Did all the conectors under the truck today and just wondering if using a brake cleaner in the conectors is and then blowing them out with compress air is ok?

 

Well good progress.

I dont know if using brake cleaner is the best idea. On the same shelf at autozone in connector cleaner. It is probably a little safer, especially with the connector and the little gaskets for them. Also non-chlorinated brake cleaner leaves a white cloud looking residue/damage to underhood plastics. Just my own experience.

Good luck

 

Contact cleaner would have been my first choice but brake cleaner should do you well. Any progress?

 

Well didnt get to the truck today had to work, But since i did under the truck there still is no difference so when the weekend comes i will be going through the rest unless get off work early this week.
Someone said i should spray a lube into the terminals after cleaning them, what do you guys think?

 

There are several different types of electrical lubricant. It comes in a tube, spray or a pen applicator. It definatly couldn't hurt anything.

 

O2 sensor maybe, I had same problem with a jeep I had it did that and I put a new O2 sensor on it and bam it was running better then ever (I also replaced spark plugs and wires)

 

Is there anyway to test an o2 sensor?

 

I found this site

I never did test mine just changed it so I guess I got lucky but I don't think O2 sensor cost very much

Hope this helps

 

I got 4 o2 sensor on the truck and up here they are $80 each so I am going to test them on the weekend. Thanks for the Link on testing them. I hope by sunday night the truck is back to normal...

 

Wow Blackram, $80 a piece. They are 25$ a piece here at advanced auto for near OEM quality or 50$ each for Oem quality. I would have no problem getting them for you and shipping them, honestly. I do know that even shipping has increased to canada, but another 18$ to ship all four would still save you money. Ill get them all to you for near 125. Quite a cost savings, depending on your choice of brand name.

I mean honestly, canada should be taxed extra, you guys live the good life with big brother america near by. Plus with an american wife...haha.

I am just playing. Let me know if I can help. Good luck with everything. "Would I be trafficking o2 sensors, hmmm scary thought.
