I experienced that same thing when I got a new starter back in the spring. I could tell a HUGE difference :)

I think I mighta sold my square today. Tough times call for tough decisions...

When I bought it, my moms BF was flabberghasted at the price I got it for. He said several times he woulda done that deal too. So I asked him this morning if he would want to buy it. He said heck yea! But he will have to make payments, which is fine by me. Itll stay in the family too so Im happy!

Maybe someday when Iv actually got some spare cash, Ill buy it back from him!

Time for you to move on to a Crew Cab so you can take all the 3 kids and the wife on a ride.

Yeah and I'll probably get one as my next DD but I'll never get rid of my '77 :) I would love to get an 87-91 crew can though :drool:

Yep, I agree. I still want a K5 over a Burb, but Burb is certainly the 2nd choice and hope if I get one it's 3/4 ton 4x4, but I'd sure settle for CrewCab 4x4 Truck too. It's just the long ass Crew Cabs don't go places the K5 and Burbs can go and certainly not a good candidate if you get into any kind of rock crawling at all.

Yeah the only downside for me on getting a square burb over a crew cab/3+3 is I'd like my DD to have a bed on it for hauling stuff from time to time but I would love a square body burb to DD and would be easier to drive around a parking garage than a long bed crew cab square :D

I see why you're sad. That's not fair there is only 1 fouled on the right bank and not 2 like there is the left. There should be 2 fouled on each side so it runs evenly. :hidesbehindsofa:


Step up the heat 1 step on those 3 cylinders. That will help them burn a little hotter and burn the oil off. If that don't work, get the non foulers that screw on the end of the plugs.
