    New interior upgrades!!

    Ok fine. I'll give a sneak peek. I have more trim things to take care of but here's the quick and dirty. Just finished the seat yesterday. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Edit to add before..

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Ok, so the spring tries to keep it closed and the exhuast should be enough to overcome that. Which means I need to tie that bad boy off against the spring tension. That's what I expected Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Ha huh? Valves are good. Truck lost consistent idle after they fixed the exhaust leak but he put the efe back on and now the flap actuates well enough that the spring tries to keep it in a particular position. Asking what that is Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Exhaust/valve tick

    I went back to the exhaust fellas and I had them replace the gaskets to the efe valve. Tick is gone!! Gaskets we're totally busted. But... Now the truck runs like crap off the line. Sputtering and what not. Again, I didn't get a good look while he had it off (totally my fault) so I don't know if...

    New interior upgrades!!

    So kind of an unfortunate turn of events and a better outcome. I took my seat out, removed the back, removed the cover, dusted the foam off, cut a new piece of 1" foam to match the new cover and realized after stretching the new cover the previous owner put a 73-80 seat in my 85. Can't find a...

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Im not offended bud. I've accomplished enough to know what I don't know and I'm not ashamed to ask what I don't. I realize all y'all here are way more educated on the intricacies of these trucks, or any vehicle for that matter, than I'll ever be. That why I'm here offering my dumbass...

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Ok so back to unsticking the valve.... Not sure if this is how it should work but the tick is louder and the optimistic side of me wants to believe it has broke free and now I get to readjust the valve lash and everything will be smooth as Creek bed butter. Sound right? Sent from my SM-G965U...

    Exhaust/valve tick

    So reading back through this and from my understanding, the exhaust would just feed back through the manifold across the intake to the other side. Is this not true? Maybe I just dont understand how this thing works.

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Nice. I put some MMO in the fuel tank too. I was reading up on the EFE valve from the Haynes manual and it noted that a malfunctioning EFE could result in run-on. That was interesting. I'm assuming that's when its stuck closed. The reason I didn't know what was open or closed is becuase its...

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Done. Got a needed oil change today and added it in. Do I run it until the tick stops or 3000 miles (whichever comes first) or is there a tipping point? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Exhaust/valve tick

    I wasnt suggesting it was spinning, I meant that it could be flapping back and forth since there isnt a constant exhaust pressure and would allow it to smack both sides. I could be wrong but wanted to rule it out. I cannot find this Dex 3 oil you speak of. The only thing I see is for...

    New interior upgrades!!

    Here was my purchase history. Looks like I spent a total of about 400 after everything. To mount the 6x9s I cut a piece of plywood out that would wedge in the corner of where the 4x10s go. I carpeted that, mounted the speaker and used that baffle on the back. I'm sure I could get better quality...

    Exhaust/valve tick

    I actually removed the valve cover while running and relashed the valves the other night and the tick was still there. Either I was sloppy (work quality/drinking) or it's gotta be that dumbass efe bs Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Dammit. I'm sitting here contemplating just sucking it up. Only problem is it's my DD at the moment... I may just soak it in pbb and give a few tugs... If that feels to scary I reckon I'll get the torch. Is it really as easy as pulling off the nuts, sliding the efe out, sliding a donut/gasket in...

    Exhaust/valve tick

    So I'm afraid to try to pull mine off to replace for fear I'll shear off a stud or two. I think I'm just going to tie it open for the moment and see if it makes the tick a little better... Unfortunately, I don't know what is open and what is closed. There's about an inch long flat blade that's...

    New interior upgrades!!

    Guys.... Holy cow. If you want some bump... That soundstream setup is legit! I bought a $30 wire kit, so for $190, I got a badass setup that would have been like $700 back in the day, or even now. Just saying... Now I get to listen to all the tunes I used to bang out in the 90's and 00's when I...

    Buzzer for headlights

    Funny thing is that I always forget to turn mine on until I need them and then it's dark when I get out so I always remember to turn them off. Maybe a better solution would be to bypass the pull switch and hook it up to an ambient light sensor to mitigate any thought at all. Sent from my...

    New interior upgrades!!

    Initially I did krylon. It turned out good but I'm redoing them since I didn't do any surface prep. I was being lazy and testing out the color. I've ordered some SEM to redo. The seat pic in the OP was a usa1industries sample. My interior should look the same. I'll know more about that seat when...

    Rear sliding glass

    I was initially going to replace my slider because someone knocked out the far passenger panel and had it replaced with fiberglass.. I'm assuming there has to be a way to remove the whole back glass, replace the panel and then the whole assembly. If anyone has replaced these themselves, is this...
