    How I fixed the cracks in my dash.

    Update on this project. It has been over a year and through one of the hottest summers we have had in a while in Louisiana, everything has held up great.

    Truck idles rough at start up only.

    Sounds like a vacuum leak. My truck started to idle like this a couple of years back, super high idle until I ran it bit. Turned out the grommet around the PCV has stiffened and was letting more air into the TB until the truck warmed up a good bit and then the rubber would expand enough to seal...

    95 K2500 stumbles/sometimes dies under load

    Well got the issue fixed. The timing was off. It was a bit retarded. Reset it back to zero with the computer wire disconnected after letting it come up to temp. Immediately idled better (which was impressive as it was already idling pretty good). After that, hooked up the pcm wire again after I...

    95 K2500 stumbles/sometimes dies under load

    Didn't try a another EGR yet. The old one was pretty clogged and was the factory original, so I tossed it after I changed it. CTS on top of the manifold may be original, I don't know. I have not had any issues with temps so I have not had to change it yet. Cheap enough to replace so I can pick...

    95 K2500 stumbles/sometimes dies under load

    Update time: Took a look at the distributor as I had the cap off yesterday swapping out the ICM and the rotor. The magnet does not appear to be cracked and looks good. Rotor had some mild corrosion on it so I swapped it out along with the ICM. I also replaced the cap with a new one I had sitting...

    I'll take a look at that tomorrow. Thanks!

    95 K2500 stumbles/sometimes dies under load

    Yep, comes up to temp with no issue. So I definitely have it down to ignition related. Changed the coil this afternoon with a new one. The stumble is still there but not as noticeable as it has been. You really have to floor it now from a standstill to make it die. Before, just putting your foot...

    95 K2500 stumbles/sometimes dies under load

    Well, I eliminated a possible bad fuel pump this morning. I had a new one that I had purchased a few weeks ago for a tune up project and decide to swap it out this morning. Well pressures are about the same (13.5psi at the regulator) Old pumps screen looked pretty clear and I replaced the fuel...

    95 K2500 stumbles/sometimes dies under load

    Changed the O2 sensor last night thinking it could have been the culprit. Fuel filter was changed 3 weeks ago as well. When it dies, I can smell gas, like it is super rich.

    95 K2500 stumbles/sometimes dies under load

    Everything was with Delco/Delphi Parts. And the bypass wire was disconnected when the timing was set last year. I don't have a scanner that can show me live data/do data logging. All I have is a scanner that flashes the lights for the OBD1 diagnostic codes. I no longer have the code 32 and it...

    95 K2500 stumbles/sometimes dies under load

    My 95 K2500 has just recently started stumbling under the load and exhibiting a hard start at times. I noticed the issue popped up after I replaced the EGR valve with a new Delphi unit. I had started to get a CEL after about halfway to and from work every day. I put my code reader on it and saw...

    Throttle Body rebuild

    Yes, if it is has never been rebuilt, odds are the gasket for the fuel pressure regulator is probably starting to break down/collapse and let excess fuel get by it. The rebuild kits are fairly cheap and it is an easy job to do. You could also get the injectors cleaned while you have the TBI...

    Decided to join the "Charlotte pipe CAI" crew..

    Brandon: Self, you need to get a CAI for the truck.. Me: But we already have a CAI at home. The CAI at home: Will probably get some Raptor Liner for the pipe to give it a textured look and to match the black under the hood. Will probably do that when I paint the air cleaner. Just got...

    Taillights are out

    As mentioned above, check your grounds and then check your relay afterwards. I had a broken ground at the back of my truck that caused my relay to partially fail. Once I fixed my ground issue, I still had some lighting issues, did some basic troubleshooting and noticed when I tapped the relay...

    Summit Headers SUM-G9014 Gasket Question

    Thanks. One more question, since these headers have the ball shaped end where it mates up to the y-pipe, do I need to use a donut gasket still when I make the connection?
