Well, they made it official today. I got a promotion, officially a Manager starting Monday. Salary position with a huge retirement bump. My gross is going to be gutted (tons of OT here) but its taking 4 years off my retirement date and should save me from back surgery in the next few years. Damn double edged sword. Oh well.
Going to only have 1 mechanic working for me, but there will be 14 other Managers and their mechanics that kinda answer to me. Weird position having peers answer to me for some stuff, but I can't hold them accountable directly. Going to be interesting and a real challenge. Guess I am a glutton for punishment. |

Any issues with either of those that you see? Nothing really to note, have had a few issues with the cvts for the non turbo cars but thats expected of first gen tech @PorkchopSandwhiches |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By saturnstyl: Pretty cool day at work. SLR in for a few little things, a couple batteries and tires and a brake fluid change. Road test revealed a major evap leak. Found a broken fitting for fuel tank vent hoses, $275 and comes from the father land for about fifty cents worth of plastic and maybe three bucks of rubber hose. SLS is in for a dead battery, its an odd size that has to be special ordered. I've got a GLS450 that has been in the shop for over two months. We've been dealing with it for a while, and its history is a real mystery. 2017 model, under 10K miles. Shows absolutely no history until early 2020 and shows it was "consignment" with the warranty beginning just recently. Its a very high demand vehicle and black/black so it should have sold quickly and we cannot figure its past. Vehicle was purchased at auction and we did a CPO certification. We did motor mounts for a vibration. The client purchased it immediately (again, very high demand model and color) and brought it in a few times for a vibration. It had a rear driveshaft replaced. It had a missing front driveshaft bolt installed. It had tires balanced and such.... and it bounced back several times with increasing levels of scrutiny. I have it dropped in my lap. I look it over, throw exhaust hangers and a front driveshaft at it. No luck. It vibrates under acceleration at 42-44mph most noticeably. If it is not at that speed, it does not vibrate at all. It does not matter what gear its in, it does not matter RPM or anything else, only road speed. As you accelerate you might notice a quick vibe at 30, 50, 70, 80mph, but this is very noticeable at 42-44. I am using PICO NVH to figure it out and quickly see that the vibration does not correlate with any known parameters such as driveshaft, engine, or wheel speeds. The pico relies on those calculations to correlate the vibration to specific components, but we are not seeing anything. I involved tech support and did a huge ordeal. Swapped wheels and tires from a known good vehicle, no effect. Untension motor mounts and such, no effect. We go back and forth for literally weeks. Replace this, replace that, no change. There is nothing you can do to alter or effect the vibration. Accelerate, and at 42-44mph, it vibrates with the same intensity regardless of what has been done to the vehicle. I've taken CAN data traces and NVH graphs and uploaded them along with video... on and on... Replaced valve body in the trans, nothing happened. Replaced the entire transmission and torque converter, no change whatsoever. Replaced the front axle shafts, the front differential and the left front wheel bearing. Nothing changes. Tech ramps up their efforts and I spend an entire day taking NVH readings and moving the probe around and uploading the information I obtain. Two engineers arrive and spent the entire day with me. We had four NVH pickups between us, and we used the hell out of them. We discovered that the vibration begins in the rear just a fraction of a second before the front, and is a tiny bit more intense in the front than the rear, but this is splitting hairs. Effectively it comes in with the same intensity everywhere at once. Its at 39hz. It only does it as I describe, at 42-44mph. They videoed the driveshaft as a last resort and left with a lot of data but no resolution. Germany doesn't use PICO NVH so our data is useless to them. I untensioned the mounts again, even though the NVH probes say the vibration is not from the engine. Its been hanging around with me swapping a known good trans mount and measuring driveshaft angles of it and several other vehicles for comparison, even though the NVH data proves it doesn't effect the crossmember for the trans. I loosened the fuel tank and wiggled it, and also loosened and retorqued the subframe bolts. Nothing changes at all. So I believe the body has a natural frequency of 39hz and this thing hits it and resonates. I don't believe it can be repaired. I've got 85 hours in to this thing, and nobody has ever done anything to alter the vibration. There are at least two other vehicles we know of that have the same issue, and I don't believe they were repaired either. I know at least one was bought back. We traded the customer out of this thing after thirty days in the shop. We figured that it had to be something and we were on the cusp of figuring it out, but we have still gotten nowhere. I've never seen anything like it. All the glass original? I’d tape up all the body gaps and drive it just to see if changing the airflow did anything. |

Just absolute garbage showing up for that free 1 hour diag. My current pile is a Sprinter motorhome bought at auction. The outside is totaled, the inside is totaled, no keys, mold and needles everywhere. Belt blew off, zip tied it up and ran until the engine seized. Brilliant. Listed as a stolen recovery, but he was doing 4000 miles a week for a solid 6 months. |

Technically the no handle wrenches will fit in a few places that one wont, but you have to get your hand onto it to turn it ... which doesn't work so well sometimes. Don't forget to have a pipe to extend the handle on it ... LOL.

So I got the heads and the block all cleaned up one the vortec and the cylinder with the scoring is too far gone.
I put the head on with a new HG and did a leak down test and it leaks it ass off past the rings, also that cylinder and plug was really oily. The other two cylinders had very little leakage. |

The seals are not good. But they are good enough to let water pool in the connection. New module might fix, but it also corrodes the pins on the headlight assembly so it may need new there as well. |

Dealing with an intermittent powertrain CAN failure of CAN high which is extremely brief. 24 frames frozen on the scope and one block of one frame shows the fault occur. We had previously done a transmission control unit and a trans/ism harness. Went to do an ISM today and saw it was already new. Another dealer had done an engine control unit and ISM, apparently the car got traded and sent to auction, a used car lot bought it and the problem showed up there. I've diagnosed the harness and replaced it, the vehicle was fixed until a month later, when the problem occurred again, but extremely infrequently.
I had just convinced myself it was the ISM and when I saw it was new I kept looking. Ripped the entire thing apart front to back and traced all the wiring for powertrain CAN. Found a tiny nick in the body harness on the underside of the harness, where it laid across a bracket near the HPFP. A small glint of copper was all I got when I spread the harness. |

We are still super busy at work. I just put the final touches to this 988G, a complete rebuild, actually the second 988 in a row. I have now started on a 826 rebuild with a 836K to do next. We also have a D10T, 990K and a 775 in process of being rebuilt. A 836H just finished and went to paint.. A 980M is waiting outside for a rebuild when space is available. Some rebuilds were turned away as we are too busy. We still have all the normal repairs comingi in.

Guy at work put a 3054, a 4 cylinder engine into a Jeep and ran it off bio fuel when bio fuel wasn't very common back in the early 2000s. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By newguy2k3: God those 3208s were so gutless Hey now, my first service truck had a 3208 NA in it. Top speed of 57 and only took about 2 miles to get up to speed going downhill with a tailwind. So it was full of power. Years ago, Did a transmission service on a 1 ton suburban, the old guy stuffed a 3208 in it and had an old Allison AT545 behind it. I never drove it, but he said it did good. |
