Pink camo, #dadbodhunter, and a whole lotta stupid!

How many miles on the truck?

Apparently too many!

 

[Dave N]

Seriously. Hope you get it straightened out soon.

 

[MTLabrador]

That really puts a damper on the trip. Hope it’s not something more serious that’s wrong.

Part just got delivered. Told him to drive it like he stole it on the test drive.

And?

Gremlins… he videod himself flooring it and getting up to 90 and pulling hard with no issues. Got out of town and it happened again. Should be ok if I keep it under 65mph. I’m headed back to co

Could something be getting hot ? A sensor maybe ? Cold it doesn't happen , hot it does ? Engine temp related ?

 

[Nick87]

That blows. Safe travels, good luck.

 

[Sixmile]

That's frowned upon during archery season here.

Time to trade it in.

Likely, it feels like it could be a fuel supply issue. It’s happened enough now. Under a certain amount of strain, like long uphills it starts to putter a little before the check engine light goes off and shaking starts. Not consistent rpm, mph, or anything else similar. Only thing I could explain it from a consistency standpoint is a sustained amount of a certain load of strain and it goes out. I feel like I can let off the gas and prevent the fault at the last second.

I think I have her fine tuned lmao. Feathering the shit out of the throttle, no long sustained pulls. I’d probably make a passenger puke but it’s working.

Pretty sure it’s the fuel pump but we shall see.

Dumb question but what about the throttle position sensor?

Gave me fits in my GMC. Cheap and easy to replace. The drive by wire stuff sucks. mtmuley

I've had more than one go bad on me over the years.

Close to Casper, symptoms look right. I’ll pick one up and report back

Be careful in Casper. I have stories about a moss covered car and a bloody flip flop and spilled pizza at Motel 6. Hope the sensor works. mtmuley
