I drove the truck all day Friday and it was cutting out on me. Acted like a fuel issue. I'll probably change the filters first since I installed a new fuel pump already last summer. I did run a compression test on it just to see what it had and 6 cylinders were about 120lbs but #5 was 110lbs and #4 was 100lbs. Not terribly bad but I am a little concerned about #4. The truck still runs pretty good though and doesn't smoke too bad yet so I'll probably keep driving it for a while and just do some body work.

I saw you driving on West Main Friday. Didn't make the light to catch up to you though.

It's not like your engine hasn't been stress tested.

*highperf4x4* · 04-05-2010, 10:56 PM

yeah no doubt. I will have a 383 soon enough and you can test your TBSS on that one.

*highperf4x4* · 04-05-2010, 11:57 PM

I know, I sucked the headlights out of Neil's dodge and Blakes Ferd!!!!

All it takes is one light, man. You can write it off after that.

And you smoked Neil's Dodge. I didn't get into the race with you all. I just watched on. I went on by later to make my inline 6's self esteem go up a bit.

Do i have to get the wifes Avi and shut you guys up??

*highperf4x4* · 04-08-2010, 10:41 PM

Sounds like a challenge! How much power does her avalon have anyway?

*highperf4x4* · 04-11-2010, 12:45 PM

Well, I changed the inlet filter on the Q-jet and tried to adjust the points a little bit and the truck was still cutting out last night at the cruise so it must be something else. I'm thinking about dropping the Mallory HEI in there that used to be in the 4x4.

Here's some progress for you nay-sayers!!

Went out to Neils today and he and James and Steve helped me pull the trim, weld up some monster holes in the bed and even diagnose the my engine problem. James knocked the trim and clip situation and Neil welded up my bed and then whipped out his digital thermometer to find that the #6 cylinder was running about 100 degrees cooler than the rest so apparently the plug or wire is bad since the compression on that cylinder checked out fine last week.

VA72C10 · 04-18-2010, 12:52 AM

Hey, that's what we call progress

scotts62 · 04-18-2010, 09:37 AM

sourkraut · 04-18-2010, 10:58 AM

scotts62 · 04-18-2010, 11:57 AM
