Truck Starts Hard at Times

[dirtyoldman]

It's been a long hard battle but I'm very happy to see it's been worth it So how does it drive on the road?

Its acts like it gained little extra horsepower and doesnt take much to get it to go when pressing the gas pedal too. Like before had to really press it to get to go at high speeds on the interstate and when hauling heavy stuff. I'll have to try it out soon when hauling something heavy.

That's great I know wifey's Burb sure does run better & stronger.Putting the new plugs in helped a lot huh?

This is thing is back to missing again since November sometime. It only misses at idle or sitting still. I think I'm gonna do top end internal engine clean and check #8 spark plug to see if it broke another plug or not.

Engine light cam today. I think #8 cylinder is fouling spark plugs.

Fuel pump.

That's a great idea, Scott!

I know I know. The hard starting at times quit after replacing cats.

You going to drop the tank, or pull the bed off?

Someone else is doing it.

Ah, you shoulda done it, Dave. They aren't too bad, really.

Been too hot here to do it myself. Yesterday it was 102 degrees.
