Wheee, went through and reset my valve lash, set the timing, shes running so much better now, still not perfect though, it seems to have a slight issue with starting from a dead stop into full acceleration, probally needs slightly retarded or advanced timing... Also, when I am travelling at about 70 - 75 mph or so, I cannot hear the engine over the wind noise at all, but I can hear a loud sucking noise like someone sucking through a straw, is that a vaccum leak, or just my truck sucking in the air really hard?
Also, I think my exhaust is ticking a bit, esspecially when travelling around 30 mph or so, I tried tightening the bolts a bit, but no avail... The noise is the same loudness on both sides of the truck, and isn't the rockers or lifters for sure. All thats left to do is fix that under dash light, paint my instrument backs with chrome paint, tighten a front bumper bolt, change out my tank switch and she is totally in perfect running order... I feel that I totally increased my milage tonight too, I ran her hard for a good half hour and hardly used any fuel compared to what I would have expected Oh yeah, also have body work to do and a stereo to install Does anyone make 6 x 9 brackets for my cab corners?
