oh yes sorry ive been a little busy with school.
turns out it wasnt the gas, just a coincidence that both our trucks had the same symptoms.
after messing with it for a bit i started to go back to the basics and found that my timing some how jumped 20degrees. so i retimed it and its been running great since, still dumb founded on how the timing jumped.
also due to my stupidity, on sunday my passenger side wheel bearing grenaded its self and left me stranded 10 miles from home. i forgot to repack my wheel bearings after the super wet and muddy wheeling trip a week and a half earlier. the inner part of the bearing practically welded it self to my passenger side spindle, chisel, torch, vice-grips, nothing could get it off, so i ran to the pull apart in tacoma and got a spindle off an explorer for 4 bucks.
sad sight first truck to get towed home.
and what i saw when i pulled the rotor off
this weekend i plan to start working on my front bumper again, and fix our old 1975 volvo 164 so i can sell it and use the money for a new welder or plasma cutter
