Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

Greetings from Siberia, buddy Stas sent a pic of himself wearing a T-shirt I sent him.

The world really is a great small place.



So today was a slow day, lazy, other stuff to do, weather, you know…… excuses. Lots of them.

So I opened the air feed to the throttle body and cleaned it out in position.

A lot more came out on the micro fibre cloth with carb cleaner.



Resulting in a bit cleaner airways after cleaning this mess, both sides of the butterfly.

Needs more doing to it.



After starting it up, it was hunting for a while.

Then warmed up and settled mostly at 900 rpm.

Video below shows a bit more.

While the motor was doing its own little thing, I checked the lights one more time.

Including the rear foglight.






Once the rain became unpleasant, I headed indoors and sat watching some YouTube videos supported by the second best thing after a good rum with friends…..

Coffee.



So, weather permitting, tomorrow I will revisit this thing and also investigate the air supply or lack of it.

Dinner was good, sweet n sour pork with spring rolls.

Boooom !
