Good Afternoon 
I was wondering if anyone has a connection @ Desert Valley Parts and
if they are a pretty good place as there are some things I just won't by
on line and my list is at a point where I should start checking stuff off.
Plus it's always fun to walk through history
Thanks !

Dave (Garbz) has lots of stuff and knows where to find parts, maybe ask him,
Good Looking Truck BTW!

4onetons, thank you for your advice. As far as the idle, im not sure what speed the idle is at, i didnt see a tach in the truck when i looked at it. 
It just sounds really reved, like your giving it gas, but goes to "normal" when you put it in drive. It even sounds good at a stop light, its just when you put it in park and it idles before you shut it off.
Thanks again for you help.

Yes it was in fact it was the first thing I thought of when I saw Mr. Majestyk

And on a related note it's Charles Bronson week on AMC (always more commercials)
the 'Death Wish' series run's through Friday, sadly they will cut many parts out.
I've always admired his work, there will never be another Bronson

Good late morning everyone. FedX brought us some temp sensitive medicine for Vici's leg that was shipped over night on Thursday. So now the Drug Company is filing a claim because it is NO GOOD & there was $50,000 worth of medicine in the COLD BOX that was warm by the time we got it. The Drug Company is resending using a private carrier this time so we will see.
One thing is I'm stopping business with companies that use Fed X as their shippers because Fed X is late or losses everything we have ordered since living in Yuma. They can not provide GOOD SERVICE HERE. Rockauto will not see any business from me anymore unless I don't need whatever I order in any time frame. I notified them of that. I know they are a Sponsor on this site. I Thanked them for that.

Thanks Bill.
A vacuum leak...someone else mentioned that. The owner said he just had some hoses replaced, and thats when the idle started doing that.
Could it be, that there is an air leak (not sure if that is what a vacuum leak is.......)where the new hoses are, due to the mechanic not clamping them down tight enough?? Sorry if that doesn't make sense, im not mechanically inclined at all, but trying to learn all i can. I do appreciate everyone's help.
