I've got my serial/USB connector at my house. Dunno if that would do you any good though. I could meet up with you or something if you like.

Huh...I've not heard of this issue being "common" with the 3.0 until this. Not to say it wasn't there, just not mentioned. I'll say this, I never sold a single distributor for a 12V 3.0 while working...

My Z had the reluctor wheel come loose similar to what you describe, so effectively I had a similar problem, but to a lessor extent because my rotor didn't come loose. I had always wondered why my...

VERY nice, Brent! :thumb:

Oh sure....just because my car is infinitely broken I get blamed for busting yours! LOL :P :bolt:

I liked the backfires...because race car!! Right? :D

Glad you did get it fixed. Honestly I...

Glad you got it fixed. I was actually going to suggest that you start taking away circuits until things quite blowing. You got there before me! :)

Also good news about the knock recordings (well...

Man, it's a shame you never have gotten to drive my Daytona with the TU Purple Plate and 6-puck disc. I think you would like it.

Looking at the intercooler, I guess it might have been a small...

JB Weld is your friend! ;-)

I've got 3-1/2 of them IIRC...

Edit: The truck is a '99 Ram 2500 2WD with the 5.9L 360ci gas engine. I did tow it around 50-60, but I am also a mpg, grandma-driving, slow person in my truck because, well....it sucks on fuel...

Looks like #4 was knocking a bit too. There's aluminum "salt" all over it. If it ripped the top ringland off, what we may have been hearing is the bottom part of the piston just rattling all around...

That doesn't sound right. I distinctly remember jiggling mine for my '90 when I would replace it (I used to do it every oil change there for a while). Then again, that's been quite a while ago, so...

You got that right, Brent! Kumho XS tires. Tread wear = 180! 1 level above a DOT approved race tire. GREAT in warm weather, even wet. Not so great in this cooler wet stuff...at all!!

All I know is that the roads around here have NO traction, regardless of temperature or moisture! All my car does is spin unless I get on it from 50 in 4th, but then the fun is over VERY quickly. :(

I didn't drive it. Just rode in it, but that was good enough for me!

After riding in the car it is a TON of fun! (thanks Brent! ;) )At some point I WILL turbo a 3.0 like I've wanted to do for SO long! What an awesome driving experience! Nice low down torque and power...

Acclaim taillights look sweet!!

If you have the adapter plate it will bolt in IIRC.

OK smart butt! LOL ;)

Are you talking about V6's? That's the only way that makes any sense to me.



I can't speak for the 3.0 too much here because I never ran into this issue with my stock engine and never gave it...

I concur with the vapor locking theory. I had it happen to my Shelby Z when I was running low fuel pressure (on purpose) as well. It would ONLY do it on hot restart after about 20 minutes of sitting...

When I used to race my '90 Daytona I'd leave the car running in the lanes with the hood open. This kept the intake cool. I would also disconnect the A/C compressor and then turn on the A/C to run the...

Well, consider that you are putting a fairly large torque load all the way through the shafts to an overhanging 5th that is only supported on one side...yeah, I could see that being hard on the...

Air tools FTW! ;)

Sounds like a valve guide or seal to me, even though you dismissed that idea....
