I went out the other night to check out the sparkplug situation and the CEL light came on within a few seconds of cranking the truck. Took it to a local shop and had them pull the code and it was indeed reporting misfires. Pulling the spark plugs showed that they were very corroded and caked...
Nice, I am an ONSC member so I will call them up for parts. I'll open the hood once it gets dark and see if I see any light leakage...I sure hope it's just plugs and wires.
I will let you know what I discover over the weekend and likely take you up on your offer to meet next week to look at...
Thanks guys. Do you think it's safe to drive? There is a LOT of hesitation and shaking when I give it any gas. This is somewhat similar to what happened in '04 when the head gasket blew on a trail, but now the truck sees no offroad miles and almost no highway miles, so I don't think that's the...
Gents,
I've got a problem with my truck that just crept on me when the wife was driving my truck (figures). The CEL came on and she said the truck was hesitating to accelerate and would rumble unevenly at idle. She got it home and it was worse than I thought. It's barely driveable at all...
Hell yeah - finally an ONSC event where I don't already have something planned on the day of! I'll be there!
Edit: Wow, did it just censor H E double hockeysticks?
This may be in the wrong direction - but I drink light beer most of the time because I drink too much on a day-to-day basis for full calorie beers.
Is there a better tasting light beer than Yuengling Light? For 99 calories each I think it tastes pretty great and its available in most grocery...
Autozone will do a free test on the electrical system - could be worth a try just to scratch the easy ones off the list.
My truck was doing something similar, and it turned out that the one of the terminal clamps was rattling off occasionally. 3 bucks in parts from Western Marine and I was in...
It's not a constant noise, and actually seems to happen only when coasting. I don't seem to recall hearing it when coasting at low speed, but can reproduce it 100% of the time at highway speed by letting off the gas.
No luck yet...hard to describe how it sounds. Dull mechanical roar coming from the front PS wheel area. It's not the click-click-click of a Birfield...but I've also never done a rebuild and I'm creeping up on 150k so I know I'm due.
We'll link up here soon, I want to snap some pics of your 40...
Worth all of 4.5k and then some. I guess it really comes down to what bag said about performing the maintenance yourself vs at a dealer. Most of those things are relatively easy fixes and not particularly labor intensive even for a solo job.
I'd say 6-7k would be the upper limit given that it's...
