Haha you got me Wh1t3Nukle That was pretty good. I actually took a couple vids the night of, hoping the truck would start. Here's one.

EDIT: And by the way I was still not happy with the video you posted. I wanted to hear the rumble of the idle from the exhaust end, with the more aggressive cam.

Hey, your battery no like you. So what is your status with it now? Fuel stabilizer? Have you gone down the troubleshooting road already? Figured you'd report when ready.


Yeah, I kept forgetting to get an updated video of my R/T. I have a couple vids, but I don't think they will appease you. I have a single exhaust, the K&N FIPK, and am not sure if the cam is detectable in it. I can feel it at idle though.

This video was done to identify the tick, which later was the lifter issue now resolved. Also, the 14x3 seen is gone. Got my K&N tube back on there. So, I will do an update video. Make sure to send me any requests though. Right now we are getting hit with some healthy rain and snow up in the Sierras. Not sure about making the recording in this weather....

You check to make sure your crank position sensor is in place and not broken? I snapped mine off when I removed or installed the trans...sounded much like yours, popped in a new one and vroom!

I know that the crank sensor is intact. I have not had a chance to try starter fluid, so i haven't tried stabilizer either. Hopefully tomorrow.

Wh1t3 that was good enough for me on the tailpipe, it doesn't have much difference from stock (to my ear), but that's probably because its a driveable cam About the battery, I plan to get me an optima yellowtop sometime in the near future. I don't know what toasted that one though...

Tried it with starter fluid. Nothin'. So next I will check for spark, and go from there. I went fishing again today, so no time to dig deeper. Hopefully it's something simple and cheap.


In other news, my Zoom kevlar clutch kit is on it's way, I ordered it from advance auto this morning ($412), and it shipped soon after. I am excited to get my baby back on the road again!

No, just mosquito bites

Pretty night though.









Caught this one a couple weeks ago, but nothing since then.

Hey, I warned you that it doesn't sound all Hulky.

I'd recommend (from what I've come across) not to go Optima. Personally feel they are overpriced. The technology is just not that supersized as it's marketed. I mean they are great if you plan to roll over or something, but I've come across various rigs that just have failed optimas. Not any reason specific, but like they are just dead and any number of things cause it.

Unless you have done it already, I'd say you should toss a charger on that thing and get the charging system tested. If you have AAA, they can do that on the spot for you. Also, can just yank the battery and test at the parts store. Nothing new infor for you here, but would hate for you to get a new battery (regardless of brand) and the charging system...ganks it.
