On C-clip axles, some in/out play is perfectly normal. If it's less than 1/4 inch, don't even worry about it.

Codes P0300/p0301/02/08. W.T.F.!!!!!! I'm literally at my wits end with this effin truck.

im on my 3rd crank sensor,1st one died(no start) then put a bwd sensor in, ran fine but got random misfire codes, then bought a Delphi sensor with major improvements!!! I have since replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor and finally all 4 o2 sensors(I have a California model) and I think I can honestly say the downstream sensors is what my true problem was,my throttle response improved greatly after that,are you able to test your o2 sensors with your obdwiz??

I'll take a look and see. I know it reads the sensors. What should I test them for?

You can read the data, but, that will be fairly meaningless...... Unplug it, and see if the truck runs any better. If it does, replace it.
