Hello everyone,
I recently had a mechanical issue with my 2011 GT500. What sounded initially like exhaust rubbing the frame within minutes became louder and louder while I shut down the car. I have not had a chance to deep dive it yet as I have been working all week. It sounds like a bearing or rod has potentially failed (loud clanks when I restarted it after being towed ran it for maybe 5 seconds.) I thought possibly head gasket but there was no white smoke and I did not see any oil in the coolant system.
I am going to pull the plugs (and check them) and crank it over by hand to see if I can narrow down the area of the issue this weekend. Will also do a compression check on each cylinder.
Once I narrow it down I would like to get it brought to a shop as with two kids this may be too large of a project for me to take on in my spare time without a lift. Can anyone recommend a shop in SE Wisconsin that can work on these models?
Any help would be appreciated.
PS has very common bolt on mods:
Long tube headers to X-pipe to Borla
JLT intake
2.6" pulley
Bama tunes that was data logged and safe tune only about 1.5k miles ago
Thank you.
Tory
