All,
My Dak has developed a couple problems that I thought I'd ask you guys if
you've ever experienced. Just for some background I have a Black 97 Club
Cab Sport V6 (http://www.ionet.net/~mmuegge_osu). The most alarming
problem is that while idling the engine has a distinct rattle to it. The
main reason this concerns me is that there is a Service Bulletin listed at
http://www.alldata.com/TSB/17/971726CX.html (#38 under "Service Bulletins"
- Timing Chain Noise). I called the warranty people and they said that
they'd be glad to look at this for me for $60 up front. It was also
suggested that I get a fuel system cleaning which sounds like a good idea.
Any thoughts? My second problem is that my gear shift knob is cracked
around the base and thus loose. Anyone that drives my truck grabs that
thing and yanks it off every time and I'm afraid the wiring for the
overdrive shutoff is going to get messed up. Are there any aftermarket
knobs that accomodate that overdrive button? I assume I'll just need to go
to my local dealership and order a new one. My final problem is that the
black paint on the metal part of my front bumper is chipping and peeling
off. It looks to me like there is bare metal underneath like the bumper
was never primed before it was painted. Anyone else have any of these
issues and if so how did you go about fixing them?
Thanks,
