    My 1995 GMC 7.4L lost all of its power

    Good news that it's running good again.When replacing to vacuum hose to the MAP sensor get a little extra,never know when those plastic lines going to the idle speed control solehnoid & throttle kicker are gonna break(those are the small tubes going to the base of the TBI. Also,timing is 4*...

    My 1995 GMC 7.4L lost all of its power

    Good idea if you don't know how old it is. The program I use is Tuner Pro RT and is free.It can be a little tough to use at first.You Tube has many videos on learning how to use it.I'm still learning after a year and a half and has helped me diagnose a few problems with my burb in that year and...
