Well here’s the story….My truck was running kinda sluggish so I talked to a guy down the block that fixes lawn mowers and he said that maybe the gas was old. He said I needed to maybe clean my fuel system out, and I think I might have done something bad.

What I did was went to Home Depot and got some Liquid Plumber and added it to my fuel tank ( I used the gel b/c it’s stronger) and I think it worked too good because now my injectors are plugged up, at least that’s what the lawn mower guy says, IDK.

So I pulled the injectors to clean them one at a time. I took each one out and buffed them up on my wire wheel real good and they look nice and clean now. But now the problem is I think that something is wrong with the computer because the injectors squirt real good but they don’t stop. The reason I know this is because three of them popped out when I tried to start the motor. But I fixed that with some J-B Weld and tapped them all in with a hammer. They are all nice and tight now but the truck still won’t run very smooth or very long. Some times when I try to start it raw gas drips out of the exhaust pipe, not a lot though, is that bad?

I have been working on this for a long time now and every time I go back to work on it there seems to be something else wrong I’m at a loss for ideas. I thought that because it was a little rich ( fuel dripping from the tail pipe) maybe it was starving for air. So I used my shop vac (on blow of course, I’m not stupid) to blow air into the throttle body. That was real easy to get to because one time when it back fired it burned the intake tube off (guess that will be a trip to the junk yard for a replacement), but if any body has a spare let me know. Any way what I did was turned the shop vac on and let it build up some pressure then tried to start it. To my suprize it fired right up and idled real fast for about 10 seconds then started to shake and slowed down then made a loud sort of clunking noise and stopped. After that it wouldn’t even turn over with the key. Could that be a PATS issue?
Any way my question is I am putting on 14” wheels with low profile tires and want to know what would be best for freeway driving 4:30’s or 4:56 gears. I was thinking 4:56 b/c they sound faster. I’ll probably put them in my self.

Sorry for the long post and any help would be appreciated . Thanks in advance. Oh yea this site rocks!










APRIL FOOLS
Jim

I Love this day!

 

So, My first and only question is:
How long did it take you to come up with this. Or, did you just copy and paste someones thread?

 

Took about 15 or 20 minutes. You like it?

And it's all original-I might be a little twisted. At least that's what my wife and kids say.

 

 

More like disturbed!!!!!

 

lol dang man as I was reading this I was thinking that you were either not the brightest one on the site, or you were HEAVILY medicated when doing this.

Happy April Fools!

 

Got me for a minute!!!!!!

 

Good one.

 

Got me at first. That's a good one. Mind if I borrow it??

 

Excellent compilation of the best of "The Thread Crapping Thread"!!!

 

Yeah!
BTW: 4:56's DO sound faster

 

That right there is funny, I don't care who you are.

 

I couldn't stop laughing when you said you used jb weld on your inhectors.

 

Go for it, It's about having fun.

 

Nah, not a little.... maybe a lot!

Truly scarey part is, there are actually people who would do those things.... and wonder "what's wrong with that?"
