    To Gut a cat or not to Gut a cat, that is the question

    I don't live in a ****** state so no inspection. My 01 no longer has a cat problem. To get around the cel light I installed two spark plug non foulers in the rear o2sensor ****. The Napa has those non foulers. One will have to be drilled out to clearance the end of sensor. I will admit though...

    Front differential lock

    The only thing about the posiloc is the placement of the cable. My foot bumps into it when switching from brake to gas and back n forth. I only wear a 11 1/2 shoe so that might **** you off. I used the template supplied with the kit so it should be in the right spot. If you get the hole off...

    Vacuum help please

    I'm not sure that one problem would have anything to do with the other. My 01 has a mechanical linkage for the transmission. As far as the vents and probably your cruise, you will need to look for a leak. If you can't find a leak then I built a vac reserve to help my worn out vent actuator and...

    Catalytic converter crapped the bed...

    You can also buy "spark plug non foulers", and put the two of them under the 02sensor. One of them will need to be drilled out to clearance the tail of the sensor. One wasn't enough to get the sensor away from the exhaust flow on my 01. I didn't want the sensor just hanging around somewhere.

    replacing stock manifold with edelbrock m1 2bbl

    T just so you know, there will be about a dozen websites with those manifolds on there. The M1 2 barrel and M1 4 barrel. Not a single one of them has those in stock. I called a few of em. I even contemplated learning aluminum welding and welding up an Entilbrock {spelling} with weld up bungs...

    Symptoms of "off" fuel sync

    May or maynot help. In my hanes manwell, it says to reset the tps after replacing it. I think you reset the computer then depress the throttle all the way. Mom was here and tossed my house while I was sickly so no idea where the hanes book went for now

    Most best Engine/longblock/rebuilder place.

    So friends, where is the recommended place to purchase a long block at? Several outfits online I'm looking at. A rebuilt would be fine. Still a few weeks before I can really work on the truck because, surgery healing. Just making plans while I heal up. A 5.2 to go in a 01. Sure I'd love to get...

    Long block or 5.2-5.9 swap?

    Ok so here I am dreaming and figuring. After diving in to redo my plenum, I discovered that my cam was shot. And I am pricing long block 5.2s on the intertubes. Cause heads+cam$$ and no experience, might be cheaper to put a longblock in then mess around with it. Then the thought hit me like a...

    HELP PLENUM GASKET FAIL

    Hard to say if I did or didn't Loctite them last go around. I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday not alone what I did when I did the repair. The factory keggar will be the replacement. The one I did the repair with had the vaccum ports in differing spots. eta: It might help if...

    HELP PLENUM GASKET FAIL

    I think I had the felpro gaskit. Looks just like the felpro kit I got at the NAPA. I followed a hanes for the torque sequence and values. My theory is that a bit of vibration and those washers that were sharp, bit into the aluminum plate and then the bolts worked enough loose to lose integrity...

    HELP PLENUM GASKET FAIL

    Ok so I got to thinking. {I know bad right?} Those washers included are the cheaper ones with sharp edges on one side. What if those bit into the aluminum of the hughs plate and the bolts loosened up later on?

    HELP PLENUM GASKET FAIL

    I actually have this same exact problem. Did the hughs kit. And she started burning oil again. Today I got the intake off and the gaskit is blown. {not the steel inner just the outside paper looking stuff} Not as much oil as the ops pic in the intake. I didn't use any sealant like hughs said...
