So #2 definitely sounded a bit weak. 2 & 8 are usually cps faulty injectors correct? I'm thinking an ohm check of my cps to the ecu may be needed. However now that 1 is not kicking out on the contribution i'm thinking UVCH since we are on the same bank.
Not a problem, as Tom said I hope everything is OK.

How's the back feeling after being in the cold again? Looks like I better get the shop heated sooner rather than later.

Well now i've noticed if it rains the truck will randomly drop at least 500rpm like it dies, then come back to life. Its very sudden and jerks you quite a bit. Any ideas here? Its not even like downpouring rain... just light and steady.

Mike & Tom let me know when you'll be available sometime so we can finally do a few more tests and get this dang thing figured out!


On another positive i think my steering box is going out... have a nice binding once in a while.

Well i swapped #2 and #4 injectors last night with different but sort of the same running condition. Still shakes but not at the same rpm as before, got me thinking its just a bad injector. Looks like the UVCH had the keepers in there already but i did the 25 cent mod because it seemed like a tighter fit. Now however i have a hard code showing up, just need to check it out. Buzz test would be nice also.

Tom,


Did you ever grease your wheel bearings?

Well turns out it was just a bad injector. HPO valve went bad.... wish i could've known that from the start! Called up DPS and got it fixed for cheap and they turned it around in a day. Absolutely outstanding guys over there.


See you guys Sunday at Mikes! Should have her ready to go.
