bump

...update...I noticed it does it more during the very hot weather here in Fresno so that is making me lean towards the fluid. A definite service is in the plans but maybe also a trans cooler. Still looking for input from you very knowledgeable experts out there... thanks!!

...does anybody else have any ideas what might have happened. Fluid wasn't low...first thing I checked. Shops want $260 to drop the pan, check for metal, change the filter and gasket then pump and replace all the fluid!! Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

...it has only happened once, then I parked it for a week, took it again and now it appears fine? Anybody else have this happen? What am I looking at, a shift solenoid possibly?? Need a service...well I know it needs that because it has been to long anyway. Only about 40k on the new rebuilt ...

Update...it is gone! After redoing everything and going premium along with bleeding the lines it is free of noise!! Once in a great while you hear a slight moan but basically I am good to go! LadyMac believes it was the brake line bleeding that did the trick! Hey, I can't argue with her, it works!!

I just got the ultra gauge and was wondering if anyone could tell me which gauges are best to have on the 1st page all the time? This will be for the 2000 SSEi...I think I can put up to 8 on there but maybe only 6...what does everyone think? Thanks!

Thanks dayton...I am sorry but misery does love company. I have now put new rotors, new premium Napa pads, completely cleaned all boots, calipers, mounts, bolts and lightly lubed moving parts. Have bled each side and have basically done everything except rebuild the caliper. I got excited for a ...

Excellent Ryan...it looks sharp! Are you going to offer this to the members here?? ;-) Count me in if you do...great job!

They are NAPA mid grade and they have a beveled ends if that is what you mean. It has been suggested that I get the pads with the seperation in the middle and that will solve my problem. I am at the point where i am going to replace the calipers to see if that is the problem!!!!!!

Not a bearing...it is in the rear both sides! We have narrowed it down to either bleeding the lines or of that it isn't then rebuild the calipers! Beyond frustration...gearheads can you put your heads together on this one?? Thanks!

...nobody can answer this question?? I thought this one would be a no brainer for the experts...hahahaha! Anybody?

At all speeds but usually when it heats up a little bit. You can pump the brakes and it is less severe but it never goes away. If I can anticipate the stop and stop like an old lady, very lightly braking for 100 yds before the stop then I can avoid the groan, or as my Son calls it, the whale sound ...

...well I did a second bedding as described and it is still moaning and groaning like a banshee?????????????????? Has anybody else had this problem and what the hell did you do about it??? Please.......................................

Hey all...do any of you experts out there no if a 2000-2001 SE gauge cluster will work in a 2005 SE? Any issues with compatibility?? Can the individual gauges be swapped out? Thanks in advance...

Sorry Archon but I just got through replacing all 4 rotors and pads! I just took it out this morning and did the seating as described above or as close as I could come anyway so we will see what that does. This is just frustrating the heck out of me...

Ok, I am completely frustrated with this situation now!! I have now replaced all rotors and pads with Napa medium grade, lubed them up well and I am still geting the groan!!! It is not a squeal but a moan or a groan. Kind of like running your finger around the rim of a crystal glass but a lower ...

Ok, I have ask Andrew to give me a price on one of those too...thanks!

oh...duh!! Pulley was wobbly...not alot but it was moving back and forth...sorry

He was able to turn it back and forth and it had the rubber falling off the face of the plate.

Looks like it is the HB after all...had a mechanic come and look at it and he was able to turn the HB back and forth as well as there are pieces of rubber coming off the face. He said the water pump is going bad too and I am pretty ticked at that because we just got through replacing that with the ...
