    I'm pulling injectors

    Injector done Ok, I got #'s 2 and 4 pulled and swapped out. Man they were ugly...the tips were crudded up real good. I'm guessing the water issue I had must of done a number on them. It was right after that the idle issue started. I got some pics on how they looked I'll post. The worst part...

    I'm pulling injectors

    thanks for the link. I'm still freaking out on this and I'm only gong to swap out number 2 and 4...If the issue follows the #4 injector I think they'll be a call in to Bean for upgrades. 179k is about enough on the stock ones... Thanks for the help on this. This is my main vehicle and I'm...

    Next step

    Great... just what I need. I can't get it on the scanner until next week again and I've been running it this way for over a couple of months now. I can find the firing order but how are they numbered? 2,4,6,8 on the drivers side or passenger?

    Next step

    Ok, pulled codes again and got a P0272, #4 balance fault. I'm thinking it's most likely a dead hole. What is my next step? The injectors tested fine on the buzz test but I don't have a clue. Pull the #4 injector and see how it looks? Pull it and rebuild it? Sign me...mystified in Maple...

    203 Thermostat

    That's where I got mine. Wished I'd known about it earlier. I think the truck runs tons better since I got it installed. I was concerned about hauling hay over the Cascades but the needle hardly moves once it gets up to temp. The first thing I noticed is the cab will get to be 10* cooler than...

    Code P0196

    Great, thanks for the tip. What's interesting is that as you add power you can feel it smooth out.

    Code P0196

    You could move the pulley and the assy back and forth. I changed out the whole assy and the belt tracks straight and isn't forcing it off the drive pulleys any more. We're going to try and run the contribution test again this coming weekend. I have a 20 mile drive to his station so it should...

    Code P0196

    It's the original unit. I just pulled the belt to check if it was loose but everything seems really tight. There's no play in it at all. The issue is the belt is riding about a 1/4" to the front of the roller and the tensioner looks like it's "leaning" towards the fan. My brother in law is a...

    Code P0196

    Thanks for the part number. Can you replace just the roller or do you need to do the whole thing? I kinda had a feeling it had cooled off. Guess we'll try it again next week. Thanks

    Code P0196

    I still have the rough idle issue so we ran the tests today, buzz, contribution tests etc...and everything came out fine. The only code that was pulled was the engine oil temp sensor range/performance P0196. Can anyone explane it to me? I have no idea what it means and I can't seem to find...

    After market radios

    Thanks for the suggestions on shops that may have them. I tried a stereo shop and they told me they don't sell them cause I may want to trade mine for another better model (steal it is how I read his comments). I had the dash trim off up to the radio. I guess the way they mount them locks the...

    After market radios

    It's a Pioneer radio and the dash cover will not come away with it still mounted. I have the factory radio removal tools but they won't work on this one. The frame is clamped in (somehow) and the radio won't let go of it. I was going to use a couple of butter knives in the slots to see if they...

    After market radios

    The dash lights are all but out on my daughters Ranger and to pull the dash I need to remove the radio. Well it's not factory and aside from using a prybar to get it out, is there a way to remove it? I can't figure it out and the stereo shops want $50 to pop it loose. Any ideas?

    Issues and milage

    This is just a observation...I'm having idling issues that I haven't resolved yet (rough idle, truck shakes like you wouldn't believe then smoothes out once you get to speed) anyway, when I fueled up this morning I got the most mileage from driving intown that I've got over the 10 years I've...

    failed emissions

    Here in Washington we do a snap test for opacity. You floor it for a couple of seconds or so and let up. I make sure the engine is good and warm and if I have to sit in line I use the high idle so it stays warm. Did I miss which state you're in?
