I haven't had to touch anything on my truck for a long time... must've gotten those gremlins ironed on out.

I'm at 43k miles, and the truck is running perfect... haven't had any problems in a while.

Just hope I don't jinx my luck.

I love my 4.2l.

 

Have you had a look at your FPDM? Replaced it? Or, if it wasn't bad, spaced it off the cross member?

Mine didn't cause any issues and wasn't cracked, but I replaced it anyway.

Before and after:

 

Running well? Hell yea, I'll toast to that.

Few years ago I had to get that vacuum leak issue resolved and a tune up at around 100k. She's been running great ever since. Only at 118,xxx now, but yea, this is definitely one reliable truck. I'm approaching 10 years since I purchased new, very few problems.

 

That fuel pump module looks like something I should replace this summer.
