    Idles at 5000rpm

    Gave it another look. Stuck my hand behind the manifold and the entire gasket has been blown out from between the upper and lower intake manifold. Easy fix, just took a week to find the problem. Thanks for all the help guys.

    Idles at 5000rpm

    It's a big hole with a lot of air so it should be obvious. I don't see anything cracked or broken. Never thought of the Owings where the spider assembly sits. That will be my next check, thanks.

    Idles at 5000rpm

    I checked for vac leaks, one small leak at the pcv, not enough to support 5000rpm. I even stuffed a shop towel into the throttle body to block it off and there was no change.

    Idles at 5000rpm

    Ok. Before I junk it, I'll ask here. 5.7/4l60. Truck shut off and wouldn't start. Fuel pressure 62 psi, had codes for crank and cam sensor, and no spark. Replaced cap, rotor and coil, IAC valve, cam sensor and now starts right up and revs to 5000rpm then dies. If I disconnect mass airflow sensor...

    My truck is a killer

    Brand doesn't matter. I have to remove the driveshaft to grease the ujoint and just don't do it as often as I should. Non greasable won't last a few thousand miles before the bearings turn to dust. The straps and bolts that hold the u joint on the 14 bolt rear are horribly undersized so they...

    Could use some help!

    Same year and motor, same problem, except #6 cylinder misfire. Had zero compression on that cylinder, tore it down to find a bent valve.

    Can't find the source of this coolant leak

    2 weep holes on the water pump, always seems to be the top hole that is leaking when I cant find where the coolant is coming from. Double up on the clamps if the hoses wont stop leaking, place them 180 degrees from each other, if that doesn't stop the leak then just replace the hose. Water pump...

    Clearcoat said goodbye

    Now it holds water when it rains, pretty cool. Not really. Maybe some day I will aim a paint gun at it. Until then I'm just gonna keep watching it peel and flake off.

    Battery was dying, loose connections, now nothing

    When cables were loose you probably got corrosion in them. Take them off and clean them and the battery posts. Doesn't take much of a connection to power the lights but they need to be clean and tight to power the starter.

    3rd brake light randomly comes on

    I feel your pain. Only the right side bed lights work and the 3rd brake lights only worked one time when I was following my daughter while she drove.

    The Stupid Electronics Questions Thread

    Here's my stupid question. Found this replacing my broken door handle. Door only has one speaker, maybe 1" in diameter in front of the window/lock switches. I had something rattling in the door a few months ago and pulled out a plastic cover that said "clarion" on it, no clue what I did with...

    Clearcoat said goodbye

    Ok, an update after 7-8mo of blistering S.Ga sun. After the clear disappeared I started noticing more and more paint on my microfiber cloths when I wax (expected with no clear). But now my bed and front fenders are more orange than red, the cab,doors and inside the bed are all red still. Hard...
