Yes we where actually together last weekend ha would have been a good time to check it out. I haven't been a tech for 4 years now. I was a Nissan tech for 8 years and spent at least 6 of those years doing electrical engine drive ability noise diagnosis and repair.
Yes it's a crazy problem. So far it is not been anything but a nuisance. Like I said it doesn't really affect the way it drives it tracks trade steering wheel doesn't shimmy it's definitely situated right beneath the center console
@JesseJames yes maybe at the next meet up we'll take a ride in it
Sometimes you can have a problem of a messed up bushing that could be causing a vibration and/or noise. @Deleted User anytime man.
@JesseJames you may have been out for 4 years but your 8 years in the field trumps my less than a year with Freightliner haha
I'm still finishing my program with UTI and starting my qual program with Cummins.
I'm much more proficient with body electrical and drivability than this.
@Brenten.Ryan-AZ Hey at least your going into heavy trucks and diesel repair. 08 to 10 was hard on us automotive guys and it seemed like the diesel guys where impervious to the recession. I know work on heavy equipment. All I do know though is change tires on them. So no diagnosis or repairs just change the tire and go. Most of my days are spent driving my sterling boom truck all over the place.
Hey man, I thought tires were a bitch to deal with in class 8's but fuck that noise.. haha kudos to you for dealing with those. 👍
I'll be heading to Anchorage for a field service position on Cummins power generation sideonce I'm done with my training.
Plenty of money to be made on heavy equipment side
What I thought was big
@JesseJames Badass
@Brenten.Ryan-AZ ha I would rather change those pan tires over those semi truck tires any day. My truck does all the hard work. With semi tires you have to do them by hand. I have to do some semi tires here and there but mostly Otr
Otr-off the road
Ah, I didn't know that. Haha
The tires on the machine in the photo weigh roughly 3k to 4K each
Fixing the motorcycle, looks weird naked
What is that, a Sportster?
It's of Japanese origin forsure.
Sportster has a v twin design engine.
@Deleted User alright negro, I'm going to guess misfiring at high speeds. Cylinder 6 is probably the one too, which would be from the front of the truck, bank 2 right side, number 2 cylinder which is the 2nd one from the front. Check the plug, if it's ok, look to see if any other are misfiring. If you don't see any abnormal build up it's still probably the number 6 cylinder ignition coil, '09 to 14 are notorious for it. The one I bought Tuesday had the same problem, except mine shook at around 45ish. I just swapped the plug and the tube, not the ignition coil. And that fixed mine.
The guy at auto zone knew exactly what problem I was having, I upgraded the spark plugs as well
If this ends up not working I'm going to swap the ignition coil on cylinder 6.
@John O - Kawasaki Ninja 500
@Deleted User what engine do you have in that Ford?
302. Same as the Mustangs
Thanks, looking for related TSB's now.
Ty i appreciate it
No present TSB's for that specific concern brother.
Yours is a one piece drive shaft, correct?
Yes
have the other gentleman look at it when you both meet, if he can't solve it grab those Chassis ears and I'll walk you through vibration orders to get it under wraps.
Ok sounds good. Ty
@here no power to my bike. Battery is hooked up and it's reading well
Have you tried not crashing it?
@JohnStrasser Are you cables connected to the ignition sequence/not grounding out?
I think everything is connected im double checking
If it ain't the battery it's the wires.
How do I identify which wires are bad?
