Today I got in the truck it starts fine and ran fine so I drove it. After it warmed up the shaking got worse and the mileage still isn’t what it was. So I watched the o2 precast sensor readings on my scan gauge 2 today. They bounced around from high to low putty fast but would get stuck sometimes always on the rich side around 78 for just over a second maybe. Or it will change but hover around 72-78 for a minute which is rich. Someone on another site suggested I check the upper intake plenum gasket so I plan on doing that and pulling the plug wires tomorrow.
I have both a scan tool and a scan gauge 2. The scan gauge 2 can read and tell me what the o2 sensors are reading. The injectors are the spider injectors that are inside the manifold so I can’t unplug one at a time. Won’t I get shocked if i unplug them while its running?
Ill post what I find thanks!

I have been using the maverick (bad reputation for icy gas) 87 octane and I’m getting about the same as the chevron 87. I have wanted to try no ethanol gas but there doesn’t seem to be anywhere that sells it here.

This is true. And no I go straight there and straight back, (going there doing whatever we have planned then just me on my way home is when I have been watching my mileage) When I drive that route. It’s to my girlfriends so my attitude is generally pretty good lol. But I can definatlyy see how my attitude effects my driving along with all ther other variables. But also over all around other places it seems to be getting better mileage all around too, but I can’t say that for sure because I don’t drive those routes as often.
My coolant temp usually runs at 188F almost all the time once in a while it will drop Down to 186 or up to 192. I think it’s a 195F thermostat and the radiator is new. I’m debating putting a new thermostat in because I don’t know when it was done last and it couldn’t hurt anything.
I beleive my manual calls for no less than 87. I also know that my dirtbike doesn’t like any 85 octane and I get alot of engine noise with 85 in it so I put premium in it I forget what octane it is though.

Well I have driven the same 15 miles probably 20 times over the last week and I’m still getting around 2mpg better than I was. Sometimes averaging 22mpg! But usually 20mpg going and about 18-19 mpg coming back. Plus the engine seems to sound healthier And have a better gas pedal. But that could be my imagination.

Ok so I found out that with the aftermarket kit you are supposed to remove the judder springs. After I removed em it all worked perfect!
