Maybe its just the valve seals then...not too bad a job (and I think not too expensive if you have others do the work).

Stay positive :)

My ass. Look at it.
For real, I am experiencing some pretty frustrating problems too, plus I am a student and money is tight, but the best thing to do is just stay positive. If you have to, take it somewhere to have it looked at, shoot your in NY, lots of SyTyers in the northeast that I am sure can help. Im in BFE, NO ONE knows what this thing is and how to work on it. Take a break from it for a short while, and then start fresh- this almost always helps me figure stuff out.

Yeah yeah yeah.... your not telling us anything we haven't experienced for ourselves. Get a second job. Throw more cash it. :lol: But hey my 40K truck runs like a charm. :D
 

ed hess

race or get outta the way
yeah
life really sucks when you have to slow down how fast your turbo brings on the power after the launch so you dont lose traction during the end of 60ft.
life with these trucks really bites. lol
