I bought Bosch Platinum +4 (Nod to Spike) and Bosch Wires (not the cheapos)
Had a pretty bad exhaust leak,I don't have a lift but there's a cheap muffler shop down the street
Drove the truck over there, put it on the lift and sure enough it's leaking like a sieve
I suppose I could have climbed under there and did it myself but I don't mind supporting small local businesses
Got new donuts for 3.99 apiece at the parts house
60 bucks later, the engine and exhaust is WAY quieter

My main issue left at this point is overheating, but that's another topic
Thanks for the help everyone
This site is a great resource
Have a great day

 

Glad to hear you are doing well with it.

 

Ok Paul maybe you should start new tread for ease of following.Meanwhile check if you have spark and fuel.You said that you changed fuel filter , did you check for the flow arrow on the fuel filter?
