05 Problems Didn't Sound Good!!

[HuntD]

Yesterday I was test driving my truck after changing the manual shift lever and control module on transmission, I was driving about 30mph punched it till about 75mph and when I let off sounded like I had someone under the hood beating on the engine with hammers. So I put it in Neutral and coasted to a stop about 100ft then killed it, looked under the hood but no signs, checked oil still looks good? Is this going to be a dropped valve? It will not start. My luck, I was going to have the valves checked this week. Truck has 58,000. :{

Bummer man. When you crank it over does it lope or skip a beat at all? Getting any white smoke out the exhaust? A quick punch from 30-75 shouldn't hurt anything unless it was something waiting to let go. . .

It sounds like clank,clank,clank,clank, I was having a noise @ 1800-2000rpm @ about 60-70mph I had brought my truck to local diesel mech. thursday to do balance test to see if it was injectors, but he was very busy told me to come back today. I dropped it off last night and fixin to give him a call right now. What is the best way to go about fixin it if valve did drop?

Well I broke the Flexplate, I guess I got lucky this time.

Whew, very inexpensive compared to a major engine job!

 

[HighRanger]

Yeah, you are so lucky.

When you got your full trans did you get a flexplate? I thought that was a known weak point? Are you going to get some kind of upgraded plate or did you just get a bad one and are just use the same basic type again?



Glad to hear it wasn't worse.

No, this was the stock flywheel, I ordered a BD flexplate to replace it, I would go with the billet but then you put more strain on input shafts? right. I rather the flexplate brake than the input shaft, even though I have billet shafts. The mechanic said he never seen one just ripped apart and bolts still tight.

punched it from 55 to 75..... shift into 4th took out my flexplate #@$%!
