    %&*$#$ What part did I break?

    just your PVC lines...replace them with braided rubber hoses and generic plastic T's and elbows from the hardware store...You can do the whole project for <$20 and never have to worry about it again.

    New engine

    He might be referring to the wierd oil sludge that builds up around the oil fill cap/PCV valve area sometimes...Havent read anything about this causing any problems though. Any swap would probably require a full drivetrain and electronics swap. That means you would need an entire donor...

    Crankcase ventilation hose tee junction fail!

    I replaced that whole system with generic parts from the local hardware store... Nice rubber hose instead of the brittle plastic garbage, sturdier fittings, generic hose clamps. No problem at all doing this, just make sure it all sticks together tight. You dont want unfiltered air getting...

    Oil change-how often?

    Everyone has their own thoughts about this that will run the gamut from every 3k (mi) to every 12k. The best way to find out whats right for YOUR engine is to have an oil analysis done periodically. http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ Blackstone isnt the only company that does it, just the first...

    No squirty squirty

    05 limited Wiper fluid failure. Doesnt go to rear or front. When we bought the vehicle, fluid to the rear was very weak...basically just dribbled down the window a little but the front worked normally. It also dripped to the rear a little when spraying the front. Now there is no fluid going...

    Popping and Creeking in the Rear

    Any polyurethane bushings? Its something you would have had to install yourself. Its a much harder material than factory rubber.

    Popping and Creeking in the Rear

    Did you install poly bushings back there? If so, lots and lots of grease may keep it at bay but it will be a constant battle.

    Aem install, a lil more of cold air.

    Do you have any idea how many stickers you could have got with $206?

    Broke some PCV stuff.

    I replaced all those hoses and fittings with some nice reinforced rubber hose and plastic fittings from the hardware store...I hate that brittle OEM stuff. Probably cost me less than $10 to redo the whole system in materials that will never fail again.

    PCV vavle hose filter?

    Could always fit up something like this if you want something with better filtering qualities: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=6946 Thats the first website I picked, but those are available pretty much anywhere.

    U Joint lessons learned

    Replaced my front U joint on the prop shaft yesterday. Never done this job before so I learned a lot... -Dont try to do it in place. Just take off the shaft and do it on the bench. I wasted quite a bit of time trying to avoid taking it out. -The bench vice is solid gold for this job...

    Troubleshooting squeaky noise

    Found lots of rust on the rotors, banged that off best I could. Found the forward U-joint on the prop shaft is broken...fixing that this afternoon. When I turn the wheels by hand, the rear P side makes a little grinding noise...not sure if its rust from the rotors moving around in there, or...

    Doomed?

    Dont think I'm losing fluid, I think I just didnt add enough to begin with when I did the initial change. Once its moving, its fine. Shifts smoothly, all is well. Sometimes when coming to a stop though, it doesnt seem to want to shift from neutral into go. So we step on the gas and dont move...

    Troubleshooting squeaky noise

    Okay, I made a thread about this a while back and got some ideas but never really resolved anything because I didnt make it a priority at the time so Id like to ask again: The 05 limited is making a squeaky/chirping noise related to wheel speed. Most noticeable at low speed, not sure if it...

    Doomed?

    Update: I ended up adding another quart of ATF and that seemed to fix it up for a few months, but the problem has returned and seems to be getting worse. I'm going to get off my A__ and redo the oil change again and get the new filter installed...Hope it works, I'd rather not have to replace...
