yeh ....shes beenn a thirsty truck lol

 

A bad manifold heater
can blow the fuse links. an drain battery charge......coul this be the prob

 

Sure could cause problems, no doubt.

 

Does it blow any white smoke? It sounds like a fuel problem to me...maybe your lift pump has **** itself.

 

NO SMOKE SO FAR AS IVE NOTICED BUT IT DOES MAKE A SOUND KINDA LIKE COFFE PERCOLATING oops sorry caps lock.....and when i shift the gears there is no difference between 2nd and 3rd and i can feel it shift into first only periodically...i put more diesel conditioner in and took to the freeway yeserday and actually got it to drive normal for about 10 minutes after it made a loud whoosh sound but i couldnt get it to do it again

 

sounds to me like she gas a bad boot and is loosing boost ?

 

I was thinking clogged air filter, but a boot would make sense. That wouldn't cause the stalling she had earlier though...

 

stopped stalling after i changed the air filter...sooo where do i find this boot

 

rubber boot conecting all hard pipes to turbo to intercooler to intake check all of them (4) and clamps any air leak will cause lack of boost and you go know were fast.
on second thought when my boot blew it puked smoke and i had to pull over..lucky it was right on top and i saw it..
if your boot is leaking it should smoke..and not drive but 20-35 mph
depending on how bad leak is..?

 

Or leaky intercooler either way the 94-96 at least auto's are gutless wounders.

My dad hit a deer in his 95 auto on his two hour drive home from work one day insurance wrote the truck off but it damaged the intercooler he said it pushed black like no tomorrow climbing the mountain since he was in the other valley over from us and went through half a tank but only covered about 60 kilometers.

Do you have a boost gauge?

 

no boost guage

 

Sweet, I guessed right about the stalling!

Have you found the boots? To figure out if they're leaking, try splashing soapy water on them...you should see/hear air leaking...HTH

If it's any consellation, my 96 is a sluggish hunk of steel...for now...

 

You all totally rock! i've never been so happy to get a speeding ticket in my life hehe ! it was all of the above ....this baby's previous owner sure neglected it but thanx to all of you i wont! kudos guys

 

Shoulda bought the 215hp standard.

 

I had a hard enough time finding a decent 12v period that wasn't over $10k...prices for these things in our neck of the woods is ridiculous to say the least
