[QUOTE="Big Calo, post: 684063, member: 765"] Ok, got another issue with another truck. 1999 late, CCSB, auto, 2WD Friday night, batteries died, and as a result took out the alternator. Didn't discover the alternator until Monday morning. Drove the truck Saturday no issues, didn't drive Sunday, batteries completely dead Monday am. Hooked my other truck up to it, jumped it off, and let it charge some, then went on to work. Had to unload my trailer, and left the truck idling, and it died, batteries dead. Put a charger on it for a couple hours, and it started and idled fine, but I turned it off, not wanting to burn up the alternator, and let it trickle charge all night. Come in this morning, fire it up, and it romps real bad, and about 4 of the injectors are clacking real loud. Rev it a little, and then it smooths out. I did drive the truck home after work, SES light stays on all the time, real quiet not near normal 7.3 idle, has a miss, and will blow smoke like crazy on high chip setting, just trying to pull itself up a hill. Tonight I tried to crank it for the video, and it would just click. Did that twice before it cranked over. Don't know where this came from. Ran perfect Saturday after I put the batteries in Friday night, then Monday nothing. Also if I have it in gear, and slip it into park or neutral, it will rev up to around 1000, then slowly come back down. Tying to get a video to upload to YouTube. Could I have taken out a UVCH? Maybe it running until the batteries died damaged the IPR? Sounds really like a HPO issue? Might be able to meet my cousin and put AE on it tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
