I need a grille guard like my old 2000 had.

 

Or a raging temper like mine when it comes to idiots and my vehicles. Meeting or not, I'd of found time to get even. And by even, I mean do something to satisfy my temper. :lol:

A girl at school last year backed her daddy's new f150 into my truck... Since it was on the back bumper I just glared at her and left. She wasn't even looking behind her. I should have yelled at her or something for being stupid I guess, but I figured it was good she bumped my truck instead of running over someone. Had a dream that night about repeatedly running my front bumper into the side of her truck yelling "how do YOU like it bi$&@!!!"

Received my Autocal from BlackBear. Since it had only been 5 business days and they are in CA and I in MD, I didn't really think it would be there when I got home from work. I was beyond happy to see it. I have done all the initial work on my laptop and made sure the Autocal's firmware is up to date. Now I need to figure out how to retrieve the stock tune and data log. Does it matter which order I do that in? Hoping to data log and send Justin an email by Sunday if not by tomorrow evening.

nope it doesnt matter. Just make sure if you data log first to clear that off before you pull the stock tunes from the truck. The memory in the autocal isnt the largest.

Cool... Thanks. I just pulled the stock tunes (I hope). Read E38 and it saved as E38_001 and Read T43 and it saved as T43_002, or at least thats what I believe it said. Should I plug the autocal back into my computer before data logging (since I pulled the stock tunes 1st) and if so will it prompt me where to put them? If not where do I save them to? Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread.

I create a folder and put them in there. Doesn't prompt you you have to move them

Thanks... I was going into the scan and tune icon and not the efi explorer utility. I had already created the folder. Got the stock eng and trans tunes on the laptop now.

You joke but some people do that stuff- I passed an older Caravan coming back from IL today that was hopelessly overloaded and through the tinted glass I could see what had to have been a child hopping around in the back amongst all the crap in the van.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
