    How I solved my Air Suspension Problem

    Yiu can install the compressor and valve block and test the system without the nitrogen, but it may void your warranty on the parts.

    How I solved my Air Suspension Problem

    Whenever you open the closed system to replace a component, you let some nitrogen out (even if you valve off the affected line) Unless you vacuum the system and replace with pure nitrogen, you will always have some moisture in the system.

    P0302 Cyl. #2 Misfire...Stumped

    1. Spray PB blaster on your valve cover bolts. Use enough so it runs down through the valve cover and hopefully gets in the threads 2. Engines not under load (i.e. in neutral) will behave differently vs with a load. For example, a few weeks ago, I got a random misfire code and the truck would...

    P0302 Cyl. #2 Misfire...Stumped

    pull the valve cover from the passenger side. locate the #2 intake and exhaust pushrods and rocker arms and check for excessive play vs the other 3 cylinders on that side. If you have excessive play...then either the lifter is shot or the lobe is flat...

    2012 5.7 Engine Failure

    I always try to save $ My suggestion is; 1. Pull the motor 2. Tear it down in your garage / shop (where it will be easy and not painful) 3. Assess the damage Who knows you may get lucky You have to pull the motor either way

    P0300 Only. Will Run Fairly Smooth at 3k RPM, but not below 2k RPMs

    Problem fixed Cause - broken valve spring on #5 intake Solution - spent $600 on parts, pulled the heads and did a complete valve job this weekend. Runs like a champ now. Local shop wanted $2100 to replace the springs on the driver side only

    P0300 Only. Will Run Fairly Smooth at 3k RPM, but not below 2k RPMs

    I've test several cylinders with 2 different compression testers, both of which will not hold a pressure reading (they drop to zero when the truck stops)

    P0300 Only. Will Run Fairly Smooth at 3k RPM, but not below 2k RPMs

    Testing compression now Might I add that the truck gave no indication of a problem. It started fine, drive 20 ft, then started violently shaking and died. It would restart sometimes, but could not stay alive

    P0300 Only. Will Run Fairly Smooth at 3k RPM, but not below 2k RPMs

    The lack of a specific cylinder misfire code and the fact that it smooths out at high RPM leaves me perplexed

    Lifter Knock

    Just because it has a tick doesn't mean the engine is toast. My 5.7 developed a tick around 150k. It now has 175k, still a slight tick but runs fine with no codes

    Try to lightly press your brakes when the sound starts. If the sound goes away, it is your brakes if not...keep looking.
