I just changed the oil pan gasket with help from a previous post, and successfully I may add. TY again for those that helped. However I have a new issue:
The vacuum lines from the vacuum shift motor were brittle from age and I inadvertantly hit them with a ratchet and broke them I have replaced the lines, now my truck wont idle at all, it runs smooth while moving but soon as the rpms drop at a stop sign it dies immediately, I have looked for other lines loose or broke to no avail. my question is, are there any key areas I can look at for a leak that would cause this? ie are there other lines under the engine that I am not seeing or would there be a hose around the carb, I did take the air filter housing off to lift the engine, I did not do any other work on it, and it ran perfect before.

 

Also wanted to mention that when its a low rpms it runs rougher than normal driving rpms.

 

Take a look on the passenger side of the engine in the area between the midpoint of the intake manifold and the cowl. There are a couple of lines there that are easily enough broken when futzing around with the air cleaner.

 

Check the 4wd line running down the top of trans going back to the transfer case, that line is brittle and always breaks

 

I will look at those things, TY for your feedback
