    I’ve been getting a lot of help here, thanks! Here’s one shot of my truck parked behind a tiny car! I’m in the process of blacking everything out. Headlights, tail lights, grill and side mirror covers are done. Need to do the fog lights and Chevy emblems still. Maybe the chrome trim too but it...

    Cool engine cover

    Maybe I’ll go that route or maybe I’ll just leave it. Thanks for the thoughts!

    Cool engine cover

    I thought about that. But aren’t there several electronic things under there that need protecting?

    Cool engine cover

    I put the airraid intake tube in and now there’s a big gap on the engine cover where the old resonator was. Does anybody know of a cool engine cover that I could buy?

    Bumpy/shuddering idle in drive-SOLVED

    Update. I swapped the coils and there was no change so I put them back and swapped two plugs. In the process I saw one was cracked. The misfire followed the cracked plug so I changed them all to new. All better now!! Thanks for all the help, this forum is great!!

    Bumpy/shuddering idle in drive-SOLVED

    I hooked up the autocal and proceeded to monitor the data. I used the E38 misfire PID and it looks like cylinder 3 has a misfire. The count increased with each shudder so I’m pretty certain that’s a strong clue! It’s not throwing a code though. Questions: What is the firing order for the 5.3...

    One more quick question, does anybody know if the autocal will read the service suspension warning code? I want to get to the bottom of that issue too. Hopefully it’s the compressor.

    I’m going to start with checking the most recent fixes for mistakes. The shop is good but they can be sloppy. I was changing the headlights and found an old spark plug that they must’ve dropped. I’ll be home in a few days and will report my findings. Thanks for all the helpful direction!!

    No fuel smell after start up. I have not replaced the battery cables. I did replace the battery when I bought it. To be clear I don’t exclusively use E85. I use it when I’m in the area of the e85 station. Right now it’s filled with e85 but a week ago I had regular gas in it.

    Bumpy/shuddering idle in drive-SOLVED

    I’ll upload some photos when I’m back home. I’m out of town at the moment. My scanner is the EFIlive AutoCal from Black Bear. When I get home I’m going to hook it up and see if there are any codes. No engine lights at the moment. Just the “service suspension system” that comes on occasionally...

    The mechanic cleaned the throttle body. IAC I’m not sure of. The mechanic also cleaned the MAF sensor with the special maf spray.

    My cousin told me to give this a try. Look at it at night and see if you can see it arcing. Thanks for the reminder!

    The only work is a new coil on cylinder 1, plugs and wires and a tune from black bear. Original fuel pump. I should add that the air compressor for the rear shocks is pretty loud. At one point I thought it was the fuel pump but it’s not. Also the “service suspension system” warning comes on...
