    Moonlighting Auto Tops carry the fabric and they will send samples to match up to your existing color. If the condition is good enough. You can get it off without damage and use 3M adhesive after you scrap it clean.

    Odds of plenum gasket again.

    Its very simple to check if the gasket is bad by looking down into the throttle body with a light and seeing if oil is in there. I just did mine a few months back with the upgraded plate and gasket. I have a 99 as well just with the 5.2/318 motor. It sat for a long time due to personal issue...

    Drips out tail pipe like running nose

    Changed out the TPS and it did help some with the shifting but after interstate run the check gauges light blinked a couple of times so I watched it but gauges were fine so I searched up and it said either low oil pressure or bad battery. Thought that was odd and oil pressure did as it was...

    Drips out tail pipe like running nose

    I have been driving it back and forth to work which is about a good 20 minute drive. Seemed to be shifting long 1st and 2nd so I dropped it off at the transmission shop and he said it was shifting fine and he said no codes came up. I replaced pretty much everything from sensors , Part with...

    Looking for some ideas on smoking issue

    Sorry for so many threads but things are moving forward so with positive results. Bought kit to replace all the sensors , spring and main harness in transmission and its a lot better but has small issues that I believe will be corrected with some band adjustments and TV cable adjustment from my...

    Looking for some ideas on smoking issue

    I have been keeping it topped off with water but will be draining it down for coolant soon. It has calmed way down on the smoking issue to where its more light then anything. Just a lot of issues to work through till I feel more comfortable. The transmission is my biggest hurdle at this moment...

    Has anyone used a head tester kit?

    Hopefully get back on the truck this weekend at the latest. What smoke I do see is very light at this point. I mean you can barely see it during the day. My guess from what test I have done. Everything looking good. Doing the compression test will help out a lot as well.

    Has anyone used a head tester kit?

    I have a compression check tool so all I should have to do is disconnect the coil and do one spark plug removal at a time and connect the tool. Motor runs great and oil pressure hits 60 when started and drops after its warmed up to around 40 and stay there till you accelerate that the pressure...

    Has anyone used a head tester kit?

    I spent most of the day changing out the components in the transmission with the kit I bought. I didn't see any smoking either when I drove it or when it was idling today but when its dark out , you can see a light smoke in the tag lights. Weird to me. I'm going to drain the radiator down and...

    Has anyone used a head tester kit?

    I replaced the parts today from the kit into the transmission. Seems sluggish when taking off but seems to be shifting with no slipping. It was a short test run since it was about to rain. I may have to adjust the front bands again since I replaced both sensors, spring, overdrive electrical...

    Has anyone used a head tester kit?

    Some update info. I did the radiator test twice. First time seemed a tad green so as instruction said , did a second and it didn't change to green or yellow but remained blue so I am thinking the head gaskets are good. I also didn't see any bubble action either. I let the truck fully warm up to...

    Has anyone used a head tester kit?

    I thought about the vacuum myself. I know the head gaskets were replace years ago and heads were fine but I'm curious if sitting for around 5 years may have made them brittle enough to leak? Hopefully not since that would mean tearing the motor back down again after all the work I did with the...
