Pink!
Yes....i agree.😗
When i purchased the truck three years ago that was one of my things to do list.
Question...if my water pump is going bad. Is it possible to be bad enough to make the engine have a bit of a shake to it as the belts go around?
Could be a stupid question but i just need to know. Ty

 

No. About the only thing that will make an engine shake like you have described, is missing on one or more cylinders.

 

ok
so whats my first step on finding out which cylinder it might be.
what should i be looking for?
what normally causes a cylinder to not work/
ty

 

Most usually it's burnt UVCH. Unplug one plug at a time with the engine running. See if unplugging any of the four make NO difference in how it runs. Look at the plugs real close for burnt or melted pins.

 

Ok. Do i need to remove the valve covers. You also mentioned "four".
Is the four or eight?
Last thing. I had this problem with my other truck and shut down one entire side. Didnt know it could shut down just one cylinder.

 

You can remove the valve covers and unplug on injector at a time right at the solenoid on the injector, but I meant unplug one valve cover gasket plug at a time. Each of the plugs controls two cylinders.

 

Ahhhh....Sorry. Now i get it. Ty

 

A visual check of each plug will be your best bet.
