Few Problems

[JMan689]

1) When i accelerate after the truck has been warmed up for a bit and i've been driving around it'll rattle around 2-3k and the check engine light will go on, after i back off on the gas it'll go off maybe 5-10 minutes afterwards.

2) Sound coming from i think the front wheels, my friends are saying it sounds like my centercaps might be lose and rubbing....but i dont have them on

3) Yay bird chirp, only untill it warms up though (yes i could search through the forums but since im on the subject of problems)

4) ABS issue - it activates when it shouldn't, like if im barely on the brakes coming to a stop and then the ABS light will go on for awhile then go off.

#1 is either MAF sensor, or O2 sensor.....go to a parts place that can scan for codes, and see what it says....MAF cleaner is cheap, and your X probably needs it anyway.

#2 It may be the bearings....pull them, inspect, and re-pack or buy new as needed.

#3 is DEFINTLY one of the bearings in your serpentine tensioner. I would replace BOTH the 'spring', and the 'fixed' pulleys. I ignored the chirp and had a nearly catastrophic failure 60 miles from home....luckily I knew the town, and where the NAPA was....$98.00 later (`cause I had to buy tools too) I had the $30 tensioner, and a $45 belt...and a new tool set...had I done it BEFORE, I would only be out $30, as I could have used my old belt!

#4 While inspecting your bearings on issue #2, clean the magnetic ABS pick-up, and fins on the back of the rotor....and while you are there, bleed the whole system. of old fluid...and pump in new DOT3 fluid
