ok guys here goes .i been thru the wringer with this truck lately and have replaced alot of parts .
new head gaskets
new upper plenum gaskets
new intake gaskets
new water pump and gaskets
new timing chain,new guide,new gears,new tensioner
new timing cover gaskets
new radiator
new hoses
new plugs
new belt tensioner
flush and fill trans and new trans pan gasket
all new fuilds
now it starts bogging down on me .doesnt wanna hold idle under load .idle will surge up n down ,truck stalls sometimes .
wont pull out sometimes .
once you get it rolling and the rpm`s are up it runs good .come to a stop and off the line it wants to stall,bog down ,idle bad .
but once it kicks in ,runs good for a bit .
i just pumped about 1200.00 dollars in repairs into this 2000 4.0 ohv engine in the past 2 months .135,000 miles on it
its killing me .needs something new every week lately .and it costs me hundreds every time.
today i cleaned the aic valve
cleaned the air sampling sensor in the airtube
still acting up .
any ideas run them by me .gonna go look at the egr valve right now .then might pick up some ignition wires next .
this thing is killing me ...help!!!
ps-wheres the fuel pump?in the tank?
