Dlyter see above

Forgot to mention earlier that I fixed the speedometer. The sensor was not in the correct position relative to the tcase mainshaft gear. Yay. Also, I washed the truck for the very first time since I have owned it. It looks pretty good!

Default First Bath!

As I said in post #201, I gave my truck the first wash it has ever received since I have owned it. Here are the pictures of it all cleaned up.







Lots of gear oil and ATF has been spilled on this tailgate, as it is my workbench, so it doesn't look very clean.




The dude on the right is the resident of the house, he let me suds-n-bucket it up. I went through basic with him. The one on the left is the guy you saw helping my install the trans.






I don't like chrome things, and have never had any attachment to these wheels, but WOW they cleaned up nice! I kinda like it now...

Thanks Dlyter. You never realize how bad it looks dirty 'till you clean 'er up, then you stand back and say "Why don't I do this more often?"

I cleaned the IAC. It needed it haha...





Also cleaned up the rest of the throttle body (the spots i missed during previous engine disassembly). It helped for a while, and the truck seemed to run stronger altogether, until about 8 miles down the road it started coughing again. It only happens when not under load (idle and sustained speed at low rpm). O2 sensor perhaps? It didn't happen until it was thoroughly warmed up.

Pulled the O2 out, left it's electrical plug connected. Drove it for 30 miles without any issues. So next payday (saturday) it will get a new o2.
