registry!

Had a smoking, idle hunting, backfire and stalling issue for some time as well. Feared the engine was smoked, to many miles at 7400... Again members steared me to the IH gaskets. Mine were communicating ventilation oil to the intake ports, likewise the crankcase breather was very loose. Fixed all that and fully deleted the secondaries (Thanks Jerry), and the car didn't run this well in my 60k of ownership! This returned so much vacuum that my AC blend door works again!

Had small issue with the starter, ended up being a lose battery cable stud. Tightened, bench tested and worked fine. I've had a charging issue for some time now, with AC on the voltage would drop very low. For some reason, with the stud tight, voltage is perfect again. Bonus!

Car is vibrating real bad, feels like a miss at light load. Thinking it's time to get my old injectors to the cleaners.

I can R&R the intake in about 30 min now if anyone needs a hand in the Montgomery area!

Lastly, wife surprised me with an early birthday present. Best present ever!!! Personalized plates.

Now to replace the new Prothane mounts with stock mounts, clearance the #2 primary of the steering shaft and fix the miss. She'll be perfect!!!

Thanks everyone for helping keep this dialog on the road! 20190126_180409.jpg20190126_194115.jpg20190206_153436.jpg20190206_153441.jpg20190213_110317.jpg
