Well then, roll away Jenah, "I" on the other hand will sit back and see why and how she responds before I too possibly enter into the soul cleansing. (Yesterday | post #5)

Because that's the way we do it over here. :) I do think it's a little strange to ask for other people to make your forum for you though. Kenna, I too live in Stacy, Howdy neighbor! (Tuesday Aug 5 | post #3)

Obama coming to Minneapolis Hilton for fundraiser

If this guy makes it into office we're all in big trouble, the man child won't even fly the American flag, he had it removed from the tail of his 747 jet he won't cover his heart while saying the Pledge for Christ sakes, how great it would be to have a Muslim running our country. Another thing, I wouldn't vote for this man if a woman was running against him, the women would win hands down, I'd rather deal with PMS than the anti-American SOB. (Tuesday Aug 5 | post #1)

Hey Dodge, I'd drop the exhaust down to eliminate the catalytic converter, it's probably plugged up, I see a lot of those trucks with he same problem your having. Drop the front y-pipe down a little to let exhaust escape there, by letting it leak out (breathe) you'll probably find that your power returns. Good Luck (Wednesday Jul 30 | post #1049)

Arthur M, sounds like you have battery connection problems or issues at the main fuse block under the hood, good place to start anyway. Check for corrosion or loose connections. __________________ __________________ ___________ Jdog780, this truck has a big problem with egr valves sticking open, when it does it causes the engine to die or idle so low that the amount of vacuum it's putting out isn't enough to operate the brakes vacuum assist, thus the hard pedal. There's many things that will cause this but it's a start, the valve in fact will stick open one day and cause the problem and not the next, kind of a tricky diagnoses. Oh and one other thing, if that mechanic was that far off I'd start looking for another shop. (Sunday Jul 27 | post #1045)

Ah, I have an idea, it sounds like the EGR valve was sticking open on decel, pretty common on these trucks. The valve is on the front of the engine and comes off pretty easy, the vale usually gets held open by a small piece of carbon, sometimes it blows through by its self and other times you can pick it out, the worst case would be to have to replace it, kind-a spendy. The valves go bad too, the valve has three solenoids, if one goes bad and hangs open the engine runs so lean on decel or sometimes idle that it will die. Now with that guess out of the way you must understand that there's other things that can cause the engine to die, if the engine runs smooth and don't miss then it's what we call an intermittent problem and could be caused by many other things, so don't get your hopes up too high, let me know if thats the problem.... Good Luck (Friday Jul 25 | post #1041)

East Bethel fighting birds likely face a grim fate

I agree, it's a little inhumane, if the good lord gave you only enough brains to come up with this sport then you have way bigger problems then setting up two chickens to kill each other. (Thursday Jul 24 | post #11)

No problem Kerri, I enjoy it also. It sounds to me like it isn't an oil pressure problem after all, when the engine dies the oil pressure will drop to 0, I see often that by the time people realize the engine died it's then they look down and notice all the lights are on and gauges are 0, as you may have done in this case. Now that leads us in a totally different direction. There's a whole lot of variables here, If you think back, did the engine die on deceleration? Were you in stop and go traffic or at what speed were you driving when it died? One other thing I tell my customers is "answer ONLY the questions that you're absolutely sure of the answer" other answers are very misleading and can cost you a lot of money. I know when this happens it seems like a very big deal and in some cases it is, but when any of you are explaining to your mechanic what has happened leave all the emotions out of the conversation, they only mislead us into thinking in the wrong direction.

The oil pressure switch is cheap, tough to get at but not that expensive. would the truck restart and run or didn't you try it? Some of these vehicles run off the oil pressure switch once it's started, Fuel pressure (pump) is initiated by the computer, when the key is turned on pump runs for 2 seconds, then once it starts the oil pressure is what keeps the fuel pump running, thus if the switch goes bad it'll start then die like yours. I'm assuming you have no major oil leaks and that the oil is full, right? (Thursday Jul 24 | post #1036)

Um, Buyer Beware? I don't have enough info, you drove it with no oil pressure? any engine noise while driving? If there was no engine tick or knocking then it's possible the oil sender is bad, If theres noise you have three days to return it, you'll have to check your state laws first though.

Women, what are YOUR top sexual positions?

Al, In most cases it's called hydro lock, but thats antifreeze in the cylinders and you'd know that by now, it usually happens like this, your buddy stands there over the fender and watches as you turn the engine over with the spark plugs out, when the engines crankes your buddy gets a face full of antifreeze. Now you didn't say anything about that happening so I assume the cylinders are dry. Maybe a weak starter motor, bad battery, connections something like that, what happens when you try to turn it over with the plugs in? Does it spin over at all, turn over slow, not at all or what?

Chevy S10/GMC S15-Sonoma: Problems & Solutions

Bernie, This is a good one, the only thing I can think of would be that when you put this trans back in that you might have left the ground wires loose on the bell housing, or maybe missed one when you bolted them back on. Something I would try is: leave the truck in park or neutral, bring the rpm's up to about where they would be at 55 - 65 mph, see if it does that thing with the lights, if they blink then it could be connection problems on the engine end. I'm not sure what you took apart when doing the other work but if it didn't do it before you worked on it then it's something you did, recheck your work, good luck... (Monday Jul 21 | post #365)
