well got it to the shop this morning i tried taking a chance and buying a new IAC when i pulled the old unit off i noticed there was motor oil in it........ YEs and alot of frothing under the oil fill cap. not the valvetrain on the passenger side was clacking like a diesel. Im almost positive there is vacuum lines switched now. But after paying 5k for the new motor and installed thinking from here on out its there problem. I told him ncely since this is the 5th time the truck has been in the shop in the last 5 weeks i will contact my attorney today if he can not solve this issue. frusterated but now its a challenge to figure out whats going on. So to sum it up back at that local shop again for one last try before i bring it to the dreaded dealer! LMAO

If you could take a few pics, I could tell you if it's all hooked up right. Perhaps when you get it back, and if it's still acting up.

Blue,

I just saw your thread. I'm sorry you're having troubles!

Honestly, keep the truck and work through your issues with good, knowledgeable folk like Brew-shkabob. If he's serious about taking a look at it for you, I'd take him up on it! Just keep in mind, he's a hairy-backed Melungeon with an appetite fer young fellers like yerseff. Just brink a good pillar to bite down on.

Seriously, you won't get near what you put into it, and you'll regret selling it unless you absolutely have to. I say keep that beauty and get her runnin' right.

Sounds like the ol' Hellraiser movies!

Blue, don't let Brew-shkabob use you as a flesh covering for his chained up monster in the attic!

Now this whole thing makes me think of those crazy Direct TV commercials....

When your cable service is terrible, you cancel your service.
When you cancel your cable service, you have extra money.
When you have extra money, you spend it on truck mods.
When you spend your money on truck mods, you're bound to have truck trouble.
When you have truck trouble, you go to Brew-shkabob's house to have him take a look.
When you go to Brew-shkabob's house to have him take a look, he unleashes his fleshless attic monster on you and it devours your blood to make a flesh covering for itself....

...Don't have your blood devoured by a fleshless attic monster...switch to Direct TV.

Yea the garage door is about 6'10". The trucks about as tall as I am, maybe a little taller, 6'3" or so.

Thing is, I'd have to do spring cleanin a little early to make this work. Not to mention, I'd have to get dressed up first. I'm not really feelin all that.
