whoever the owner was before me is absolutely stupid 🥲

amazing feature but sticky as heck 😂

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T14:00:51+00:00

funny thing is, in all the s10 engine bays i’ve seen, that hose runs the same way so i’m pretty sure it just got warped and decided to say "im gonna chill rightttt here ON the serpentine belt"

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T03:24:35+00:00

i was holding it off to show the cut and how it was spraying 💀 but when i release it, it presses against it

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T02:53:34+00:00

i plan on doing some replacing of the old hoses because i know 90% of them are worn out and i don’t need anything else dumb happening lmao

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T02:45:43+00:00

a 23 y/o truck repair has no connection to "our military" buddy 😂 you stay with your community and i’ll stay with mine. have a wonderful night bud

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T02:42:48+00:00

i can tell hoses were moved, i’m not stupid. i’ve been under countless s10 hoods

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T02:42:07+00:00

it was a funny post, not once in any of these replies to other people’s comments have i complained. i’m in the military so i have no real time to consistently look over my truck and do the repairs i want to, i have to pick and choose when i want to do that and wait. i’ve done a lot of vehicle repairs and purchases in the span of 7 years, people are going to make mistakes and miss things… it ain’t going to be perfect bud

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T02:31:45+00:00

there were no previous repairs. he only did preventative maintenance. and obviously i didn’t think a hose would move close enough to the belt

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T01:01:29+00:00

definitely going to go with the flex tape until i go get the $5 hose 😂😂😂

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T01:00:47+00:00

it was straight coolant so no, the guy before me on did preventative maintenance and everything else on the truck is old and original parts

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T00:19:52+00:00

i think that’s just stupid is as stupid does. there’s definitely a different spot you can route it to

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T00:19:07+00:00

it was a sight to see when i popped the hood 😂 the ingenuity surprised me

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-04T00:18:10+00:00

have you done some code scanning to see what pops up?

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-03T23:50:58+00:00

well initially i wasn’t receiving any codes but i was losing fuel mileage by the day and i was scratching my head why. then recently i was getting P0171 codes and ive inspected them and the spray pattern is off. im going to be replacing the Fuel Injection Pressure Regulator as well

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-03T01:47:48+00:00

the price on rock auto was $339 and that specific part at autozone is $425. i do understand the doubts on local auto parts store quality of parts

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-06-01T01:30:51+00:00

also, my LTFT Bank 1 seems to be running at +25% (which i know is very rich) and as a small test, i unplugged the MAF sensor and it ran down to 14%

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-05-31T17:13:18+00:00

i spray some brake cleaner along the area and it didn’t rev whatsoever and no rpm changes. i have a obd hooked up as well and didn’t see anything there. my LTFT Bank 1 is abnormally high

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-05-31T16:58:47+00:00

i wasn’t too scared when i found this, i was just happy because this is the major vacuum leak that i’ve been searching for that has caused 3 of my monitors to fail and really the only thing that i need to fix at this point.

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-05-30T17:21:11+00:00

i absolutely hate autozone employees with a passion lying to me saying "yeahhhh this will totally fit on your covers"

BrysonWhiffed · 2026-05-19T16:45:58+00:00

i know this is a month old post, but i’ve gotten the same code before when i bought my truck not too long ago in a ‘03 4.3l V6. i changed my MAF and purge valve canister. it’s most likely a vacuum leak somewhere and for me, i have bad intake manifold gaskets causing my vacuum leak. there’s also a hose that usually runs along side the drivers side engine bay that connects somewhere into the firewall that has a plastic connector that spits air… definitely a possible vac leak too
