the pwer seems ok steve and i already am getting bad gas mileage so i dont want to make it any worse than it is now but i might do that slot thing later when i get all my mods.....JUST TRYING TO GET THE DAMN THING FIXED FOR NOW....LOL....AND THANX AGAIN STEVE....i appreciate all your guys help!!!!!!!

 

what is your truck setup? perf parts, std cab vs qc/cc 5.2/5.9...

have you checked your plenum? what kind of gas mileage are you getting...

 

2000 qc ....5.9 and the plenum is next.....i checked it and it looked ok and now i have lost a quart of oil and i dont know where so i am assuming it is the plenum which i will have changed anyway and the mileage is about 11 and 14.....whick i guess it is ok from what i hear from some others......i have the off-road with 4.10 gears!!!!! plus no mufflers, just cats which i know i need some back pressure so i will be doing the exhaust too!!!!!

 

Man i havent replaced the crank sensor yet, because my truck has been running like a champ for the last two weeks with an exception of that one little time my truck sputtered about two days after i put in the VSS sensor. So i was holding out on the crank sensor, but on the way to work this morning my truck acted up again looks like im going to have to buckle down and go ahead and put the crank sensor on...hopefully it will fix my problem...i think it will.

 

let us know if it fixes it

 

hey guys, while engine idling, try flicking with fingers, small wires harness plugged into bottom of coil,(design flaw is that continuous vibration to harness from cooling fan flow, eventually breaks wires near connector) My nickel!
Marc.

 

thanx mark but mine turned out to be the crank sensor and i think sakdaddy is going to try that on his too.....but thanx for the nickel!!!!!!!

 

I didnt want to update on here about my problem because i felt i would jinx it, but after 1.5 weeks i think i am alright.

My truck has not sputtered once since i put on the crank sensor. If is finally fixed, but MAN! that crank sensor is hard to get to.


but anyway...this is to show my appreciation for everyone on this forum that took the time to help me fix my problem, it has been doing this for almost a year and it is not finally fixed.


i appreciate it guys.

 

i got a similar problem. i read all of the posts and see how helpfull you guy's are so decided to post my problem. i have a 1999 1500 5.9 4x4 sport that just decides to die after about 15 min. of driving or just getting hot. it won't crank up untill in cools off, but the strange thing is that i turn on the ignition and all the lights come on but the gauges don't move. normally when you turn on the ignition, the gas gauge and the tempeture gauge will rise, but in my case they don't. HELP! PLEASE!

 

Not throwing any codes? No CEL? Any other indication? Sounds like the PCM getting hot and shutting down cause without any codes ... ???
