    Yeah, I don't think the booster is bad (aside from being ya know... junk from the factory, but if it is actually bad, I'm going to upgrade it to the hydroboost system), since the brakes work well enough to bust all the lines, I am now replacing. But of course the rear bleeders are completely...

    Yeah, it's not just rough though, it's very solid miss fire on a pair of cylinders, iirc, it was cyl 4 and 6, even after doing plugs, wires, cap, and rotor (those all did not have many miles on them, and looked fine, but replaced anyways, just in case). Which, is probably then the injector...

    Yup, had already ordered that one. Ordered the booster vacuum check valve as well, since it's the one that came in the truck, and it won't hurt to replace it. Since I'm probably gonna replace the whole vacuum line anyways, since I'm willing to bet it's not gonna wanna come off the fittings...

    Thanks, for some reason I just could not find that one at all, and was only ever finding the one that goes in the booster itself. That'll help a bunch.

    That's the part that goes in the brake booster, not the part that goes in the upper intake manifold.

    So, I've been trying to find this fitting for a while now, it is the fitting that goes from the upper intake manifold to the line that goes to brake booster. I cannot find, for the life of me, the name of this fitting online. Obviously I'm just not searching the right words or something, but it...

    Well, the strike has made AC Delco parts hard to get. But also, a few hundred bucks is literally the difference between me getting the spider in January, and me maybe not being able to get it at all, on the current financial situation lol. Thankfully, this truck isn't a sole vehicle, and if...

    Yet *another* update. After getting the tank back in, everything hooked up, ect ect. Fire up the truck, few miss fires, replaced the plugs, cleared up 2 of the random misfire cylinders, still had 2 more going on, replaced cap and rotor (which was put in in 2018, but was fairly worn out already...

    So, had some time and energy, was digging around trying to figure out the issues, and discovered the fuel pump dies, when the underhood fuse and relay box gets jostled. Which seems... I need to check the wiring from the oil pressure switch to see if that's actually sending power to the fuel pump...

    Yeah, already went through and did that, gonna do the relays as well, when I get a chance to setup a jig to do it in. Thankfully, I got a year long sub for alldata for the truck, for cheap a month ago, so atleast I got that going for me, lol.

    So, further updates. I undid the VMC transmission ground TSB "fix" and it made the trans codes go away (nice), but the truck won't stay running, it will start after sitting over night but stalls after a minute or 2. Fuel pressure is *LOW* but it hold, so I don't think it's the regulator. Picked...

    I wouldn't say better, but... I do what I can, when I can. Which usually amounts to about 2-3hr of work on the truck a week or so. This the mess this truck seems to be, is extremely frustrating, and it's always one thing after another. Since everytime I touch it now I find something new I need...

    She, not he, lol, but also been dealing with long COVID for the last year, which has drastically limited my amount of work I can do. Actually came back to post an update today. Got a replacement transmission and repaired transfer case popped in a few months back, had to replace the trans cooler...

    Not a build thread, but an engine gore thread

    It depends, I may repair it, I may not, it's going to come down to what money I can get together, and if I can get another vehicle running, which I should be able to. If so, I will likely slowly work on the Santa Fe over time a bit, since the vehicle was useful, especially for trips to Costco...
