    No Brakes!!! Dangerous ride home.

    YES!!! To be fair I had brakes when I left. I was very close to home when this happened. I live in the middle of no where and was driving on a straight road for over 45 minutes. I didn't even notice the brakes were so bad until I was 5 miles from home. Scared the **** out of me.

    I took the rear drums off and you guys were right. The cylinders on both sides were leaking. Not enough to be visible from the outside but it was a nasty mess inside. Just replaced both, and my brakes have never felt better. I'm relieved it was a cheap and easy fix. Thank you guys for all...

    No Brakes!!! Dangerous ride home.

    Hey guys, I feel like it's never a good thing when I post on here. Last night I get into my truck to drive home, and my brake pedal feels spongey. So I pumped it a few times and it seemed fine. I checked the fluid and for leaks. Didn't see any problems. This trip was about an hour and a half...

    Starting issue after sitting over 15 minutes, P1351 code

    I'm having the same exact issue. I've replaced most of what you mentioned. My ICMs are lasting 3 to 4 days.

    Unhooked parts in my engine bay.

    Yep, everything looks good. The only problem I had was the EGR. I'm saving my pennies for the spider injection now. But when I do that job, I'm going to take the whole manifold off and do the gaskets.

    I did that yesterday. I was looking for vacuum leaks. Found that my EGR had a leak around the gasket. I just replaced it, so I guess I didn't tighten it enough. I've replaced so many parts and sensors trying to smooth this idle. I've come to the conclusion it has to be the spider injection...

    Definitely. That's the plan. I don't have emissions in my county. So it's not crucial, but I hate looking at it. Also I'm chasing a rough idle, so I'm trying to fix everything I can.

    Thank you so much!!!! I would have broken it easily. I need to get some vacuum line the right size to make the repair. The solenoid doesn't seem to be leaking. But I will replace it soon.

    Thank you guys. That helped so much. Any idea how to get those factory clips off? I tried with no luck. Also why is there what looks like a Schrader valve with the green cap on this line?

    Is there a part number for the line that connects the two? Would this be causing issues being unhooked?

    I was thinking the same thing. They might be connected.

    Unhooked parts in my engine bay.

    Now that I looked at the pictures, the first part on the intake manifold is cracked. I imagine that would be causing a vacuum leak.

    Hey guys, I have a question about 2 parts in the engine bay that are cut or blocked off. There is some kind of sensor under the air intake that you can see with the red vacuum plug. The other is right behind the driver headlight with a cut hose. Could you guys let me know what these parts are...
