My truck is running like a dog
Im not sure whats going on im going to do a tune up this weekend and run some Seafoam thew her. its just been running like its tired of something. Before when I hit it at 30 it would go like a bat out of hell. But now it just kind of dosnt sound like it want to get out of bed or something. The blue smoke thing went away. IDK. maybe its tjme to call Banks and get a new motor. Poor girl

Clean the MAF, the TB, and check the PCV and plugs (maybe check the gap too). The warmer weather will take a toll on her performance wise. Maybe its time for some upgrades? I noticed it already with mine. I had it dialed in perfect and then I go to mash the gas Monday during the day when it was in the 70s and it just didn't have the ***** it did before. I had to dial it in again and improved it, but it still ran better in the colder weather.

Yeah im going to change the plugs this weekend and I want to clean the maf also. What plugs do you guys suggest? Your so right about the weather it has been getting warmer no 70s yet. I think it might be ready for a tune also. I cleaned my K/N a few nights ago.

RE: My truck is running like a dog
We havent come up with a toltal yet but its up there if I get it ill keep it forever and probably be buried with it and put it in everything I drive for the rest of my life. I cant do it till I finish this job up here because my other cars are at home and I need something to drive. Plus I dont have a garage here. So if I get it it wont be for a few months.
