You really need to get out more.

Nope, I drag it out every couple weeks and drive it to work. Still waiting on a new owner that wants it more than I do.

Out for a test drive in the desert. This truck should not take so much work as the 64.
On the way home , the service engine light came on with a #32 EGR fault code ---SOB!! I dont get fault codes on old classic iron!!!

Sounds like just pulling the EGR off and cleaning the carbon out to me, just a thought to check.

You are joking right, Scott?

. I didn't want to think you are joking and you are actually serious.

Bubba I agree with Scott.

the light only seems to pop on when I run it up to around 60 mph. I think you are probably right.
My friend never was a fast driver, It may be full of carbon and need cleaning and an Italian tune-up.

Go blow the carbon out of it. I remember my grandma doing that in here 69 Camaro.

BTW, what's an Italian tuneup?

About the same thing
Blowing the carbon out at full throttle like an Italian driver.. .
Personally I never met any Italians yet but That is how my friend refers to a "drive it like you stole it " adventure.

I picked up a EGR gasket tonight, I will pull it apart this weekend and clean up the EGR. I noticed a vac line broken off from the charcoal vapor canister also. I will head to the Pick a part this weekend and score another one.

**scotts62** · 12-01-2011, 12:40 AM

Im half Italian so you met a partial

daverod · 12-01-2011, 10:41 AM

He lied he met my wife . She's 100% Italian.

I think she was being nice that day though.

bubba327 · 12-01-2011, 09:22 PM

Okay I did lie .. 1 and a 1/2 that I know.....

I'm wondering if it would be worth it to swap in a 5.3? I can get a complete 5.3 with accessories and harness for $425. Just wondering what other expense would be involved. Fuel, PS, old 4L60 hookup, exhaust.

If there is a good thread where someone else has done it ease LMK. I'll do some searching.

Hard to say Alan. Uniqness probably. More power or value, I am not sure if it would be worth all the changes.

Alan's Classic · 08-31-2013, 11:21 PM

The alternator went out Friday, replaced it today.
