Say it aint so

 

lol dennis howfor the 527?

 

Anyone with a 3G TL and 5A on here that has changed the 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches? I'm gonna do it this weekend but I'm kind of timid as I really hate messing with electronics.

 

^I could help out

 

I'll probably be at my parents house changing them out. I'm house sitting this weekend. They live out in Katy so I dunno if you wanna drive all the way there for a quick job. Have you done it before? It looks straight forward.

What would you want in return for help?

 

katy smaty.

I have never done it, but like you said. it looks straight forward. Ive read that thread, and lots of people have done it. So that gives me confidence.

 

Oh snap... this helps.

HAHA! Doesn't look too bad. PM incoming.

 

About 3-4 wks wait Did you fix your vibration issue?

 

Pretty simple and the switches are color coded so you wont mix them up

 

yup my wheels wasnt balance right... how much paying for xxr 527???

 

Well Justin and I are gonna tackle that on Saturday. We'll update the current garage with pictures from real cameras.

 

About $600 shipped but dem bitches are taking forever. Did you get a balance with the hunter road force machine?

 

^nah its wasnt even balance lol

not bad for 600 just the wheels right

 

GRRRRR.... STERLING MCCALL GAVE ME NO DISCOUNT ON PARTS.

$117 for the 2 sensors, gaskets and reservoir and elbow. They didn't have the endlinks in stock. I hope John Eagle has them.

 

Yikes!

 

Well the good news is, I found my previous receipts and I did a 3x1 on the trans was last oil change so I don't need to buy the fluid again. Saves me $40 and A LOT OF TIME.

I might hold off on the suspension too and just see if tightening the bolts will help for now. I know they will get worse again but it's worth a shot. That way I can order them from a vendor online.

 

Justin, I saw your text after dinner. Sorry. I drove out to Katy to have dinner with my girlfriend and her family. I stopped by my parents house to check the fluid levels. It was just above the bottom line so I topped it off... but that STUPID ATF fill bolt is a PITA to put back in when it's dark and you're tired.

By the time we were done, it was around 10:30. She shifts better today. The sensors are just preventive at this point.

 

^yeah, i was working in the dark as well....
kinda sucked!!!!!!!!

 

Dennis, those are the same wheels Ralph has?

 

Hey fellas......can any of you help me, i'm trying to change the Avatar on my profile and can't seem to do it..Been trying for weeks damit..lol

 

Nah, Ralph got the 522 and I'm getting the 527

 

on the top main menu bar, click on the word SETTINGS. then on the left hand side there will be an avy setting

 

Got it....Thank you!

 

yup

 

if any one is looking for a redline oil alternative .....
Mobil1 0w-40 is it.
M1 has a HTHS(High Temp High Sheer) rating of 3.8%
while redline 5w-30 has a HTHS of 3.9%

I picked up 5 quarts of m1 and filter for 30 bucks at autozone.

 

i thought it didnt matter what oil is used in the TL

 

I'm an enthusiast. nothing butt the best, right?

m1 0w-40 is a true synthetic much like redline.
it also compares with the high temp high sheer rating.

Under those HIGH temperature conditions, I dont want an oil to break down.

 

German Castrol

40wt might be a bit thick. I use 0w-30 or 5w30 Synthetic. 20wts scare me. Granted, I'm use to dumping 6 quarts of Shell Rotella T 15w40 into the Jeep.

 

umm I thought only m1 extended performance was true synthetic

 

nice Carlo, you're using good oils!
before this change, I was using M1 0w-20....A little thin.

 

any of the mobile1 0 weights are true synthetics...
I tried the 0w-20 but I felt it was to thin, also I beat on my car and go for short trips. the 0w-20 had a HTHS rating of 3.6% i believe.
my oil life said 40% last night, but the oil was black. Changed it to the 0w-40 as some one recommended it on AZ

 

Why thank you. I actually thing the TL ran the smoothest on Motorcraft 5w20. It's made by ConocoPhilips and is a syn-blend. But... I don't really like 20wts.

I've used:
Syntec 5w20 (underrated)
Edge 5w30
Mobil 1 0w30 AFE (Currently in the sump)

I might stick with the 0w30 for the quick flow on start up but I heard Quaker State has a new syn out and Wallyworld has it for $19/jug. It meets the new SN rating.

 

I currently use M1 0w30 with m1 filter,my mid currently says 80% oil life....BTW THANKS DENNIS,I GOT MY CV JOINT FIXED TODAY. BOTH MY AXLE AND THE ONE U GAVE ME ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. I also fixed my ebrake,now my ebrake is fully functional again.

 

Took this today

 

Always glad to help a brother out. So y'all got me interested in this 0w oil. What is the advantage/disadvantage over 5w?

 

Sweeeeet!!! Imma need a shoot if and when these damn wheels get here

 

a true synthetic oil.
Basically when temperatures are HIGH, the oil sheers or breaks down. you want to look for an oil with a High Temperature High Sheer rating of 3.6% or better.
although 0w-40 might be a little thick for Houston's heat. We'll see as I'm the guinea pig.

 

I need to buy myself a camera.

 

Oh so 0w-30 should be around the right grade huh?
Man I opened my big mouth and told my girl I'd buy her a nikon since I stole hers Those things are hella expensive
