well, first off im leaking oil, my oil pressure goes under the 40 mark and when i take off it shoots up to 95-100, the gears are slipping, my breaks are all messed up and lock up on me, i have 150k and its in need of a new timing chain. *sigh* what should i do, i cant afford the repairs being im in school and most likely the repairs would cost as much as getting another smaller car.... which would suck.

 

man, thats rough, are you sure you have enough tranny fluid in there? that can cause weird gear feeling, the timing chain is a bitch, and how did you mes up your brakes, whats happening with them? could be something simple also where in NY are you? im in hoboken atm if you need anything send me a pm and ill see what i can pull off

 

Damn


It might be time to put her down sorry to say.

 

im not in ny anymore dude, im down in nc atm for school. but yeah every time im on like a slight hill going down i slightly tap the breaks and they lock right up. my parents were like oh take it to a shop and see how much it would be to fix everything, so between transmission, oil leak and oil pressure being down so low, breaks and power steering im looking at a heafty bill, i might as well boar stroke and cam the ****er while im at it XP atm im looking at del slows

 

and the timing chain....

 

Looks like you might have met the maker on this one. To me it just depends on how much and how much. You have to make a decision.

 

honestly if it were me, the only things i wouldnt be able to do myself would be the timing chain (iv never done one, and on a DD is NOT the place to learn IMO, however, if down time isnt an issue i would attempt it) and the transmission,

the brakes i would have to see myself what they are doing i think to try and diagnose it, are the locking up WHENEVER you hit the brakes, or only when you really stomp on them?, if the latter id lean towards collapsing rubber brake lines, my abs seems to be alot more sensative since we changed those.

the oil pressure being low could be as simple as a clogged filter, or a clogged pick up screen on the oil pump, or as bad as the oil pump going out, try some seafoam in the oil for a few miles of driving (take it to town and back) then change the oil, see if that helps any.

if you have aim add me, my aim sn is the same as on here and you can bounce ideas off me

 

look for anew d i see them for less then 2 grand

 

That's an idea!


However I'm know you got LOT's of broken spare parts.....LMAO!
