You could sit in the truck and have someone spray all the seams with a garden hose or take it to the car wash and watch for leaks. :drinking:

I changed the Ecm sensor that is in the intake by the thermo. My temp gauge was not working after I got my ty out of storage and the guy at the parts store gave me the Ecm sensor instead of the Coolant temp sensor so I just changed it since I had it. As for the Black smoke, a friend of mine told...

The other day a co-worker was following me after work. I kicked it down from 60 to 80 to shrick his Dodge Hemi ego a bit. The next day he told me that I had some Black smoke coming from the exhaust right when I hit WOT. I did a search and all I could find was members having Black smoke all the...

I had the same problem with my tranny in my K1500. It turned out to be the TV valve was sticking therefore it takes more pressure to engage for shifting, especially into 2nd and 3rd. As for adjusting the TV cable, with the truck not running push the adjustment all the way in and then rotate the...

If I had that problem I would just grab some jumper cables and hook them up to someone's car just to get some juice to pop the window. 8)

I am getting a clunking sound also, but it only appeares when I go over a bump in the road and I felt it in the floorboard. It started about 2 weeks ago when a friend of mine told me that the passenger side was lower than the drivers side height. I adjusted the torsion bars accordingly to even...

Last week I ordered some Taylor wires for my ty, so I went to pick them up and they were 8.5 MSD Super Conductors. Apparently they messed my order with someone elses. They ordered the MSD's for my ty and the Taylors were for a 4 cyl :-? . Should I just go with the MSD's? They are going to give...

I am having the same issue with my ty, periodically i was getting some tach flutter. So I checked the plugs and there were cr43's in it and not the cr42's. I dont know the differences in these plugs, would this be causing the problem? Tommarrow I will be picking up a Conrad Brass Cap and Rotor...

Never thought of checking if the IC is leaking. I'll do a pressure check on it and see if I have a leak. Think I might do a compression check also just to make sure its not a head gasket. I'll keep you posted, thanks for the info!! :lol:

I checked the PCV valve and hoses. Blew in the end in which goes into the valve covers and the air flowed right through. Did the same on the other end and just a little seeped threw, hardly any at all. I think it is in good condition?? Last night I had my gf start the ty while I watched the...

I am thinking I need to replace the stock turbo seals in my ty. Getting White smoke and a little water coming from the exhaust on startup. If it turns out that I need to replace the seals I am going to replace the bearings since I am working on it. My question is, are these seals and bearings...

Thanks for the assistance guys. I'll just hold off on installing them for right now until I have the correct build to accept them. Alot of time has been saved, thanks again. :roll:

I am a new member to the forum, just picked up my ty, Black/Black/#0013 with 39,000 miles, man I love this thing. Anyways my best friend just crashed his 97 s10 and he said he would give me his Ported & Polished Vortec's for free if I did some machine work on his Jet Ski engine. My question is...
