My buddy has o4 silverado 4.8 2wd. at low speeds like pulling in and out of driveways it is stalling and shutting off. Any insight? maybe the IAC?

Any CEL?

Recent change, as in the last tank of gas had water in it?

Any other diagnosis attempted, like the old spray carb cleaner around the manifold trick?

Filters, air and fuel, checked or replaced?

Fuel pressure checked?

Maybe he can get a new truck, and maybe you can get a new buddy....

Try to be helpful and get shot down? What's with him? Well, you tried.

There, did that help?

Sorry to hear of such a, fair weather friend. Very nice of you to inquire on his behalf though. Fuel system drier in a tank of gas, may clear that up though.
Cheers, to you at any rate.

Oh, the mighty Chevy guy who doesnt want it to get out that something is wrong with his Chevy, and will never take advise from a Ford guy...........Only thing worse is the toyota guy who will NEVER admit anything ever breaks on his oh-so perfect ricer.
