Burken Boys’ and Girl’s Journey

wjburken- 96-99 5.7 with some 5.7 2000's are acceptable swaps. I always grab computer too as a just in case timesaver. Your 5.0 injector mapping is different, but it may "learn". Tech2 nice to have here.

Thanks. Hoping not to have to go that route, but like to know my options.

Joseph is really getting into it. When you’re only 5’1”, gotta do what you gotta do to reach the nut in the back of the alternator

Heres hoping its just a failed intake.

Thanks. That’s my leading hypothesis at the moment.

In light of recent events, this made me laugh.

Reminds me of changing an oil pressure sender for my neighbor's 5.3. Had blankets and a wood panel on top of the engine, and I laid on top of that to reach the back of the engine after using a stepstool to get up on it.

Next time, just do what I did. My buddy Casey is like 6'4", I fumbled around with mine, Superman style over the intake, for about 10 minutes. He says, get out of the way. 15 minutes later, I was firing it up...

Well…we got the intake manifold out and from what I’m seeing, I’m pretty sure it was a bad intake gasket.

Going to start cleaning it up and putting it back together. If it’s more than a bad gasket, going to have to have some different conversations with Joseph on how far we dig into this thing.

It is pretty nasty in there. That’s for sure, but it’s a 25 yr old motor.
