Adam,

Check all the connections and make sure none have slipped off. Also, make sure they are not touching something nearby and shorting. Lastly, check for any corrosion preventing them from making good contacts. I had the same problem about once a year and I usually resolved it by what I described for you to check.

I didn't know what your truck sounded like before, but I could hear a tad of a choppy idle.

You got the Harland-Sharpe 1.7's right? Was looking at getting some for my truck..Wonder how much I'd see considering my truck only has CAI & Exhaust?

Like mf360 said it's a nice mod, one of the better ones that I've done, I would say do it, when you can,
btw I have a 52mm throttle body that I would sell you , as long as you gave me your stock one as part of the deal.
G-Man

Misfit
01-17-2012, 03:49 AM
Stock TB just bored out? What kinda deal you got in mind?

And you forgot to mention your exhaust lol

mf360
01-18-2012, 01:06 AM
Yes, I have the 1.7 HS rockers.

I would jump all over that TB Gywn is offering you. It's one of my personal fav mods. I lobbed of 0.5 when I installed Superchips and a 52mm TB when I first bought my truck.

Misfit
01-18-2012, 01:32 AM
Is it a stock one just worked out? or what? And whenever he tells me what kinda deal he has in mind, we'll go from there.

Misfit
01-19-2012, 06:01 AM
Where you is G-man? Tell me bout this TB you got.

mf360

Mike,

Did you ever hear back from Gwyn on the TB?

If not, you might want to shoot him a text. I can if you need me too.

G-Man
01-28-2012, 01:58 AM
Mike,

Did you ever hear back from Gwyn on the TB?

If not, you might want to shoot him a text. I can if you need me too.

I offered it to him for $100 and his stock one, so I could keep one, for a backup.
but then he told me about the other stuff his truck needs to be safe, ball joints & stuff, I advised that he fix those things first & I would just hold on to the TB till he is ready for it.
G-Man
P.S. Someone had one on here for $120 shipped, so I think my price is fair.

Misfit
01-28-2012, 09:17 AM
Yeah, it's on the " To get list".

Hey, Gwyn, I never did text you back about that o2 sensor thing we were texting about, thought you were going to SC, so didn't wanna bother ya.

Do you still have the OEM ball joints (they are riveted on)?

They are a huge PITA, but I'd be willing to help you work on it, if you want help.

hey guys just lowered the price on my truck to 2800 someone could snatch it and part it out alot of good parts

Misfit
01-31-2012, 05:28 AM
Yeah I'm 99% sure they are stock. But I do have a big ass 4.5 inch grinder, should knock those out in no time.

And yeah, some help would be greatly appreciated as I've never attempted such a job. Slow R/T is gonna help too, but I don't know where we're gonna do this at, I'm pretty sure his house, I think he has way more tools and stuff than I do.

Misfit

I'm amazed that truck has yet to sell. In what little pics you've posted, it looks like a nice clean ride. You have any more pics? I can't afford it,but I wish I could. I don't really need another R/T, but for 2,800 bucks, it could be a easy " flip" have it completely detailed, etc etc and in summer could probably get 4-4,500 out of it.

Well, let me know when and where and I'll be glad to help. I did mine about a year or so ago. You'll need some good sharp drill bits and tools to do the ball joints and a few other things I can't think of....lol
