on my 5'3  the throttle body bard is below.   this video right here is my exact truck and he installs the center line of his can to the throttle body and the non-center to the side of the motor .  which was how I originally did it and now its opposite

Just to be clear, the throttle body barb should be near the top right (as you look from the front to back)

No on my 5'3  the throttle body barb is underneath the throttle body  this vide is identical to what I had before I swtiched, you will see he installed the center of the can line to the TB amd the non center to the side of the motor

Well then I guess I gave you some bad advise, damn I’m sorry. See the pic mine is on top

And if you look closely below the screwdriver you can see the dirty out to the center port of the can.

Yeah I have a port below my TB which is back to the center line and the other port is where I’m pointing.  I’m hoping that the can wasn’t tight and that threw the code

Yep, you had it right, I hope it was just a vacuum leak. Still feel like I sent you on a wild goose chase.

Great choice! Just installed another one on a 6.2L. Man such great looking pieces.

 

After one tank of gas at approximately 300 miles (truck has 1500 miles) I drained and collected 0.02 quarts (just a little over 1/2 ounce) of condensation, some oil, etc.

I just ordered the dual valve kit with a CSS from UPR as well. I’m going to run a can of CRC GDI valve cleaner through the intake after the install for good measure.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?
