Sorry guy's I know it's kinda a hard thing to diagnose when I can't really explain the noise. But when I'm at a dead stop and I start to take off from like 0-5mph my truck makes a clicking popping noise (not grinding noises)it's not supper loud and the truck doesn't jolt or jerk when the noise is occurring. The noise stops when you get over 5mph. It kinda sounds like how a rear end does when it's going out when they make that popping grinding noise as soon as you take off and it jerks and jolts the truck. BUT I know for sure it's not my rear end. the sound, sounds like it's coming from under the drivers seat. Any help or info on what it could possibly be would be awesome!!! This noise has been going on for a while now. (2003 GMC Sierra with 158,000 miles)

Mine is making a similar noise, but I think mine is the rear diff. Mine is not limited too low speed and its intermittant. I seem to have excessive lash on the ring and pinion. No jolting or bucking though. Next chance I get, I'm going to pull the diff covery and check it all out. I'm expecting to have to rebuild the rear very soon.

Good luck with that[emoji106] lol I've had to deal with rebuilds several different times haha I've always found it cheaper and easier to go to a junk yard and buy a whole new rear end off a wrecked truck. You can usually pick up a posi with "lower" mileage for around 175 to 300 just depends on the yard tho

Cheaper, yeah but if I rebuild it, it will be all new. Not sure I want to go through the work of a swap and maybe end up with more problems.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
