Well IT has the 2.3 in it. IT runs rough, someone has put new wires on it and im thinking they switched em up since there's 8 on there. Any known problems with these trucks? Its also a 5 speed.

Benn sitting since 09. It has Almost 184K on the clock.
Runs rough, You call tell when you take one of the plug wires off its missing. So Im agreeing with mystic it jumped a tooth. Yay!!
Hopefully an easy fix!Comment

250.00 sound good?Comment

Haha. It'll be my beater, because my 84 C10 gets like 8mpg. But Turned out it was 180 out. Lol. But it runs better. Probably needs plugs and oil change. Got an exhaust leak by the header some where. So it's loud!Comment

I assume you drained the 3 year old gas and added fresh gas?Originally posted by BttleFedC10 View Post
Also, if it jumped a tooth on the timing belt that wouldn't just make it miss on one cylinder.

Well when i took out the plugs, number 3 on intake side looked like this.
Looked like the piston came up and ate the plug?Comment

Put a new timing belt, new plugs, new oil, new gas. And it runs fine when rpm is up but at idle it sounds like it has a big cam. Could it be vacuum leak or something else? Its got a big exhaust leak to. Would that cause it run rough at idle?Comment

Pretty sure it has a dead cylinder.. Number 3. Or the rocker arm is off or busted valve. Ill have to pull the valve cover tomorrow.Last edited by BttleFedC10; 02-27-2012, 06:30 PM.Comment
