Just saved an 2000 Dinan M5. Only 92k miles, but it has been neglected all it's life. I've found most of my answers on this forum, thank goodness! It has been a godsend. It needs a lot of work. However, there are a few questions I couldn't find answers to. Forgive me if I missed it. I have been a member of Powerstroke forums for years, and I understand the frustration of the same questions being asked over and over again.
1 - On cold startup, I've noticed 2 things: a slight rattle noise for a few seconds, and a pump whine for about 30 seconds before shutting off.
2 - Occasionally, when driving, there is a loud/apparent rattling, that appears to be coming from the passenger area, but I cannot tell for sure. It seems to rattle with the RPM's and with bumps in the roads.
3 - The factory fuel gauge only reads to 1/2 tank when completely full, and it will drop very quickly after filling up.
4 - Randomly, the car will die when cruising to a stop. It starts right back up, though.
5 - Does anyone know the part number for the passenger rear door plate? Or a good place to find a replacement?
6 - Is there anyway to determine what Dinan stage my car is? (Ex: S1, S2, S3)
As always, I appreciate any and all help/input!
