Default FOLLOW UP: I left them a voicemail after-hours ...

... to clue them in about pump cavitation. I have to say that I should have thought of that earlier; it's just that the noise is so mechanically metallic that I ruled it out, out of hand. But I suppose it could very well be.

Anyway, I told them to reverse flush the system on their machine, then pull the pan and inspect/replace the filter.

We'll see how that goes.

Thanks to all who've chimed in.

Default Thank you, Gabor. I would drive the 14 hours to Chicago if ...

... the noise wasn't so alarming. I'd die of a heart attack after 1 hour listening to it

Cut off 1/2" of the filter pickup pipe.

Default Funny you should mention that

I saw on the ZF "parts" page that the filters come in two flavors. Short neck and long.<ul><li><a href="http://www.erikssonindustries.com/ZF_items/5HP24A/5hp24a.htm">ZF "Common Use" parts list</a></li></ul>

Default Yours sounds worse - mine's only 'somewhat' audible and not all the time. And the...

...herkyjerky shuffle is def. only first thing on cold a.m.'s and only in Tip.

Think I'll think about a fluid change - I've been strongly opposed prior but now guess not.

Chenishead - dunno on that cold start whir, could be crusty air pump maybe? Pulling out of me **** on that one.

And say, WTF's your screen name mean anyway? It's been killing me since you sub'd long ago. I only come up with one possibility that I'm not typing to someone I've not met! 8-) How 'bout a name - I HATE SCREEN NAMES!!!

8-), again.

Too hard to converse w/ good folk sans a name, for me at least...

Default From your link: Note: Check that pan has not been pushed up to block pickup.

Excellent advice!

Default It's exactly what you're thinking

Sitting around with friends, watching the game, dealing with extreme frustration over my losing team, weird unheard of words come out. That one kinda stuck. I nearly peed myself laughing when my friend called someone a futtbucker. Go figure, we have a stupid sense of humor.

Default Second Follow-up: the pan was pulled and ...

it's littered with bronze and clutch material. Pretty ugly.

What's the current sane price for a ZF rebuilt unit, installed?
