  1. If it was me I'd swap it and see what happens but you need to figure out what fried the other is ecm. More than likely excessive AC noise from the alternator, if your truck can still start and run on the current setup I would make sure the alternator is in good shape before hooking up different ECM. If your lift pump is not coming on you may have to temporarily hot wire it so you don't fry your VP. And just in case wait for more responses
  2. 160ml/257km on the clock, average mpg is 17mpg. And somehow when doing my head gasket half of my valve guides were wore at that low of mileage . Your MPG seems high for me, I'm jealous. My best ever is 21mpg and that's all hwy empty with topper on and about 60 mph. I do drive a 5 speed 2.3l Honda Accord to work that gets solid 34mpg about150ml round trip and save half on fuel. By my calculations even with some time off and holidays, I'll drive to work about 230 times a year, and at the current gas prices it cost me about $10 to get to work in my car and $20 in my truck. So saving 2,300 bucks a year is pretty good in my book. I know some will argue that they can't afford the second vehicle, but I only paid $1500 for my Honda and if I can save $2300 that's no brainer to me. Keeps more money in my pocket to put towards the truck I know I got off a subject a little bit, my bad.
  3. Now that you mentioned it covers icon, I tried to remove that icon and was unsuccessful as it tries to enter menu. Makes since now thanks.
  4. Am I missing something, I thought we wanted a big gear so it was easy to access menu, I like mine.
  5. Well that sucks, sorry to hear that. Are you positive it's the engine and not ps or vac pump making it sound that way. Sometimes noises can travel and make things sound for what they are not. Maybe take serpentine belt off and start that again just to eliminate other things that spin. Do you think the debris from vacuum pump went through the engine and took a main bearing out. I kind of find it hard to believe, all that junk will have to go through oil filter first. Idk just thinking out loud here.
  6. Wow it's amazing how it just sheared like that like someone cut it, I bet you're right rubber is for absorbing pressure pulses like snubber on fuel guage. Maybe use cut off disk and go slow to cut it.
  7. Looks to me like an oring on one side and jic on the other. Make sure it's not cross threaded or something like that and both metal surfaces make contact, so once tight you shouldn't be able to wiggle metal line. Could be something wrong with mating surface too, they sell copper washers that are deformed to fit in jic to help it seal.
  8. Now makes me want to do same thing, I never liked how they put that stupid cup on bottom to collect salt and snag on crap off road. Look at that axle tube on how much material it has lost
  9. Mine is 5" not sure of brand po put it on, I don't have any real complaints about it. To each their own I guess.
  10. By looking at your map connection I wouldn't be surprised if you have other bad connections. I'd keep checking them all before I would do anything else
  11. I think his more talking about double pack on overloads, mine are like in picture above.
  12. Wow that's a huge drop for going 215 to 255, maybe my vp is still good all I need is some pizza cutters.
  13. If i remember correctly all if not most trailer tires are made in china, last few sets I had on my gooseneck I put truck tires on, some will argue that till cows come home. I never had a problem unlike my friend that had 2 blowouts with china tires.
  14. I'm hoping that's your problem, be hard to believe it made good contact.
  15. Oh man that plug is horrible, I went through my entire truck and made sure they were all good back in the day and stuffed dielectric grease on all female connectors before plugging them back in.
  16. That's it is can't laugh anymore, going to bad.
  17. I had it on my old work truck it was a gasser v8 3/4ton think it was 99
  18. I just replied in the other thread on mileage
  19. Unplug apps and see if it will idle normal, ecm controls idle, if it will go up it's ecm if not maybe something wrong with apps, ditch the factory style and get a timbo, no more problems.
  20. It may be your vp, you did mention shitty fuel mileage. It's usually a sign of weak vp, honestly I think mine is heading there too, I just can't seem to get 20 mpg unless it's all hwy going about 60mph. Average is like 16 and that's being nice. I did have white smoke the other day getting off hwy coming to stop sign in reved it up just before taking off again and big cloud of white smoke passed me, never seen that before and it never did it again.
  21. I hear you, both of my knees are in sad shape along with my back and neck and some shoulder pain and an elbow it kinda comes and goes anymore, or I can make it go away if I have few drinks then I feel like I was born again till next morning, got to love it, that's what makes it fun. That's why I like fishing so much too, I get to relax.
  22. Most kids these days wouldn't know what they are or why they would even want to do something like that, all they want is virtual reality.
  23. Yeah after I said it, I actually Googled it and there is quite a few different ones out there. But now that I mentioned app, won't take long before It'll be out there, cuz you know Google is listening.
