Right on. Thanks! Figured both but was wrenching solo. Put it off for another day

Can anyone give me tips for finding top dead center for all 8 cylinders. In the process of taking the VC’s off and performing a leak down test

I’ve only seen that setup on prerunners or fully built rangers for the 4 x 4 travel. Straight axel is definitely the way to go for reliability in my opinion. Fun stuff

My truck does the same thing.

I had the same issue. IPR wiring(connector) to fix the idle fluctuations but as far as the miss I’m still working on it. Had one cylinder 50 pounds less than the rest after a compression test

Well finished a compression test today. All cylinders seem near 380-400 except cylinder 5 that is at 340-350. Added oil to the cylinder, turned motor over, installed compression gauge and I got a 400 lb reading. What to do? :priest::priest:

Still have?

I have nt done a leak Down test. But this happened right after I swapped the oil cooler

Will do. Any recommendations on a diy compression test

Interested. Just waiting on funds

Damn that’s sweet

I love that color. Clean truck

The fan seems to have no wobble. There’s no exterior coolant leaks and no sign what so ever that there’s oil in the coolant. When I installed the new oil cooler with new rear oil filter mount I had left in the front mount and just pryed the rear mount with cooler in. Possibly the o rings didn’t...

Can I diy check the oil cooler for any defects? I really want a diesel crew cab but it’s hard thinking about letting my truck go. I fired up the truck and it sounds down right dangerous. Love it. Except for the slight miss. The miss is weird because the truck passes a buzz test and a cylinder...

I agree. I think it’s the o rings in the mount closest to the radiator. But with the miss fire and the compression numbers I’m leaning toward selling and saving up for a crew cab
