Replaced my head with a new to me from a member in Socal. This is my old head, no obvious cracks or pitting. In good shape. My truck has 300K miles. My truck passed a block tester but I sent my oil off to blackstone and they diagnosed a minor head gasket leak. That led to the replacement. In...

Completed this job in the past week. In my garage, no lift. Two jacks are handy. Pulling seats is a must and some various plastic parts to pull carpet back. I would buy all new hardware. I have a PNW truck and my hardware was in bad shape, I had to cut both #2 bolts to remove. Little hands and...

Agree with @BILT4ME - previous owner of my LC put in a direct start button because of a failing alarm. I removed the alarm and it no longer needs the direct start. Alarm first if you suspect that and then start on the basics.

The thing closest to you that is black is the fuel filter, annoying to replace but easy enough to throw and wrench on and see if tight. It has banjo bolts/copper washers that are one time use so if you replace make sure you get new. The orange/pink tipped thing above and below your intake...

Ah good to know, thank you for the reply. I’ve been wanting to check my cat as it is original and the truck has 310K. I’ll see about gauging up, good call.

Same! Treasure the time you have.

Good to know… I have yet to find a situation where my dad is wrong 🙄 Thanks!

Good morning all - Crawling around under my ‘94 tracing out fuel circuit and noticed the attached pinch on my exhaust. This is post cat, in the last run of exhaust before exit, right where it runs between frame and body. I showed this to my dad and he didn’t think it was a huge deal… to me it...

Agreed! Thanks for the positivity!

Yeah I’ve changed those and they ohm out just fine as well. I’ve been through the wiring for them and it was intact with no shorts. Relocated to the PAIR ports too. It’s been a real struggle, I haven’t turned a wrench in a few months because of schedule and I get so frustrated with no progress...

Nice. I have a terribly running ‘94 with the occasional code 26 and 25. I’m always looking for other peoples experience haha

What did the shop say about your CEL?

Thanks man.

Lame man. I’m sorry, I know this sounds totally made up but I’m in The ER waiting to see my mom. So yeah not available this weekend. I’m sorry. Depending on what happens Next week might be workable. Just a lot in the air right now. Sorry.

Barring one of our techs needing it, I should be able to check out the wrench after work tomorrow. I have some family in town this weekend and am busy Sunday AM. Let me know when you are ready to crank that thing down this weekend and I’ll try to make it over. Alternately we could work Monday...
