Are train station parking lots any good? State Parks? Sunday is supposed to be beautiful out. Let me know...- OB1214

Shaky Idle
After hooking up a Snap-on scanner that I borrowed, I was able to read the cam retard. The retard was -2* which is within spec of -2* to 2*. Yes ideally it should be zero, but dropping a distributor in without a scan tool and minimal tools up at school, I would say that's pretty good. After...- OB1214

I just got home from school a couple of days and it was pouring rain. Hopefully tomorrow I can get out there. I was doing some reading the other...- OB1214

After regapping the sparkplugs to 47 thousands the truck had better fuel econ. If you look at my long-term fuel trims they went significantly farther down at certain engine speeds. The motor just sounded better when cruising, not as loud in the cab. However, after driving 175 miles, the motor...- OB1214

The truck needed all those parts as all the electronic sensors were not reading when I hooked top my scan tool and read the live data. Those spark plugs I put in when I first got the truck. I know for a fact the truck was well maintained previously, however it was sitting for 5 years prior to my...- OB1214

26,000 miles on an oil change. Now thats how you kill your motor. I run 10W30 conventional. Besides my shake in the idle the motor looks, and is within all top end specs, just like a new motor that rolled off the showroom floor. I'm making compression, EVERYTHING in the cylinder is sealed; if a...- OB1214

I never have to top off oil, between changes. Every 3,000 miles give or take 100-300 miles over. Doesn't seem that I am burning oil either or leaking it. If i was burning oil wouldn't I not have compression? Bought my those old plugs from my dealer at parts authority and they are ngk. Let me...- OB1214
