pics of the 01 i just picked up

[juddski88]

it has one not-so-great injector, balance rate test shows a 4.8 in D. the tailgate is slightly bent. smokes a light blue haze at idle and when throttling it, can't notice it when driving. 150K miles. fuel gauge works intermittently and throws Fuel Level Sensor Circuit code. i figure it's just a loose wire or something easy. the smoke- i wouldn't doubt it's valve seals. unless the oil pump putting out too much pressure would cause this (40 at idle and as soon as pedal is applied it goes to 60-75 and stays there till full throttle and then it goes full bore to 80)?

on edit: KAT, can you enlarge these? they are dieselplace links and i can't figure it out

 

[maine04max]

btw where is chesterfield? im in kennebunk maine ,,,,,, nice to meet some guys somewhat local

is this Foster, or is this another Mainer? Chesterfield is in the Berkshire Mtns in Western Mass. very small towns, no gas or fuel for a half hour, decent snowfall, lots of coyotes to use as target practice

 

[maine04max]

lmao target practice . My name is Craig . lots of coydogs here ,,, about once a week ill see one in the back yard here

 

[juddski88]

hey Craig, Kennebunk is a nice area, my family had a camp in Lincoln for 20 yrs right down the street from BadMax (chad shorrey), so i have spent some time up there and down on the coast for a few days at a time. if you go to Freyeburg Fair this year, the owner of the 04 GMC IronHyde should be there pulling again, i'll be gone.

 

[maine04max]

so you dont own Iron hyde ? you said you will be gone or going??? btw what day of the week do they do the pulls? Id love to meet some guys from here

 

[juddski88]

Freyeburg is usually on the last sunday. I dont own IronHyde, my friend Aaron Bauer does and I do all the work on it with some help from a few of our friends who have more tools than I. I will be deployed by July so i can only make the spring pulls this year, but Aaron and a friend of ours who is a mechanic will probably go to all the fall pulls they can.

O yeah, this 01 will be my DD and hauler for Iron-Hyde, and drag racer once in a while. I want take rear leafs out and put in coilovers/airbags and 4 link and still be close to stock ride height. it will stay stock for a while.

[Dzlnut]

Looks to be in pretty good shape.

 

[juddski88]

it is in very good shape, i had people telling me "why would you buy a truck on ebay that you havent seen in person or driven?" all i would say is, "just wait" i would have still gotten it if it didnt run, it was a good price and i know i can fix it.

 

[mytmousemalibu]

Welcome to "Club LB7" :rofl:

Nice grab!

 

[juddski88]

Thanks Chris, ya Lb7's are the best, woohoo, :rofl:......haha, j/k. i am in for a treat with this 01, i am used to 04 electronics and i have a feeling this will cause me to rethink some things. anyone know why the oil pressure is like a lightswitch in these things?

 

[Whitetail Addict]

Congrats on the steal

Looks like a nice truck.

 

[whitetrash21]

01's seem to show higher oil pressure, on the guage at least, than later model trucks. Your sounds normal. Nice find.Puller?? Racing?? Another DD??
