Hi guys and gals.. I am new here but have heard great things, I just broke down and bought my dream truck and i think i bought a bit of a lemon. I am financing it so I'm stuck with it so i am gonna fix it, just don't know where to start. so here goes.....
Problem 1. low oil pressure showing on gauge and the light comes on at idle
(when you rev it up a little it goes out but gauge still shows a little low) "ie Below 40"
Problem 2. the idle dances around a bit and sometimes is rough.
Problem 3. after a short trip the other day it was losing power like it was backfiring or running out of gas but it was full, when i got it home (barely)
there was fuel driping from the fuel tank and i reached up and it was wet up by the big circle thing on the left of the cap on the top of the tank.
4x4 doesn't work either at the moment but i think that's cuz of a vacuum leak issue. I don't know if all these issues are related or could be caused by the notorious plenum gasket issue but i have the kit on order from hughes and was looking for some educated input from some friendly people such as yourselves... Thank you for your time and I would appreciate any help on these issues, seems how I'm stuck with a monthly payment on it for 2 years regardless i might as well learn something from this debacle...
Sorry for being long winded...
