Bus Ted Knuckle · 04-27-2007, 05:07 PM

call the local wrecking yards and find another el cheapo and drive it till it pops too

Or you could do the responsible thing and put some money and time into it

**truckdude239** · 04-27-2007, 05:59 PM

RACINJASON22 · 04-27-2007, 06:11 PM

Sounds like the engine in the truck got jeolous of the new one and just gave up the ghost.

Hope everything works out good for ya

centsless · 04-27-2007, 07:46 PM

69halfton · 04-27-2007, 08:10 PM

I call em disposible cars.

68C15 · 04-27-2007, 09:51 PM

**truckdude239** · 04-27-2007, 11:42 PM

72armyswbtruck · 04-27-2007, 11:55 PM

in that case check the timing.

**truckdude239** · 04-28-2007, 07:18 AM

well it is a 2 bbl carb i had to reset timeing the other day it had changed from like 2 degree btdc to like 13 i reset to 0 then begin to play wiht it, it seemed to like 3 degrees before top dead

68C15 · 04-28-2007, 01:43 PM

blown muffler (nasty backfire) + original 307 (nylon cam gear teeth) + timing changing = time for a chain and gear set.

PanelDeland · 04-28-2007, 04:50 PM

I think 68C15 hit the nail on the head.

**hilljob26** · 04-28-2007, 04:52 PM

i bet your chain gears are half gone

BarryB · 04-28-2007, 05:25 PM

Aslong has he didn't bend some valves with the timing chain placement being off. ouch!!

**truckdude239** · 04-28-2007, 06:14 PM

68C15 · 04-29-2007, 08:07 AM

How about getting a pool going? Sell each guess at $1.00 per.Brick the throttle, video camera a stopwatch to verify when it blows, split the pot with the winner & your heads are paid for.

Bishops Trucks · 04-29-2007, 09:00 AM

Get that truck fixed, I would hate to see you have to drive one of those Fords you have.

**truckdude239** · 04-29-2007, 09:18 AM

well right now the ford f-150 is also out with a bad motor motor had close to 415k on it when it gave up the ghost it got a reman motor ordered for it last night. the the ford van my dad is driving so right now i don't have anything to drive

**special-K** · 04-29-2007, 10:18 AM

Is the motor knocking or ticking.Lay your ear(with a screwdriver or something)on the timing cover.If your timing chain is stretched or teeth are bad,the chain will slap the cover,especially when letting off and quieter at idle.

jb4short · 04-29-2007, 10:32 AM

$1.00 in hand for the pool!

old Chevy guy · 04-29-2007, 11:02 AM

Once I had a 305 in my Chevy van I thought for sure had wiped the cam as it was smoking and popping thru the carb. I was ready to junk the whole truck when just for the heck of it I pulled off the valve covers and found that a pushrod had pluged up and since it didnt get oil to that rocker it wore the pushrod down till the rocker fell off and that intake valve didnt open anymore. A second hand rocker and a pushrod latter and I drove that truck 2 more years till it rusted out and Ill bet you could start it now and it would still go. After that repair it was brand new again .
