so i was driving my soon to be truck at work yesterday and i noticed that when i first started it and put it into drive it wouldn't go anywhere... like i had to get the rpms up to 3,000 for it to start moving... hardly... and its not the cold cause it was like 85*... so idk ny ideas??? and even when i turned it off and then 10 min later moved it agian it did the same thing... but then after about 2 min of ideling.... if was fine and had LOTS of power and nothing was wrong..
thanks

 

that use to happend with my truck when it would sit a few days with out running then had the tranni rebuilt and a new tq and it dont now. but if it does it even ten mits after you start it again idk maybe a bad tq?

 

trannys screwed!

 

alright... whats in ur opinion would be the best tq for the money???i dont have much to work with. but oh well.. but my parents did say that if i want to get a 5 speed for the truck when the stock tranny goes they would help pay for it!!

 

stupid question but , did you check your trans fluid level ?

 

yeh i serviced all 5 trucks today.. uk check oil, air filter, trans fluid, n everything was right were it should be.. idk theres a lot of white smoke that comes out when i try n move the truck when it runs crappy... could it be that theres not enough fuel and to much air?? the first thing im gunna do is move afc, star wheel, and fuel plate full foward .. n see if that does nything to help it..

 

eehh . . . TC maybe shot or about to be anyway . Georand has em' for about 1250.00 , I wouldnt do the fuel mods till you get the trans issue resolved , them extra hossies will surely finish killin it .

 

damn thats a lot.. haha but yeh ill start saving my pennies!!! haha.. i'll try ebay n craigs list.. n if nothins there... i'll just get a new one.. so is it easy to get at the fuel pump to move all the stuff full foward? i was lookin at the truck 2day... n it looked a little confusing haha like the turbo silencer is REALLY EASY but to get at the pump it looked like u gotta move a bunch of stuff... so ny advice??

 

I havent done my fuel plate yet so IDK about that , Ive read alot and been talking to the guys here and it really doesnt seem that bad , I will probably tear into it this week . I did my star wheel in 5 minutes , its pretty simple . I still have the factory auto so I'm waitning till I change out the trans to do much more with the fuel . I may slide the factory plate full forward before then though

 

doing the fuel plate and afc housung is easy,all you have to do is remove the four bolts out of the afc and the plate is right there,loosen the two bolts,slide it foreward,and you're done.or remove the two bolts,change the plate,and you're done.
