    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    I put the 2 1/2 inch leveling kit on last week for clearance for bigger wheels. This week I added the 20 inch wheels.

    What did you do to/with your second gen today?

    Not today but yesterday I put a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit in the front. Got it aligned today. Happy with the results.

    muffler help?

    I put the Flowmaster 40 on my truck a couple weeks ago. Nice deep throaty sound outside and no drone inside. Its a 318.

    Radiator Smell Coming from Heater

    I used to get the occasional smell of coolant through the a/c vents also and thought it was my heater core. Turned out it was a hairline crack in the radiator where the tranny fitting goes in. When it was under load it would seep and the smell was sucked in through the vent.

    valve clatter at part throttle

    Just found out about this "wild vents" issue in these trucks that I'm having. Could the vacuum leak causing that issue be leaning out the engine causing the spark knock?

    valve clatter at part throttle

    I've never heard of injectors making noise before. What would they sound like? One thing I've noticed is when I get near half throttle is that the A/C goes from blowing through the dash vents to coming out at the floor. If this is vacuum operated could there be a vacuum leak in the dash...

    valve clatter at part throttle

    valve clatter at part throttle

    valve clatter at part throttle

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have someplace to start now. Excuse my ignorance with this question but I'm used to working my old hotrods with carburetors. Can you detect a plenum gasket leak with a vacuum guage or by spraying starting fluid around it to get an rpm increase if there is a leak?

    valve clatter at part throttle

    I just got a '99 with a 5.2 in it. The issue I'm having is valve clatter at part throttle. I thought it might have been bad gas at first but it's persisted for a couple of tanks now. It's not there at light throttle. Just at low to mid throttle. Once you push it to half throttle it goes away...
