    Leaky fuel injectors?

    I am pretty sure that it is in the engine, not the cooling system. I hear the noise coming out of the exhaust. It sounds like it is trying to burn off fuel in the cylinders when I let off the accelerator. Maybe gurgle was not the most accurate description, more like a rumble. Ok, opening up a...

    Leaky fuel injectors?

    When I let off the accelerator, my engine makes a "girgling" noise and the RPM's fluctuate for a few seconds. Then it settles down to normal. I have 278,000 miles on the truck. I have put 100,000 on it myself. I don't know how many miles are on the injectors themselves. Could it be leaking fuel...

    Shutting off without any notice

    UPDATE I received my new d-tech PMD from Heath over a month ago. NO MORE STALLING!!! BUT now when I let off the accelerator, the engine has an extra "rev" that it never had before. It sounds like I shifted it to neutral and feathered the go pedal. Has anyone ever experienced this with their...

    Hard/no start when parked on a decline

    If you were facing nose up, I would say it was the lift pump, but since you are nose down, I am not sure. Todd

    Shutting off without any notice

    On Sat., I was driving to my son's football game and my truck just cut off for seemingly no reason. I was able to shift to neutral and get her restarted. It did this to me 3 more times before I got to the game. We sat at the game for almost 2 hours (we lost by 1 stinking point!!). Started her...

    AC = Major Mistake

    Did this on a 96 a few years back. I was helping an experienced mechanic and it took over 8 hours. Yes, go ahead and replace both the heater core and the evap. core while you have it exposed. Have fun!! Todd

    Help, my truck wets itself!

    Definitely not antifreeze. It does do it year round (not just when it rains). I would understand the condensation drain if it did not do it in the rear also. Still confused. Todd

    Help, my truck wets itself!

    Under the passenger side floor mat and the rear floor mat get very wet and starts to smell bad. Where is this moisture coming from and how can I get rid of it? Has anyone else experienced this? Todd
