    Prothane Engine mount busted?

    So I heard back from the manufacturer. They responded well under 24 hours to my warranty request email and immediately offered to replace the two inserts that were broken in the same color. They also offered to replace all four insert sets across all of the mounts at no additional charge and I...

    Prothane Engine mount busted?

    As an update... all warranty information, paperwork, receipts, pictures have been submitted. It is in the hands of the manufacturers at this point. I am confident that this will have a positive resolution but until then, I will just keep everyone up to date on this no questions asked, lifetime...

    Prothane Engine mount busted?

    If I recall correctly, there is a metal sleeve that the bolt goes in. There is no direct contact between the mounts and the bolt.As far as the manufacturer goes, I got a reply and they are asking for pictures of each mount and the warranty form. I need to get the pictures tonight so I can...

    Prothane Engine mount busted?

    Just to clarify.. These are polyurethane. Without thinking, when I originally made this thread, labeled the inserts incorrectly. My apologies.And for the purpose of the thread I am just keeping the discussion more aimed at the issue and not at any manufacturer. I am working at a resolution...

    Prothane Engine mount busted?

    No they are good mounts from a reputable place. They aren't cheap mounts either. I just happened to snag them on a group buy for Black Friday in the past.But I'm just concerned because I think 2 of the 4 mounts that I have are having cracking/crumbling issues with the polyurethane. I haven't...

    Prothane Engine mount busted?

    So as to an update....I have been busy and have not had the time to follow up on this issue until now. I reached out to the manufacturer of the mounts and they are requesting that I fill out the warranty claim and send pictures of the problems. I plan on sending the pictures and form out...

    He has ECMLink V3 Lite... Which is much better than a SAFC (IMO).... Just saying. It is the last sentence of the OP's Post.However, you both have valid points. E-85 is not supposed to be used in the stock fuel system of the DSM. But if you replaced certian fuel components, you will be able to...

    Getting pissed --- Front Turn Signals

    If you have the option.. just try to swap the relay/fuse from another working car and see if that remedies the problem.

    Correct... there is a mod I believe you can do to get them to blink. Stock they do not.

    If he turns on the Hazards and they are working in the back, then my assumption would be that it is already plugged in... But it never hurts to make sure the connector isn't loose :thumb:

    Wastegate actuator rod

    I guess you could. I have no experience with this as I just drive my car easy to keep out of the boost. I personally wouldn't do this long term as again I have no idea how this would effect the car or if it would improve gas economy. Someone else would have to chome in as to why or why not this...

    Wastegate actuator rod

    You could try to drill it out... Or if you have a small enough punch, you could try to get it out that way. I would drill as a last resort but that is my opinion.
  16. AlaskanDsm

    Wastegate actuator rod

    First, welcome to DSMTuners.Second, the actuator arm, The one with the hole at the end, goes over the flapper rod, connector, etc? (Put the piece sticking out through the hole :D). Then behind the actuator arm on the flapper, you would put a pin there to keep the actuator arm from falling off.

    Back from tire shop with bad news

    Just to point this out... In Fairbanks (further north than Wasilla), we do not use road salt at all. They just lay down crushed gravel on the roads for traction. I would imagine from my time in Anchorage that the result is the same in Wasilla. The only difference would be getting closer to the...

    FYI for those have a 1G, If you do not have the 2G MAF and intake pipe, this cannot be done appropriately as it will melt... I know. :ohdamn:

    Fuel cut, boost leek, need help.

    Is your BOV currently recirculated after the installation of the Blitz Bov?If it is not, You must have it recirculated unless you have your MAS AFTER the BOV.By meaning of recirculated, the outlet of the BOV had a hose that connected it back to the intake. This hose must be on the BOV.

    Anyone try the ebay fuel pump rewire kit?

    As far as I understand it, there should be no "prime" in the stock wired system. The fuel pump I believe only comes active when the car is set to the "Start" position. So even with a rewire, the electronic control shouldn't initiate the fuel pump until you actually try to start the car.

    1g Talon Help

    If you are running the 450cc injectors at 24PSI, I would advise you NOT to continue to drive the car the stock 450cc injectors just cannot flow enough fuel to keep up with that level of boost. With an upgraded turbo, the highest you should see is maybe 14 before you should hit fuel cut (If you...

    Newbie chic with tranny issues?

    My first thought if it is a stick shift and not an auto would be that you may have a worn out clutch.well since, I am at work and took forever to respond, looks like I was seriously beaten to my response haha.

    It could also be that you might have a leak in the system causing you to have less than the necessary pressure to engage the system.

    Okay, very first,Listen to what Kieya has said. Listening to the video, you have a HORRIBLE exhaust leak somewhere. Fix that first. Also, part of the smoking that you see could be due to the fact that it appears that you have some fluids and stuff on the manifold. Being that you just...
