2012 5.0

[Big A]

Car is a 2012 with a 8/15/11 build date.

Perhaps the motor was built the Friday afternoon before... lol

[Fern]

Now that's a feel-good story!

Stoked for ya homie.

[SNEAKY]

Its because of the brembo brakes

[Chas_svo]

Sorry to hear, but glad you got it fixed.

[Rreemo]

Glad to hear it got all fixed up! I've got a question for you since you've also got 3.73's....since day-1 I've noticed a very very slight bit of NVH right between 70-75mph...it's very faint, but definitely feels like it's coming from the driveline...I think it's the gears, and it's so faint that it may even be normal, just the right pitch at that driveshaft speed...at first I thought it might have even been the engine note around that speed, but have experimented with it some since then....pushing in the clutch or pushing into neutral doesn't kill it, nor does being in 5th instead of 6th. I don't always notice it and never feel it below 70 or above 75mph.

Just wondering if you've ever noticed anything similar? I need to ride in another car with 3.73's and see if it's just my overly sensitive ass.

420

I have 3:73s as well, and don't notice any, but will chech again today.

Depends on the weight that 420hp has to propel.

You're probably just overly sensitive. The old 8.8 transmits a lot of NVH regardless of ratio, but of course lower gears will do it more. If I roll the windows up and turn the radio off, I can hear gear whine in the car, some from the trans and some from the rear. It's very subtle though and I don't mind.

[Tyrone Biggums]

Danny, you're destined to always have interesting car stories.

[Chas_svo]

Rreemo, I turned down the radio, and tried very hard to detect anything like that today on my way in to work. No vibrations, but definitely road noise and some gear noise, but very minimal.

Since you have a '13, you get the recall done for the front lower control arms yet? We had 250mi on it when it was making a creaking noise/feel thru the k-member, theres a TSB out on them currently. We only felt it starting off in first or cruising down a road a little bumpier. If you put it up on ramps and push up on the k-member you can hear/feel it.

[Rick Modena]

Me too. I expect 150k miles out of it for sure.

I was thinking more around 200k-300k, but we shall see. Im not doing anytihng to mine until after the warranty. I even took the K&N out and it seemd to have picked up some more HP or at least the 5hp that claim the K&N loses.

gotta love the lsx!
