Hey i kinda dumped the clutch a little bit in 1st gear and now my gearstick moves a long way i heard a crunch and i think something fell through the gearbox all the gears work fine, it stays in gear, linkages seem to all be good, the gear stick just seems to shivel a lot now allowing it to move in ...

yeh so when i put it on.. do i need to use any stuff to seal it or anything its just buy the gasket take the rocker cover off.. remove the remains of the old one do i clean up a bit? put teh new gasket down bolt the rocker cover back on.. and make sure i have all the leads back in the right place so ...

Hey, I went into automasters and i got my front wheel bearings done cost me a few hundred odd... First problem is, is they put my front left hub on wrong and so i cant lock it correctly so no 4wd for me at the moment. (hope that doesnt cause any damage? im taking it back to them for them to corect ...

yeh it doesnt make the noise when i use the clutch

so what type of back brakes does a sierra have and how do they work?

is it hard to change them? and where are they?

i drove a few times with the handbrake on by accident wouldve this caused it?

thanks
ben

I just got my front wheel bearings done and yeah there is still this noise when i brake at the rear o fthe car the guy said i should get my rear brakes checked... Does a 87 sierra have rear brakes? I have a feeling its the exhaust cause it just starts after i finished and smacked my exhaust a bit ...

Hey, I have a spare softtop.. just wondering what it would be worth.. I am going to try and get hard top to put on my sierra as i be moving to the big smoke and the soft top is just to vulnerable for my liking.. It is in excellent condition BESIDES from a 5cm tear in the seam at the back.. but this ...

Perth! probably the most expensive location?

how much am i looking at to get this done?

big money?

cheers

the discs have scrathes on them but dont look to bad!! so i will get the bearings done

it is both the front

the passenger side there is 2 noises.. the disc and some whirring noise
drivers side its just the disc

u hear a squeaking when im actually driving and the tyres dont move around smoothe at all :(

hey,

i jacked up the drivers side of my sierra to check the tyres

The tyre doesnt move more then 1mm but when i turn it, it makes a scraping noise like ScrhhHhh what could that be?

cheers
ben

i smashed in a curb after a calculus exam pretty hard.. so ig ot wheel alignment and balance done after that..

only other thing i done was get towed down a few hills about 10km and that heated up my brakes a lot cause i had to have them right on
;|

whats wrong with just revving it up when u start the car? ;| :|

nah im not really mechanically minded!! i will pay someone to fix it i just want to know what u guys think it is

so i dont get ripped

cheers

can you tell me what that means please!
really bad?

moves about 3mm (is that to much?)

how do you wear pads? i got towed once about 10km down a lot of hills! so that mightve heated those up?

The wheel on the drivers side of my sierra is making a lot of noises.. when 4wding you can hear a lot of squeaks..

When on the open road u hear a humming noise and a irratic squeaking noise

What could be wrong with it? It is getting worse and worse :|

cheers

Will you be wearing a bikini?


Hrm.. going to mandurah 2morrow... just wondering what side is the beach entrance... bunbury side or perth side..

Cheers
Ben

well my car uses like no water not sure if thats a good or bad thing...

did a 800km drive once and the water barely went down at all

so could it be a blockage? and how could i find out

cheers

the front drivers side tyre moves about 2mm is that wheel bearings?

maybe they make noise 2? ehehe

yeh it is a softop..

i can just hear engine revs etc etc just sounds rather noisy!! other cars are way more sound proof haha

from the back i can only hear the exhaust doing its thing..

my idle starts normal.. but after like a 2minute drive it sits really high!!

could that be the idle screw to?

yeah true... isnt that kind of rubber pretty expensive though? was looking at a cheap option

Are sierras just generally noisy or is it a sign they are going? Put a new gearbox in.. that no longer makes a noise!! but that is all the other noises the car makes.. Is carpetting it a good idea? (with cheap offcuts) and will that help at all? What about that spray on stuff! give me ideas and ...

yeah ive seen out of a sierra before thats how i know what it looks like! Its just yeah when i fiirst got the sierra year or so back everyone went on about

Exhaust/extractors which ive now done
and removing the sway bar...

so yeh take it off and see how it feels 2morrow
