LMAO.

Still remember the Motorcraft DKF-10 kit for an F-Code Mustang I had.

I still do that on my 66 f100

If that didn't work then you checked the timing chain.

Oh, yeah, I did a few of those myself back in the '70's and '80's. I remember more than one Quadrajet carb with a bad accelerator pump too. My dad always asked "Did you put a kit in the carb?" He wasn't always wrong!

Steve the farmer next to us used to raise turkeys and rats would abound. The only justice was when they would eat my freezers' wiring and pay the ultimate price. My '77 C20 350 has an alignment problem: it glides toward gas stations when nearby. You know 20 mpg: 12 on the freeway and 8 in the city. I would probably wish I had your gas mileage of your 6.0.

My 02 2500HD 6.0 gets a steady 24mpg and i am not light on the go pedal, meanwhile my 04 Cadillac Deville gets only 21mpg, makes no sense, lol

@@mattcat231 That's pretty incredible... My average is just about 15mpg if I'm going downhill both ways... LOL

@@mattcat231 Are you getting 24 mpg going 75mph? You must be living right!

@@steveo6631 My dad would add to downhill with the key off and over a cliff.

HC?

Hey Peter, I have sort of the same problems but they started after swapping the alternator. I put a voltage meter on the o2 sensors and they go from .5 to .9 except bank2 sensor 2 it just stays at 1 doesn’t move. I had the cat plug up on that side so I had them swapped with a set I had off a hemi charger but noticed the loud driver side lifters and something just not right shortly after they were installed. When I get on it it will cackle like a 64 impala with glass packs and rounded tip but ifs not coming from the exhaust but the motor! I also noticed the guy put the cat about 2 ft back further and it’s 2 inches away from that sensor now so maybe he got it to hot welding it ? Thoughts?

I just saw that video earlier today and thought the same thing 😆 Jasper engines 👎

it's likely more of a "ford" thing and them reusing very worn out parts. much more of the vintage GM stuff had stronger parts, which would last longer and through a rebuild or two. they knew the GM gearhead folks were more likely to modify and tune for more power, also much of it would have been corvette designed pass-downs. sometimes it makes sense to keep using the costly R&D and same manufactures in greater bulk quantity, than to design "chintzy" parts to cut costs, which often ends in negative returns.

@@notsureigaf Yeah it was dreadful I've never seen something so bad in my life

@@throttlebottle5906 Never knew that

Did the previous owner run the plugs over 100K miles? Did you have to heli-coil the spark plug hole or did you use something better? I feel for you! What a pain!

@@dogsplantscarsneatstuff176 I am not really sure, but I would bet money they were the original plugs. I bought the truck with 154,000 miles on it. It has about 190 on it now. I would have changed the plugs but the wires look pretty new (MSD). I will never know. It was a learning moment for me. From now on do a complete tune-up when buying a used car. I tried using a thread chaser but ended up using a tap. The tap was enough to clean out the hole without using a heli-coil. So far, so good...runs great with no codes. Fingers are crossed.

@@avasonsyn I am so happy your were able to tap it out instead of installing a heli-coil. That is really contradictory: high end plug wires with unchanged plugs.

Toyota AFAIK

Wait, what, Honda makes tape rodents hate? Must be infused with Ghost pepper sauce, but that would only work in the central and eastern states, we have some tough rodents in Arizona that would not bother them. :)

They are counterfeit plugs cause that came off Amazon which sell that crap

Take a look at the fuel trims and oxygen sensor activity like I did in the beginning of this vid :)

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics i will check that.

@@AP9311 Yes, check the fuel trims especially, if they are high (in the positive) it's more than likely lower intake gaskets leaking, best guess based on experience without seeing it in person. Also, I've seen them need to have the cam/crank correlation relearned to eliminate missing

@T.J. Kong yes but it attracts dust and dirt and eventually becomes a gummy crud, so take your choice, ha

Me also, NGK stuff on my 97 Grand Cherokee 4.0 & my 2 Early Gen Camaro's.

I was doing an internal leak diagnosis and repair that entails plugging the high pressure ports on a fuel accumulator (common rail) to eliminate injectors. You'd be amazed at how smoothly a big v8 diesel can idle with only two cylinders powering it.

Thank you for the kind words Roberta! This country is held up by hard workers like yourself. I've been to quite a few industrial plants in my last job and it's brutal! Hats off to you! 💪🙂

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics You're welcome, I sometimes laugh at the new hires after they quit from only working 2 hours, I tell 'em if you don't have an education it will only get worse, go to trade school or something.

What a great story Roberta, you are truly an inspiration!

Oh, the other automotive bad guy was at fault!

So far I have not found any better scanner than the ThinkTool Pros, especially for the price!

Genius !! Now this is the input I love to see in the comments first had situations that are real not just my friends truck did blah blah blah thank you sir I couldn’t figure mine out and I just installed a mechman alternator that has a smaller pulley but have. Not yet put on a shorter belt because it seemed good after moving the tensioner down a bit it had kind of a hard spot in it but stayed down. At first start tho it tossed it off and my dumb ass was sitting there looking at it like why isn’t it charging and why’s my temp rising then notice I could still read the name on the pulley becsuse it wasn’t spinning haha it had fallen off the fan pulley. I’m going to go install that new shorter belt rn and see what’s up thank tou

yeah lol

And didn't blow any fuses!

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics mindblowing. Like it wanted to die. But the truck doesnt look too bad overall.

Cool! Did you figure it out?

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics yes, APP2 (pedal position sensor) was dropping out. I'm surprised I caught it upon the test drive. It was dropping out super fast, If you blinked you missed it. So I graphed APP1 and 2 with the scanner. then it was alot clearer APP2 was dropping like crazy. I scoped it at the gas pedal then the pcm no dropouts. It looked great on the scope. When I went to unplug the pcm is when I found the problem the connector was seized in the pcm. I finally got it free with WD and time. I cleaned up best to my ability (green crusties) and that did the trick. The thing I dont understand is how it didn't set a code. The customer did state some times it would bing the light upon stalling with a red lighting bolt and others it wouldn't. It never set a code for me and it was clearly dropping out. It looked like a failing abs sensor when you get that quick glitch. If I didn't have a scope I wouldn't of been able to pinpoint it. After I found the problem I did notice a new Throttle body plugs coils, injector MAF and the customer stated a couple other things.

@@lovetolearn5253 Interesting. Never trust scan data though, Chryslers are weird, and scan data will show a regular pulse on APP2, even though it's not real. Always trust your scope. No codes and good scope signals says to me that the problem is still hiding somewhere :)

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics unfortunately it acted up again today but this time it threw a code and the red bolt of light came on. Good thing the customers didnt pick it up yet. It actually has 3 codesp0642 sensor reference low p1618 erratic p2122 app. I'll keep you informed. I'm glad you told me about the scan data thing. Its something to keep in the back of my head

@@lovetolearn5253 excellent! Now catch the glitch with your scope 👌👍

Actually they're good for nothing they're made by FRAM

Yeah, Oughtolite but don’t.

Junk. Had a new set in a v twin, and had one die after only 5 minutes of use

@@whatsnewonthemountain Comment of the day, I laughed hard and im still laughing, lol, oughtalite, lol

you couldn't pay me to put them in anything but a vacuum or heater hose as a block off

NGK Plugs and wires

Years ago they had Bosch platinums with a rebate and I put them every 80k miles in my 2002 lesabre. Never had a problem. This year at 230k I got rebates on delco iridiums from Napa and GM hope they turn out oK. I probably should have stayed with Bosch.

They can borrow the 92 Olds Silhouette Retro Dustbuster van haha
