• Remove plugs from the differential housing and vacuum fluid from the carrier housing. Flush the housing to remove debris and dry all internal components. Install an endoscope and check all internal components for excessive wear. Found that the inner pinion bearing was faulty and the source of the noise. It is recommended that the carrier bearing and also pinion bearings ne replaced. Remove drive shaft, yoke, and support bracket to access the pinion seal. Remove the old seal assembly and deflector, Clean the yoke and housing bore and polish the sealing surface of the yoke. Replace all of the carrier bearing and both pinion bearings and set the proper preload on all replaced components. Install the new seal, lubricate the seal lip and reassemble the yoke assembly. Adjust the pinion turning torque and reassemble the carrier components. Add fluid to capacity and additive if necessary. Road test vehicle and recheck fluid levels and check for leaks.

• Check the Condition Of the Engine Mounts
• Check the vehicles under hood fluid levels and remove the oil fill cap and breather assemblies (where applicable) Remove the vehicles engine oil drain plug, and drain the contents of the engines oil pan or sump. Remove the filter assembly and clean the sealing surfaces of the housing for reinstallation. On cartridge equipped vehicles, replace the housing O rings and clean the debris from the housing and relief valves. Lubricate the O rings on the housing and or the filter assembly and replace the filter or element. Clean and inspect the oil drain plug gasket, and check the threads in the engines oil pan. Torque the plug to the manufacturers specification using a new gasket where required. Clean the grease zerks to remove debris, and lubricate all accessible fittings on the vehicles steering, suspension, driveline and chassis components. Check and or set the tire pressures and relearn the TPMS system where required. Fill the engine with the manufacturers specified type, grade, and viscosity engine oil and verify level after purging the new filter. Check and or top off all low fluid levels and reset the maintenance reminder system where applicable. Note. Some vehicles maintenance reminders do not take on initial reset. If your maintenance light happens to come on following an oil service, please give us a call so we can correct it.
• Install data scanner and engine analyzer. Run tests on the fuel, ignition, and computer control systems. Retrieve fault codes from the processors memory. Codes exist in the system for (P0171) system lean bank #1 (P0303) misfire on cylinder #3, (P0316) misfire detected, and (P0357) ignition coil primary circuit fault. Perform all necessary pin point tests checking the wiring, grounds, relays, and related circuit components to isolate the problem to a faulty ignition coil assembly. It is recommended that the ignition coil be replaced along with electrical connector to repair the issue.
• Remove all components necessary in order to gain access to the engine mounts. Remove all attaching hardware for the mounts and raise the engine slightly in order to remove the engine mounts. Remove the mount from the vehicle and install the new mounts into position and tighten all hardware to specification. Lower the engine back into position and center the driveline. Install all previously removed components back to original configuration and road test the vehicle. NOTE: The starter had to be removed to be able to remove the engine mount and one of the terminal posts broke off during the removal process due to age/deterioration and will need to be replaced due to the damage.
• Remove front steering and suspension components and spindles. Remove retaining rings or clips and remove ball joint assemblies from the control arm. Clean the control arm bore and press in new lower joint. Lubricate all steering and suspension components and check the preload of the spindle. Replace steering and braking system […]

• Change the vehicles engine oil and filter and service all applicable lubrication points. Check and adjust the tire pressures as well as all fluid levels. Rotate the vehicles tires as needed to their best suited locations, and inspect the braking system components for wear. Check the cooling system for acidity and freeze protection and perform a full electrical system analysis, testing the battery, starter, alternator, and charging system capacity. Perform a vehicle inspection for maintenance items checking all ancillary vehicle systems for potential issues.
• The engine light is on for a warm up efficiency issue. All readings are well within specification at this time. Reset the system to remove the faults and return the vehicle to the customer. If the light returns, the vehicle should be dropped off to isolate the cause. Note: this code will not cause issues with reliability or longevity.

Run the engine to circulate the coolant checking the freeze point and acidity to insure a proper mixture is in the system. Run the engine to operating temperature and purge air from the system. Install the data scanner and remove any fault codes associated with the thermostat issue. Monitor the data during warm up, and verify that the electric cooling fans are operating within their specified temperature range. Check system for leaks and road test. NOTE: If the system develops an air pocket, the coolant level may decrease slightly causing a warning lamp, and or fluctuations in heat output. If this occurs, the customer should return to have […]
