Help from a Denver VXer?

[twalker920]

I need some help diagnosing a clunking noise on the left side...I think maybe something in the suspension. If any of the Denver area folks are available some weekend, I'd supply the tools and beer.

Not too excited about finding out what it is halfway to Moab...

I can come into town on Sunday mornings (most) to help you do some checking into the problem. pm me. we might even be able to get a little meet going.

Meet & Wrench anyone?

Let me know when and I'll try to be there!

I might be up for stopping by if this is on Saturday.

Count me in...if the time works I'll be there...

It's getting close to do my timing belt!

Me too.... Timing belt and water pump before Moab.

Oh, I should do my timing belt too, now that I confirmed from the previous owner that he didn't do it.

I have a decent size, but not huge garage (oversized 2-car) and a 3-wide driveway. I'm at the C470 and Quincy exit on the SW side of Denver.

I am open this weekend or next. Weather is supposed to be in the low 50s this weekend it looks like. If someone has a better location I am game too.

I have plenty of basic tools, but no special tools to speak of. Where do you guys get your timing belt kits from? I had an ebay page bookmarked:

I saw previously on the forums that this kit was decent. Thoughts? Maybe we could get a bigger discount if we buy several?

Let's make some plans! Also, thanks for the great response

If we meet at my house, we could go have margs/beer at the Morrison Inn afterwards (or before/during).

I miss living in Colorado.

Y'all realize that you'll be lucky to get ONE timing belt done in a day. Getting 2 done will be a herculean effort.

Well gee I was picturing a production line type setting where we all step through it at the same time

Not so much?

I have no response to that.

KUDOS if you pull it off!!!

Well, again, I just want to know what's clunking on my truck, and hopefully fix it if we can figure it out. The engine is purring like a kitten, but I need to do the timing belt at some point. I'll help someone with their timing belt if I can get help for my issue

...on the other hand, you might as well try to pull together another Colorado VX meet. We sure seem to be having a lot of those of late.

Not that I'm complaining!

I am all for helping you with the clunk. I was also just stating the timing belt before moab. I do lots of projects on my rig during the witching hour, midnight madness wrenching.
Lets work at getting a mini coffee meet going, help you diag your clunk. Sunday Am works for me. We might be able to get a few others to pop in to.

Sounds good. This Sunday? There's a big Starbucks on Wadsworth just south of Bowles on the East side. Lots of parking. Used to be a Krispy Kreme before Carbs became the new Killer of the Moment.
