Bang
I might have posed this before. If I did my appologies.
A month ago or so I hit the throttle while rolling at about 30 maybe. It hit first and boiled the tires, second and boiled again, third and smoke was roiling from the tires.
A few days later I did it again. When it hit third, I believe, it went bang and engine rpm dropped.
I rolled along letting it cool and stopped. restarted engine and listened and idled with no indication of any problems. Drove a few miles letting it shift at easy speeds no problems. Decelerated from different speeds letting it shift down by itself no indications of problems.
went through the gears manually, shifting at different rpms but not wide open.
Near as I could tell no problems. Dealer could find no problems.
From fifty years of hot rods and fast cars and drag racing, I know bank is not a good sound.
Only thing found was a small leak at right rear of engine. Tech put some sealer on it. I've got to take it back in to see if any leaking.
When it broke loose like it did it was more than usual. Must have been some dampness, though You couldn't see it in the pavement.
Sometimes I will let it out. I have a stretch, of empty pavement near the house over a quarter mile. I don't drive like a maniac. So don't get that idea. Never get it over a..hem...55 in spirit.
Anyone else experienced similar? Suspension? what...?
