    Even more problems. Is my FICM fried?

    Hey guys, we've been battling some gremlins in the truck after a HG and injector job (see my previous posts). Well, I think all my issues in the previous posts are due to a failing FICM because the truck went into limp mode this weekend and we had to get it towed. Truck started, but only ran on...

    Hard Start

    Hey guys, I just got the truck back together after doing HGs and injectors. Truck started fine for the first few test idles, put it through its first WOT tests last night, ran like a dream. Started the truck this morning no problem, went to work and it started fine again at the end of the day...

    Think I screwed up. Gouged the head. Am I screwed?

    P1711 Insight

    Hey guys, truck just recently popped a P1711 code. The trans has been acting a bit funky lately, such as going into reverse really hard, and downshifting hard, both when the trans gets hot, but when it's cool it shifts smooth. Weird thing is, when the code finally popped the truck was running...

    Fuel Issues. Truck is down.

    Hey guys, I'm having some fuel issues and wondering if you can help narrow it down. I first noticed a loss of power anything above half throttle. It would completely fall on its face. Same feeling it gave me when my lift pump went out a couple months ago so that was the first thing I checked...
