    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    Is it a 5 speed? It could be transmission noise, maybe time to change the trans lube. The difference sheeran is that even when we didn't know a coolant hose from an exhaust pipe we knew when to stop yapping and listen.

    well the sanding spunge worked, sort of untill all the sand came off and it became just a sponge. So im going to try a pressure washer i have at work to see if that will take the paint off faster. Im still open to suggestions to try if you think of anything that might work. The toughest part is that they have such a deep face and small areas to get sanded.

    Joel, clusters are very common to go out in those fuckers. Also very notorious for leaky head gaskets. Not internally as in blow out but externally leaking oil and coolant out of the rear of the head. With those engines, its not if it happens, but when. They are notorious for other electrical issues as well. Steer clear of this one.
