    Science says one thing, but I beg to differ. If the motor runs better and uses less gas then with e-gas, or anything lower, then why wouldn't run high octane. Burns cleaner to, don't it? I can tell a difference on my non high performance motor, it does give benefits as far as I can tell, to...

    So do I need those wires and thing thats not hooked up to anything? I mean obviously it isn't doing anything. Just didn't know what its wired to and what truck might do with it unplugged. But all you said is forgin to me, I've never seen or touched a factory set up on an old Chevy. I get the...

    I know, a Good pressure wash on the undercarriage is far over due and would do wonders for the truck. But saving my quarters as much as possible. Pressure washer that's available...well father in law can't get it to work. Asked me to help. Fixed his trimmer, hardly had to touch it and got it to...

    Oh yeah Header bolts. Heater core. diff vent was torn, and she sucked in some mud. The oil is nasty, but I fixed the leak finally. For now. Her vent was plugged cuz it torn and was to short. Here you see my handy work. Rtv minus the bolt where bolt is stripped out. And my anchoring for the...

    . Basically start fresh with something that at least has the potential to not have 10 different issues stacked up. I’ve been there done that and finding something that actually runs right and gets more than 10mpg is the right decision for your situation. I agree. Unfortunate circumstances...

    Took her out of town today, just to see. She sounded great, mostly, with the header gasket replaced. Unfortunately I think they ain't gonna cut it, cuz p.o. has some cheap/homemade headers, and they are for sure not even close to being flat. My luck. By time we went oh about 30 miles, we...

    She's got the shakes, need help locating the cause.

    So, this shaking, I'm thinking. It's gotta be a miss, or timming is off. Or both. Maybe even with a vacuum leak I haven't been able to find yet. Which reminds me, I got a check valve at the yard, was gonna test each tomorrow and see if I can see a difference between the old and the new/old...

    Ok so the bolt I got from the scrapyard has a neck without threads, and then threads on the bottom. I'm assuming the last one broke on the neck area, inside the hole, and came out because there was no threads holding in the head,. Does that make sense?

    She's got the shakes, need help locating the cause.

    Drill and welder at home. The bolts is broke under where the head would sit, 1/4 in or more. It was a collard bolt, and when she left, she left her threads inside and a ways in. I can find a drill, may have to drop header to get it to fit in the area, hope won't ruin the new cheapo gasket I...

    She's got the shakes, need help locating the cause.

    It sounded less um..just less. Comming from passenger side, might be fuel pump and might have put to long a bolt in the hole near the pump. Maybe it was a fuel rod I'm hearing. Wife says she could feel it more when she had her hand on the pump, I couldn't feel shit anywhere I tried putting my...

    Well, today was a good day. Didn't get to fix the main problem, but did help the truck a bit. So that's good.And, may not be as exciting for you but. Today was the first day I went into the scrap yard some since before the accident. Probably in the top 3 places I like to be. I checked the t...

    Everyone I know it's a lot to read, but I'm just trying to give as much info as I can cuz I've done a decent bit to her and looked over a handful of things. -The mount/brace bar from the t case to the motor is missing a bolt on the motor side. Could that cause such vibrations?

    Haven't checked t case yet, but check oil and trans almost daily, diffs checked few days ago, clean and full. Yeah I didn't like the movement in the shaft either, haven't thought about t case much till the past couple days, since the accident I was in had me in bed for a couple months and my...
