What have you done to your square lately??

After the new cam install I started hearing a loud metal to metal clang. I set the truck aside and started pulling the engine apart to find the culprit. The top end moved like it is supposed to with just a little rocker slap. No sticky valves or pushrods, no broken springs so that wasn't the issue. I took the oil pan and timing chain cover off; nothing amiss there. But when I put everything back together the clang was still there.
So last night I'm under the truck staring up into the guts of the engine and can't see any cracked connecting rods, there's no play in the crank and there's oil on my face. I threw a little tantrum and in smacking things I found what was making noise. The torque converter had come loose from the flex plate.
Moral of the story: hit things and you find out what's not right.

Ive had that issue before too

Jacked up the front and started it to see if the wheels turned trying to diagnose the pull to the right.

They did not, so I swapped the front tires around .

Therapy after a frustrating day at work.

As a bonus, I know know what the pull is.

Downside is tire shopping I will now go ...

Nice idea, but would probably only happen if I power brake the hell out of it after dousing both tires in tranny fluid


Translation: the engine, she be old and weak.
