i need help! seriously!

tpr103 · 02-08-2010, 08:51 PM

i just bought a 2001 lightning lol! dealer said it has a blown motor, but it runs with a misfire. now for the good news! it has a magnum powers blower, sbtb, jdm efan, kooks headers and jdm exhaust, jdm cai, 4x4 pan (maybe a vb?), t/a rear cover (maybe something in the rear?), metco traction bars, & lower pulley (not sure of size). i pulled a plug and it was black. i hope to pull all the plugs tomorrow, do a compression test, and check the coils. im hoping its something easy. truck has 78k on her and needs a good detail. the engine compartment is disgusting. i must be crazy though, now i have to project trucks lol.

Did you find that L in the autotrader. I seen in in there on sat. It said it had a blown motor

tpr103 · 02-09-2010, 09:14 PM

yup i went and looked at it friday. i knew about it on wed. night.

Harley#356 · 02-09-2010, 09:27 PM

NICE Rich! Did you get it for what you mentioned to me you were going to offer?

I don't know how you find these sort of deals. First your motor dealio you got a killer deal on, now this truck! You suck! LoL!

Looking forward to some wrenching parties this spring!

tpr103 · 02-09-2010, 09:47 PM

sort of i had to pay tax on it so the price went up alittle. dude i step in **** ALL the time!

little up date on the trucks lol. sorry wife had the camera so no pics. i pulled plugs on the L and they were black and sooty. of course now it is snowing here again. it runs but really rough. i think it is barley firing. i did do a mod to it though lol. i did the fog light mod. worked great. also got work done on my harley. i installed a new optima battery lol. i have to go buy a compression/leak down tester. i ordered new plugs for the L and if the tests come back ok then i will install the new plugs, and pull the coils out of my hd and see how it runs then.

Harley#356 · 02-09-2010, 11:28 PM

if you call that "chit" that you stepped in again, find me some to jump in! LoL! I can't believe your luck man! Even with tax thats a heck of a deal!

Goodluck with it!

Nope, it went into a kids work truck

tpr103 · 03-27-2010, 02:47 AM

huge update on the L. well it was a 6cyl lol. #3 & #7 rods and pistons were completely gone. there were 2 huge holes in both sides of the block, and a nice size hole in the valley under the intake. i got a low mileage reman motor from somebody up north when he went built. i wound up trading my bogarts for it. josh his friend brian and my friend carmello pulled the motor. man that thing did not want to come out!! we had to cut my exhaust, and the thing just fought us every step. i stripped the old motor down, cleaned and painted all the parts i was reusing, and ordered my gaskets and oil pan. i buttoned up the new motor last weekend.

fast forward to yesterday. josh is the man!! him and i got the motor in, went pretty straight forward. josh left around 10pm. i continued til 3, and installed the headers, lower intake, p/s pump, a/c comp., alt., lower s/c pulley, wire harness, fuel rails, and a bunch of other things. now if i didnt decided to get the blower ported it would be running this weekend.

SouthJerseyUSA · 03-27-2010, 05:28 AM
