The other day I popped my hood and was just staring at my engine trying to lean as much as I can about what things are and how they work. (I know little to nothing about auto mechanics) I would follow a hose to see where is went, or a wire etc... I firgured out a few things.
But I noticed something that got my attention. I think it is th e intake manifold. It's the large piece of grey/silver metal that has the red EFI on it. I noticed that all the gaskets appeared to be new. And a copper colored fitting on the driver's side that is shape like a diamond with two bolts that have 6 stamped on them also appeared to be new. I kept looking around and the throttle cable and housing also look to be very clean. I have done a few good steam cleanings of the engine lately, but these parts look too clean to be 200,000 miles old.
The PO made no mention of having anything rebuilt. But I think he only had the truck for about 7000 miles. Any ideas as if anything has been done based on the info I porovided?
