Re: Question about changing Lower Intake man Gasket on 2000 Chevy C3500, 7.4 liter en
Guys, truck runs AWESOME!!! finished the truck up around lunch time today and topped/burped the coolant, changed the oil becuase it was that chocolate milkdshake looking stuff, and buttomed everything up cleaned and put all my tools away. Me and the wife took the truck for a ride and it ran flawlessly and no leaks noted except at first when I first cranked her up the bypass hose was dripping on the manifold side but I tightened up the hose clamp and the leak disappeared. Now, before I tore into this job and this is the first time it has ran crappy was this Past Friday after noon after work I cranked it up to move it off the grass into the driveway and she ran like crap and stalled on me twice and I got a check engine light of P0102 but that was before the job was started but after the gasket replacments no check engine lights and she runs like brand new. Boy, I was so bothered when my truck wasn't running right Friday afternoon and I had to wait and hope that the gasket replacement fixed my problems and it did and I am thankful. I will continue to monitor my oil for water/coolant contamination and check the level of my coolant to make sure that it is staying full when cold. So to recap my truck is running like brand new again and sounds great and idles at 600 rpms at idle. Will keep you posted if anything changes.
