Has anyone driven one? How does it drive? I'd assume it drives closer to a Model-T than our trucks despite all the similarities (dodge, rc, manual)? I have the opportunity to get one cheap. It is 4x4. I go over the cascades here and there so the 4x4 would be peace of mind. I've read that the 4.7...

So I think I'm going to go with Billy boat mids w/cats. It looks like they offer ones that hook up to stock/shorties. However, another issue popped up. The "Lamp out" light flickers on and off. Typically I'd just assume that a light bulb is out somewhere. But, the other day the car alarm went...

I'll give those a try. Maybe it'l turn my stock engine into a "stroker"!

So I pulled the codes again and there are two. P0420 "Catalytic System. Efficiency below Threshold Bank 1" P0442 "Evaporative Emission System leak detected (small leak)" I'll get under it later this week to see if the shielding is loose or anything. I appreciate the input

Yep, I forget the code. I took it in to a shop because the code left the issue open (kinda like you said, could've been cats, 02 sensor, etc). They said it was the cat. Here's the thing, shortly after I bought it I noticed a loud rattling "in the dash" when under accel. I just thought the blower...

I'm not sure what to do in this scenario. I just bought this 05 QC with 80k. It has a plaque that says it 'was built with pride by DC Performance". I looked them up and it's been a while since they were in business. But I have a few options. I actually really like the decel burble/rumble/quiet...

I had to sell/trade mine in. Obviously I'm not one of the originals; only came here 1 1/2 ago. In the year I owned it I put in $5000 in repairs, and another ~2-2500 in headers, floor mats, miscellaneous stuff. In March I took it in because of that fluctuating idle issue (I posted Q's about it...

Word. That will be a great start at least. It's an absolute mess under there (95% my fault b/c of the oil filter seal, probably 100, though it squealed some before this). I'll get some wool, looks like local store has an idler pulley and belt- so I'll get to work sometime today hopefully...

For your viewing pleasure, here is the new squeal that just developed today. This is way more intense than the chirp I was describing earlier, but might be the same thing. Try not to throw up while watching - it was a little icy out tonight. https://youtu.be/5D8bWh835BA

Lol yeah. There were two batteries in it when I bought it last February.

Thanks guys. I replaced the TPS sensor and that is when the check engine light came on. For whatever reason the light wasn't on before I replaced the TPS. I also touched the battery cables on the driver's side battery to try to reset the computer. The passenger side battery has the negative...

Thanks for the tips guys. Well, I replaced the TPS and initially everything was good (literally about 5 minutes). I also changed the oil last night because it needed it. Today I drove the truck about 1/2 mile and suddenly something started depressurizing with a spraying sound and then the check...

Thanks Wifey! Definitely need it lol. Yeah, 250 seems pretty low, but I wanna say it has idled ~500 -550 for a while. I'll go by autozone tomorrow. Hopefully that is all it is and it'll be rolling by tomorrow night. I appreciate the help!

Hey I've got an issue while idling. Two days ago I took it through an automatic car wash with under carriage wash. The next day the volts started oscillating at idle and it almost sounded like it didn't have enough fuel. Is it possible the wash did something to the fuel pump, or is this an...

Awesome, thanks man. Doesn't sound like too much. I've just read of inner fenders melting, anything plastic really. With belangers I just need 02 extensions and oem gaskets right? I'll get a tune afterwards, probably.
