As for running the engine at a lower temperature, this used to be the standard in old hotrodding days but I don't know if modern engines will react well to a lower temperature, even if tuned. Have you done some research on this? Do you use the truck in winter? That lower temperature will also result in lower heater performance.
Damn well that was unfortunate brother, at least it occurred in the driveway. I went a week having to crawl underneath and switch gears by hand [emoji58]Paul Bell said:This afternoon, backing into me driveway the transmission slipped into neutral and the shifter moved freely when I tried to shift. I assumed the shifter cable end popped off the transmission linkage, I've experienced this before.
Whatever parts that are supposed to be in the end of the cable is gone, now it's just a stepped hole. I drilled and tapped the transmission linkage ball stud for a 8/32 stainless bolt, locked it in and cut it's head off. Put it all back together and installed a washer and nylon insert lock nut and all fixed.
BUT, why the heck was there fuel dripping by the rear end??
My driveway is sloped downwards and I had the nose jacked up. The gas tank is full and is leaking around where the fill tube attached. It appears to have some epoxy or sealant around it, maybe a previous repair.
heeheehee, my E-brake doesn't work, I needed somebody to grab my 747 chocks outta the garage. I can't imagine driving around and needing do get under & do it.Capote said:Damn well that was unfortunate brother, at least it occurred in the driveway.

Yeah, just my luck. I'm not gonna go through all that, I'm gonna let the tank get low, pull the tire, scrape the old gunk off and apply my own new gunk.Mooseman said:That is a defect on 2002 and some 2003 EXT/XL trucks. There was an extended warranty that covered this but has since expired. The previous owner of my truck tried to fix it with epoxy but it didn't work. I was lucky and had it done by the dealer just before it expired.
If I were you, I'd scour the boneyards for an EXT with a newer tank.
Been there, done that and ripped the T-shirt. I had to replace the A/C evaporator so the whole HVAC had to come out.
But, IIRC, there is only one actuator that is partially blocked by a metal brace, which can be cut out to allow the actuator to be removed. don't remember which one but it's on the passenger side. I would not have gone that far for an actuator. Evaporator I had no choice.
Engineers. Hate them!
