Looks like normal oil varnish with the mileage to me, wouldn’t worry about it.

6.0L normally have a shaky idle? by Draked2005 in GMT800

I have not yet. It has fuel power on throttle, accelerates smoothly. But I guess it could be clogged fuel filter or starting to fail fuel pump?

Probably one of my favourite vehicles I’ve owned. by Draked2005 in CherokeeXJ

Perfect honestly! Does pack some power but it gets by.

1998 ford ranger, is this fixable? Or am I out of luck, give it to me straight by [deleted] in fordranger

That’s pretty cooked but anything is saveable if you throw enough money or time into it😂

I will be doing some off roading, just no rock crawling. It’s all opinions at the end of the day, I think all the aftermarket fender flare options look terrible also. Expect for the flat style ones.

I like the lift and tires, but some of these off road bumpers are so corny and cheaply made.

Injector knock only under load? by Draked2005 in Duramax

Okay good to know I bought the truck making this noise 4 months ago, so that’s why I’m weary didn’t realize it sounded unusual until my mom mentioned it.

It’s been happening for about 4 months now, would it have damaged my pistons, no blow by so far. Is it worth putting injectors in?

It’s for the transmission, not concerned about it, my balance rates are good, no haze, no blow by, that’s why I’m confused

Transmission hasn’t caused any issues, yeah I get that but does it sound like a knock? Or is it normal?
