Ranting about this truck...

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Redneck_ranger, Nov 21, 2011.

  1. So yeah... You read it right. I'm going on a rant over this truck... It's so damn temperamental! I swear, the only thing I did to it today was clean the throttle out, and clean the intake... But when I went to start it back up, instead of it running better, IT FREAKIN RUNS WORSE!!!! The damn thing has a miss the size of the grand canyon now... Idk if that's because of the stuff I sprayed to clean the intake, but now it runs horribly... It only does it while it idles though... Not while driving. Granted, it did stall a few times, but that's because the RPM's dropped off majorly at a miss. Oh well... Sounds like the plugs and wires, and a few friends think so too. Let's see how this one turns out... Been meaning to get around to changing them anyways, but money and procrastination got the best of me. Oh, and not forgetting my parents bitching about it. Anyways, that's what I'm going to be up against this week. Let's hope it goes smoothly. Anyone know what size socket I will need to get them mothers out? Lmao. And what are the best out there for this picky little thing?

    Nah bro. Invested way too much into the truck to sell it. Know what I mean? All of it was mechanical fixes, not really body fixes yet. So I ain't gonna get the money I dropped into it back out of it, strictly due to the looks.

    I say you have a spark plug wire off or forgot to plug the MAF or something relative to that back in.

    The MAF is back together right... The check engine light didn't come on. I am gonna go with the wires and IAS and see what that does for me.

    Mine doesn't always throw codes when the light is on. I check it with the obd2 reader and jam its throwing codes with no check engine lights. Maybe u should see if there IS codes. One time my check engine light actually was burned out
