71Dart

I call mine the spaceship when it makes this sound, first time i heard it was this past summer and ive owned the truck for 2 years, it has done it 2 times usually after i drive it hard... once i drive nice again it goes away, the noise got louder as the revs went up until about 3000 or 3500 where i couldnt hear it anymore. and i have 93 stickshift...

Hey B, I hope you put money on the Battery, i have a 71 dodge that i took the battery out of because it was brand new, and it has cranked slowly since then, the reason i posted was because i would jump it and it would be fine and then start slowly later, i will also do a check for auto locks auto locking Thanks again for the help, Nick

Thanks, im gonna leave it overnight and check the crank in the morning, i think it should be fine now! im hoping...

heres the update, cam home from work today and it was real slow and dead, hooked up the jumpers and brought it to life, i believe the starter is fine because it now cranked really fast and started, i tried to move the starter it was solid, i pulled the electrical plugs out at the postive terminal and cleaned, cleaned both terminals, however did not check the starter wires because it is very rainy day and my truck was dripping allover me. this sounds like power is being drained while power is off, i switched out the battery with my brand new spare for my other project, and it started fine. is it possible that the power could be going somewhere with it off, i have a power locks problem where the locks auto lock when doors are shut (as a result of being broken into 2 times) any suggestions now? Thanks Nick

Thanks B, ill let you know

i test the starter draw at the battery or? on the starter itself? still not home yet just wanna work on my truck!

would you suggest going back to the shop (if for some reason i cant find it myself) and asking them to take a look at it?

I will check it out once i get home from this long day, ill see what i can find and post it on here, is there any chance that it wont be a starter issue? Nick

Hey, I had my clutch done on my truck in late July, I was too lazy to do it myself, and i had no time, after i got it back from the shop it was cranking over really slow, but it was still starting, my truck used to crank over really fast and today it did not start in the cold and the rain. My first thought on this problem was that it was the starter so i left a battery charger on it overnight and it did nothing, i tested the battery yesterday and it read fully charged, so then i thought alternator but if battery is charged alternator is fine, the last thing i thought was starter, but i cant figure this problem out, some help me, if you have any questions let me know. If anyone has had this problem or know of it, or have a link to a forum in here about it let me know (I did a search but didnt find anything) Thanks, Nick

thanks guys, uhh i dont do much work to my truck, the center iirc is the what?

excuse me if this is in the wrong forum, this is my first post, i have had my pathfinder for over 2 years and put over 60,000 kms on it and never had a problem until now, driving along one day went to shift gears pushed in clutch pedal and POP! no clutch but truck is still driveable. Now my question is: on my 1993 pathfinder XE, 5 speed,is the slave cylinder external or internal on the transmission? i did my best to look through the forums to try and find help, no luck! i go to a similar website for my other car and im hoping you guys on here are just as helpful if not more helpful Thanks, Nick
