Tech Services had a network switch go up and they will be replacing it at 0600 hrs tomorrow. So until then my network is working at about half its capacity.

What type of switches do they use? I presume its a high end switch like a Cisco.

Noticed something odd on my truck when I checked the timing the other day: If I put the pickup near the plug on the #1 wire, I don't get a signal, but it works fine further up the wire. Piece of sh....

It sounds like you guys need a IT managed services contract to maintain, update and upgrade the systems if you are having crashes often.

Probably worth replacing it Devin. Probably should do all of em and the cap and rotor at the same time. It could explain some of your problems getting the carb tuned if its an intermittent miss.

We dont get too many issues Tim. Our IT department is spread out between several bldgs and campuses. Alot of our stuff runs great all the time. Especially for my office. I think that is where they run into the issues because my office uses alot of bandwidth 24 hrs a day.

Just replaced the stupid things 14 months ago Gonna do them again, I've known that I've needed to.

Gonna keep the old carb on until I can get a 4bbl intake and maybe new cam.

Unfortunately, Tim. That's why I'd love to just pull the engine and give it a go-through. Of course, that would only fix any engine-related problems.

Main problem with the Holley is that crap is getting sucked up from the bottom of the gas tank and deposited on the needle seats. For some reason, the 2150 seems to cope with that better. Might be the tiny filter that screws into the carb body.

So I'll have the gas tank cleaned (or just replace it), get a new intake, new cam while I'm at it, and put the Holley back on.

I wish it were that simple. The abs light is on, the speedometer, odometer and door locks don't work.

I changed the VSS
Put the stock tune back in
Checked batteries and FICM voltage
Removed all aftermarket accessories
Checked every ground I could find
Pulled the GEM and cleaned
Checked every fuse and relay
Pulled hair out. Might take it to the dessert and catch it on fire.

Probably a safe bet for now Devin. I doubt you need a full rebuild.
