so a month ago i had my starter changed and the distibutor cap. couldnt figure out why it wouldnt start but i came upon a new problem. every morning when i first start it it makes like a kicking back noise like someones banging around under my hood with a wrench. i thought it was only when it rains but its starting to happen all the time. any idears?

and anyone have any suggestions on leaking back sliding windows? and ideas on what works

thanks brad

 

Change the back window out with a newer one or go with a solid one. They are notorious for leaking.

What year, model and trim do you have in your truck?? Perticularly what motor do you have?

 

If it only does it in the morning than I would have someone start it while you look under the hood one morning to see if something is loose or rubbing. Hard to tell without a little more information. Let us know what you find.

 

HArmonic balancer maybe?

 

If I had to guess, I would say it is something around the belt system. Whether it is the belt or not, or an ideler or not or even like your fan hitting something I don't know because I cannot see or hear the noise. Without knowing what vehicle you drive and the sound it makes, it is vertually like guessing where to stick it when you are in a pool blindfolded with 100 duds and only one girl, you just have to take a stab at it and keep guessing!

But that would be my guess.

Sorry, got a little carried away up there. Sorry if I offended anyone. Just in one of them moods.

 

gpet6669 - get out of the pool man, get out of the pool!!!! Your right though hard to tell without a little more info.

 

If thats the case, the girl probably has the same anatomy as the dudes anyway, or she wouldn't be dumb enough to be in there in the firstplace

in regards to leaky window I used that peel and stick weatherstripping from the hardware store and trimmed it to fit seam between windows and it works so far hope this helps.

 

I was never in the pool, (This guy is smart!) the problem was in the pool. Speaking of the problem.

Does the klanking continue when it warmes up or is it constant, how long does it last?

P.S. Do you have a lot of cats in the area, because you could be helping to get rid of them! J/K

Good tip for the window though! I was going to tell him to either swap it out with a new one or just replace the weather stripping in it, they must sell kits to re-do the weather stripping in those things. Right??
