redwolf624 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 that's what i'm gonna end up doin, i have no tac meter, are there any "after market" carbs i could put on my truck or just a 2se? Redwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwolf Honestly, with a little bit of ingenuity, i think you could make any two barrel fit. My dad has a motorcraft 2 barrel off of his old dodge 318, and I'm working on making an adapter plate to bolt it to the tbi intake that was on the s10 engine before i swapped it. I'll let you know how it goes..but for ready-to-go aftermarket, the 2se is all i know of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 My stock radio didn't work when I got my truck.

I replaced a couple fuses and suddenly it started working... i tried that earlier today, didn't work, pulled out the multimeter there's power goin to the radio wires, i'm guessin the radio's dead, also, my wires for everything else don't have power to the cig lighter don't work, inside lights don't work, fog lights don't work, anyone got a diagram of the electrical wires?

Easiest way to dry floor is to pull the seats and carpet, seperate carpet from the carpet pad, and thow away the pad. i'm gonna throw it all away, i'm gonna paint the cabs tub with an oil based enamel, kinda like bedliner but without the roughness. i also gotta nother question, what vacum line can cause the driver to do a gas pedal dance when the engine is cold and cause it to go from a half a tank of gas to E in an hour?

mpace6a Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 On the carb...or really anywhere since the carb is the main vacuum hub for the entire engine...I'm missing a bunch of vacuum stuff, don't even have the smog pump hooked up, lots of stuff taped off, etc, and i drive 10 miles/day, and a tank lasts me almost 2 weeks. so i have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwolf624 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 update: i've been lookin under the hood a lot at the vaccum lines and i can't find a hose that's faulty, i'm startin to think there aint a vacum leak but somethin that could act like one, i've also noticed that when drivin the truck it'll "hit hard" even at idol, i've adjusted the vavles but that only made it a little better, i don't care what ya get a 2.8 v6 outta, it should not run rough and act like it's hittin hard so any ideas?
