Alright apparently all this is is a bashing ring. Yes I have checked all that s$!t and it still runs low rpm. My gps is recal'd my plugs are gapped and brand new. My vacuum lines are good. I am getting fuel. My plugs are firing. And I rotated my motor and all the valves raise like they are suppose to. All you dicks have to say is is that you have no idea and that would be fine don't insult my intelligence with asking dumb questions. Everything is working as it should but my truck is running low rpm. Serious possibilities only please.

With an attitude like that, you can go elswhere for answers. Everyone here is only trying to help. i dunno where you think anyone is trying to be a dick? No one is bashing your intelligence. In fact, you have just bashed others intelligence.

If you ask questions, people will answer whether it's what you need to hear or not, they are only trying to help.

You never even answered my question as to why the headgaskets wre replaced in the first place. You never stated there was any leaking going on or anything other than you just changed them cuz that's where you thought your problem was. I was trying to bring about that maybe you didn't need headgaskets OR you have another isolated problem.

Ive been a mechanic for over 20 years. From your inatinal description I dont think you actualy had a headgasket problem. I asked if you actualy found a failed gasket but no answer.

I think you have a problem with compression. Most likely a pluged exahust or a problem with the valve train. If the engine cant breath it will not rev.

Since you cant do the compression test try running with the exahust unhooked from the manafolds will it rev up now ?

Ok, who bashed you????? Your TPS is recalibrated? People are TRYING to help you man. That's what this is about, guys throw out ideas and if you've already done it or fixed that then you can slowly single things out. Without having the truck in someone's driveway and see what the problem is, it's hard to tell you exactly what's wrong.

Also, if you want to call people on here d!cks for not being able to pinpoint your problem in just a few posts you can go else where and figure it out yourself. No one insulted your intelligence, they were just throwing ideas at you. Maybe you're mechanical work is not to par since it was working fine before you "fixed" your head gaskets.
