You might also want to check to see if the keg has been "fixed".

 

Wow that thing looks super clean for a 98...

+1 on the plenum gasket thing.

 

Great looking truck! congrats on the purchase!

 

Good to know you got the idle fixed.

Read the plenum sticky at the top of the tech page, get that done. Your truck is too nice to suffer the consequences of a blown plenum.

Welcome to DF!

 

Another damn clean truck!!




O wait, ding in the tailgate and chrome fender thinga-mah-bobbers.







I'm totally kidding!!! Looks good man and welcome to DF.

 

Wow thanks for the responses, it is clean for a ohio truck. The rockers were replaced about 8 months ago i guess, cant even tell.. i feel that i made out good, minus the 2wd but cant complain at $2400...

Back to work. Ill look into that keg thing and will be sure to do the Plenum.

Thanks again for the help and the great comments.

 

Not sure what he means by the "keg" thing... Your plenum is the issue.. Only thing I can think of is cutting the runners inside the keg but that is not something that needs to be done..

 

Well i been having the stalling in reverse again the last two days (first start ups of the day, thru the day after being driven it reverses fine).. really only notice it doing it when its pretty cold out (6 degrees today).. so i went ahead and got a new IAC motor.. its a BWD brand from advance auto.

Upon inspection of the 2, i found a slight difference and would like to know if its going to cause any issues.

Here is a pic, old on left and new on right.. the old one is longer shaft and tip wise.. not sure if it will be a problem.. opinions/comments welcomed.



I pulled the Neg cable before disconnecting the IAC, and reconnected after done to reset everything. Took her for a ride to relearn her self and all seems fine. Find out for sure 2morrow morning when i throw it in reverse.

 

Not a problem. The pintle moves in any event. The new one just isn't extended out as far.

 

pintle sounds better then "shaft and tip" lmao... i read pintle earlier but couldnt remember what the name was.

anywho, thank you.


now i think im going to grab a TPS and throw it in. after i installed the IAC and drove it a bit i noticed that when say, you look down and your over the speed limit and you ease off the gas a bit, instead of the rpm's lowering right away the rpm's go up a little then drop down, this is when easing off the gas.. kind of hard for me to explain, i think i might make a video and post it after work 2morrow so who ever looks it over can see what it does.

and also before i did the IAC, while driving down the road and you let off the gas (all the way this time) the truck use to just coast and hold speed for a few before it slowed down.. Now, when i let go the rpm's drop instantly, and the truck kind of feels like it nose dives, (not hard) and starts slowing down right away instead of coasting for a few..

i figure with 134k miles and most of the parts and sensors look original, including water pump, i might as well grab a TPS and throw it on. does the symptoms above reflect a bad TPS? i know the IAC and TPS works together, so since one is new maybe its letting me know its time for the other as well.. idk, maybe i need to drive it more since relearning, only drove it maybe 50 miles after the battery reconnect.


also did the magnet test on my plate, original, will be ordering a hughes plate in the future.
