It's a possibility but it's only got 80K original miles and was pretty well maintained throughout the years. I've been trying to go through all the Emissions and see what's working or not working. I think I've tracked down all the vacuum leaks from the dried/cracked tubing in the engine bay. I still get a strong exhaust smell when driving. When I have the time, I'm going to run through the system and track down any leaks. I Sea Foamed the engine awhile back and noticed some smoke actually coming out from under the truck and not just the tail pipe so I might be due for a new exhaust.

Sea Foamed the engine

Isn't that dangerous? Goes places inside the engine/components that aint so good?

Hey Kevin,
Wanted to let you know I went over to Barnes and Noble last night and got a copy of the True Blue Trucks with your article in it. Looks like it was the second of two articles, but I enjoyed reading it. Well written!
It's nice to see the sixes get some attention!

Thanks, AB. The editor inserted one paragraph about the sbc valves in the wrong place, but the rest came out okay.
