    Hi-Truck descrption-Advice?

    Thank you grave flower. Just glade I could help! Make sure you get a good set of wires Premium plug wires from napa are like 75bux they have a life time warranty there worth every penny. I would go with a set of motorcraft or bosch plugs. I really wouldn't replace you MAF sensor its...

    Hi-Truck descrption-Advice?

    The ticking could very well be spark plugs wires arcing in a certain rpm range. Where the energy they are transferring is too great for the wore out casing (on old spark plug wires) to hold inn. When it gets dark out. Fire up you truck and inspect and trace your spark plug wires. They should...

    Violent shaking when accelerating

    From what I'm told about converters they go bad gradually, but when they go you'll know(I've honestly never had one go bad on me yet). Your O2 sensor is after the converters so your computer should give you a check engine light, because the sensor will not get correct readings anymore. It will...

    to add to what cruiser64 said, Spray the maf several times form different angles. Make sure you buy MAFS CLEANER specifically. Its more expensive then brake cleaner or carb cleaner. Also be careful when you take your air inlet tube off. There is are wires connected to the sensor you dont...

    Violent shaking when accelerating

    let me know about the fuel filter.... and if you pass emissions i dont see a need to change the converters. I dont see how pumping the pedal will help..... thats the point of having a fuel pump because it pressurizes the system for start up. I would throw a fuel pressure tester on there for...

    Violent shaking when accelerating

    revodell Could be out of balance tires as well. It's cheap to get the balanced and couldn't hurt. If you still think is a fuel issue change your fuel filter and get a fuel pressure tester. Someone who remembers better correct me if I am wrong. I believe it needs to be above 62psi at...
