Well I have worked on my car reciently and had a giant leak in my sump apparantly all that offroading with 10 people in my car severely damaged my sump plate so bad it was all warped and the lip[ around it had flatened out over the nuts, I had to chisel the lip off to get to the nuts that was a lot of work. the leak was fixed with a new sump cover , yesterday a real ugly sound started to come out of my axils , I found the constant velocity joints all shot up all pitted with drying blackened greasE that used to be white lithium , I wonder if the grease I was using IS WRONG or my hard driving just took it's toll . Oh well I will see if my new ones last more than two years than the last ones . Just letting you know the lastest torture test on my car .I have noticed that the #3 cylinder will over heat with really hard driving up hills , could be due to knocking I wonder how the knocking can be cured , colder plugs , than the ones I have ?
