Finally finished replacing all the wear and tear parts on my front end. Gotta love gm! Everything but the wheel bearings and shocks made it to 316k miles. Now I just gotta grease it up and get an alignment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Funny thing is, my wheel bearings are still original to the truck (345k today). Might replace them this weekend with my new lift

Letting mine rest easy in the garage so it won't turn 12k before its second birthday tomorrow...

12k in two years? I just put on 15k in 6 months, and that not even a lot haha

Went to my local TSC and picked up 50-40LBS bags of wood pellets. Its the first time I've had that much weight in the back of my truck 2000 LBS.

I remember doing the same thing but that's back when I had my old springs and they were basically flat before any weight was put on em haha

I know that feeling. I've gone 3 months with my truck on stands, that was killer

I looked at my exhaust. I want to lose the last foot or so. Trying to find the best place to cut it.

You saying you wanna dump that exhaust??? Cause just before the axle is an great place if you have some true duals!

I don't want to before the axle, just right behind the rear hanger. I thought about doing it like Blackout's.

Bled the brakes, greased the chassis, and jump started it to get it cranked for the first time in 2 weeks. Got an alignment scheduled Wednesday but I'm scared to drive it. It'll go in a straight line but its WAY out of spec.

      Fluid Change Questions

      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?
