    Also getting lots of blowby now. white smoke coming from dipstick. if I remove fill cap and place it upside down it does not blow off but there is a good amount of smoke. there has always been some but this is about 10x's the amount. completely removed my exhaust to weed out possibility of that...

    loud clunk from motor when turning engine off, dash fues blowing

    would I be able to see a crack by removing the inspection cover? I don't see any cracks and from the tiny marks from the flywheel to the TC they have not moved independently. could it be inside the TC? I just had this tranny rebuilt 2 years ago... shop whet out of business so no warranty for me.

    loud clunk from motor when turning engine off, dash fues blowing

    just an update... the dash gauge fuse blowing was due to the overdrive button wire rubbing on the frame at the base of the shifter. repaired the exposed wires and re routed it so it will not continue to rub when shifting.

    loud clunk from motor when turning engine off, dash fues blowing

    automatic. it sounds like it is up front in the motor. i had the tranny rebuildt last year. i will have it checked. it is intermittent. i remember it used to make a compression sound like woosh. it never makes that sound anymore. when it clanks it is extreemly loud.

    question about batteries

    it the smart charger and the battery tender the same thing? i'd like to mount mine permanent and hand the plug by the block heater plug. also, does it matter what battery it is attached to? will it tend both batteries from one or do you need to set up each battery separately?

    radiator hose cold... water pump?

    i only used gasket. no goop. no leaks. since installing the new thermostat my temp gauge is working. old stat must have been stuck open. in town drives gauge reads 1/4. 7-mph freeway runs almost 1/2 temp. i dont think stat has opened yet. still have not covered radiator to boost temps.

    radiator hose cold... water pump?

    thermostat is installed correctly. there is no way to install it incorrectly. i will try the cardboard. i dont think it is getting to temp. newer water pump and no play or grinding sound. drove it 3 hours and never got hot enough to open. its average 40-50* lately

    if the tie rod ends are tightened so the tie rod is stressed or at the wrong angle they will pop and bang every time you turn. loosen them up and turn tie rod bar 1/4 of a rotation and tighten back up it will change the dramatics of the pop. then adjust accordingly depending if it gets louder or...

    puffin like a chiminy

    check the fuel filter. is it dark with oil? pull it up out of the fuel bowl and scrape a filter fin with your fingernail and see if you pick up a gob of oil. if so, your O-rings are leaking.
