#11599, "My new GST croaked!!! Help me diagnose please!"
My 1 month old (in my possesion) GST croaked. I was driving it and I noticed a tapping/knocking sound. It was coming from the longblock somewhere. I took the valve cover off and all the lifters looked in place and in working order. So I decided to just drive it home with the tapping. Well it got worse and then it started effecting the performance. It wouldn't go over 50mph. The tapping got really loud and more frequent. Then it choked and died. It would start back up, but it sounded like a diesel tractor. There is plenty of oil in it but it has no radiator fluid and it hasn't been holding it that great lately. It started getting hot after I killed the engine. What could be wrong???
To top off this nightmare, I had to leave it on the side of the road, and overnight somebody smashed in the passenger window and stole my boost guage, my intake along with my MAS, my msd igntion, and my cd player along with my cd's.
