Awesome! How bad is the head gasket job on these?

@@TheShopBros it's bad I was hoping I was going to be able to pull the heads without pulling the cams but you have to pull the cams and everything around it can't get to the head bolts they are under the cams also I tried Blue devil head gasket sealer and followed all the directions to a t I got the $80 bottle the big one after that failed I tried the cheap head gasket bars leak stuff they called 12$ bottle also followed it to a team neither one of them worked so moved on to doing head gasket job the camshaft pulleys are extremely tight need to have a special tool made or some good idea to hold them in place

@@TheShopBros having the EGR delete might make things a little bit easier though just for the headache of all the vacuum

Dang man, I saw a kit online that had some sort of upgraded head gasket and head studs instead of the bolts and I was wanting to do that just for peace of mind lol. I’ve also read that installing headers can help with the head gasket issues

@@TheShopBros yes I would definitely go the stud route doesn't matter what going to have to do it a couple more times anyways might as well have studs you can reuse over and over again compared to the TTY same route I'm going to go is studs turns out this job has to be done pretty much every hundred thousand miles

Thanks for watching! Surprisingly enough my heat works perfect lol.

@@TheShopBros hello I did the egr delete and the engine runs smoother and I feel the truck running more agile as if I was running with a large load on the truck before egr delete, but now man what a difference, but the only complaint is that I see the truck running with ooor gas mileage. Did you Get the same issue low gas mileage after the egr delete?

@@zapz2101 Thanks for Watching the Video! Over time I’ve noticed a slight decrease in fuel mileage but mine wasn’t very drastic of a change.

I believe you do have to keep the MAF. I’m sure there’s some way to delete it but I don’t know how. But I do know they make adapters for the MAF and cold air intake

Hey Gary! Thanks for watching! I haven’t noticed my engine running hotter it stays right around the same temperature as before.

Thanks Josh, Great Video !!

😍😘

Yes that is correct. Mine was super brittle when I pulled the intake off it snapped

@@TheShopBros the correct name is tvv valve? Not able to find it online.

The full name is temperature vacuum valve

@@TheShopBros Planning on doing the same mod on my 89 3.0. My question is, after an EGR delete is there still a need to keep the mass air flow sensor on the intake? I want to replace with a K&N cold air intake but don’t know if I need to keep the mass air flow sensor after I do an EGR delete

@@TheShopBros that valve was already broke on mine. Is it critical to how the truck runs? That little suckered is not cheap lol. Iv done had this plenum off like 5 times chasing a fuel leak that just kept happening. Kept using used fuel dampers hoping they were good only to find the fuel spraying out still . Had to just go buy a Toyota one

Yota shop has them 👍
