If this was my truck, I would be bringing it to a mechanic. Yes it will cost you money, but you are throwing a lot of money at parts that are not fixing it. With all the money you put in parts that didn't fix it, you could of payed a mechanic to hopefully tell you whats wrong. I can understand you wanting to save money by trying to fix it yourself but sometimes it ends up costing more. Sorry I don't have any help for you but I hope you get it fixed soon and the truck will treat you good.

Well I guess that would be ok if you don't need the use of a truck. I have an 06 gsxr 1000 and they are nice bikes, but its not a truck though. If you have gone this far with the truck, you might as well finish it.

You know when you get too the point when your just done with a project thats where I am now. I just lost my love for the truck.

I will miss the truck yes but I just cant put money into one head then have the other side mess up on me.

Sense I have bought this truck I have put about 2k into it and I bought it in Nov.

Im selling the canopy if you one wants it.

yup, the 08 and up already have the 2mil stroke on them. add a jug kit and you have a bad a z z 1441.
1000 and up, hold more value. dont let anyone tell you how you should spend your money. if you want to rebuild the motor and it cost you an arm and leg, so be it. you live and learn.

Well the gsxr will be the first supersport. So im not kidding my self with getting a 1000. I dont want too kill myself just yet.

And the truck is great but I cant find it in my self too have it sit for how ever long it takes me too rebuild it.

Probably wont ever buy a used gas dodge ever again. I guess I got a lemon you live and learn just likenbrion1 said and I learned the hard way.

Bit the bullet and took it down to the shop today. One odd thing happened I drove it down there sense it was only 5 blocks away.

Well it was knocking while I was driving it then all the sudden it just stopped knocking while driving but still dies and you can hear a miss pretty bad but no codes.

So should find out tomorrow.
