My trucks been down for a week and im having major width drawls. I dont get how some of you guys can let your truck sit for weeks on end!? maybe its cause im in a samurai with a total of 30hp, crappy radio and no top till the truck is fixed but man i miss my truck :(. tomorrow i get to find out if i bent a rod or got a stuck injector but will still be another week till i can fix it (if its an injector).

im giving out free hugs for today only :hug::hug::hug::hug:

You are getting desperate Brian. I knew Ruben screwed up big time when he forgot to buy that blow up doll for you. I was going to mark the red X on it. I asked Ruben where it was and he couldn't remember. I haven't seen it in years.:roflmao:

I wish I could I could let mine sit. I'm looking for a gas sipping commuter car. I would rather park it than drive it 8 minutes and shut it off for 3 hours at school.

Quite a few of us have been there before. Its the price we pay.

You may not like it, but sometimes you just have to grin and bear it.

Fuel is 4.20 a gallon.... Gas is 3.80, the res rocket only has a 11 gallon tank & gets 31mpg. Not a hard decision for me. Probably why my 04' only has 68,000 miles on it. I think it's worse when you can't drive it then when it's your choice not to drive it. Anywho sorry your truck is down hopefully it's just a injector.

It's the worst feeling. Mine has been down going on 18 months:( I really didn't expect this motor build to cost this much but it's like when you start there is no end in sight lol. Now that it's all built all I have to do is get the turbos in and I'm ready to roll!!

I hope you didn't bend a rod and that it's just an injector.

yeah, i dont mind drivin the samurai and gettin 30mpg, its the fact i know i cant hop in the truck on the weekend and go cruise. Ive jsut never had it sit for so long before. its always sat for a weekend at most so its jsut kinda wierd to me to have her not drivable.



Whats wrong with it?

Cyl 5 is knockin/clacking and has a balance rate of +13 and its blowin white smoke. turn injector 5 off and it runs like it should just on a miss.
