    "Binding" in Reverse

    I had my RDU clutch lock up on me for a while a few winters ago when it was cold as helll out and did just what your describe. It unlocked on it's own and has been fine since. When the PTU went out on my wife's SEL it wouldn't back up but it shouldn't matter if the wheels are turned or not.

    SHO is good so far...

    Buy Royal Purple if you like spending 2-3 times more than any other comparable gearlube I guess. It's all going to need replacing every 10,000 miles or so when it's fried anyways. Better yet, save the money and replace it every engine oil change and you'll never have trouble.

    PTU gear oil chane

    Either way, another reason to go with catless downpipes.:cool:

    PTU gear oil chane

    Fair enough, but your post stated you were coaching the stealership how to do it. That's why I assumed it was being done on a hoist.

    PTU gear oil chane

    I have a pit so if you're up on a hoist....same deal. As long as the converter is cool and you have a fine tooth ratchet I can fairly easily slide my larger hands/forearms right up along the PTU and get the plug out in about 2-3 minutes. The initial indexing of the 3/8" socket into the plug is...

    Timing chain warranty, how much more for a water pump?

    Do EVERYTHING while they're in there. The oil pump is about the only thing I'd leave personally but whatever, can't hurt. Are you aware they now make a hi flow pump now too?

    PTU gear oil chane

    I will never understand why anyone would take off a wheel to access the PTU fill plug. Being a ma$ochist possibly?

    Which PTU do I need?

    My guess is that non-turbo only just means it doesn't have any cooling lines to it.

    PTU gear oil chane

    There's a good chance they'll get it on the hoist, find it has no drain plug and then tell him: "sorry, it's sealed for life".

    Tires for 2016 SHO

    I don't think you're going to have room up front. I run one size over stock on stock wheels (255/45-20) and these tire would be almost 1 1/2 inches taller than mine. I think anything over 1/2" - 3/4" taller than mine is going to rub up front from looking at mine when the wheels are turned...

    Tires for 2016 SHO

    I concur. I don't recommend much but I do recommend these tires to anyone that will listen.

    Water pump and timing chain

    Nice work!

    Water pump and timing chain

    They replaced half the parts on the car but not the 2x cam phasers? And what's an "e-tube asy" @ almost $100? I guess they don't call it the stealership for nothing! Is the retro looking circa 1975'ish billing statement supposed to make you feel better after the molestation? FWIW, I request...

    Gearhead Tune just broke my lumbar support!!!

    Mine only has 3 switches, not 4, so I guess it does not.
