UPDATE I has a well recognized shop check out the noise. Unfortunately, we couldn't recreate the noise since it's been record breaking heat here in az (92 to 99 degrees). But luckily one of the mechanics used a laser alignment tool and found out that my power steering pulley or shaft is...

I just recently changed my spark plugs and wires now it idles at about 700rpm, but someone who's touched the truck before used champion plugs and my idle used to be 1500rpm. 700rpm sounds very normal especially now that the truck runs like new all over again. It feels like a whole new truck.

Regarding the trans. filter, it is replacesble but the filter is reusable. You just want to make sure that whatever you use to clean it with has completely dried up. Don't bother relying on the owner's manual for how many quarts you would need to do a drain and fill. I just did ine last night...

clips You can do one of two things. The first one involves removing the whole door pannel, then spreading out the remaining clips you have left. The second would be buying some replacements form a parts store. Try any parts store that has a HELP section. It's not a service but the name brand...

What tranny do you guys have? I think Imight havr the same problem. My oil level is down by half a quart max so far.

question If it was my U-joint, wouldn't it make the noise constantly? I'm not sure just wanted to ask. The noise seems to come from the engine compartment. Does this relate to anyone that has had a problem with their U-joint?

I'll see if I can have a friend check my U-joint, and yes I've had a (timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and all belts) changed over already, and finally I have an auto transmission. I have noticed that since it's been warming up here in AZ, the noise isn't as loud and it doesn't last as...

update Okay, now the truck is making the noise even when I accelerate kinda hard. It's really loud in the morning but faint when I leave work and it has sat all day long. I coming to the conclusion that it may be a bearing in one of the the pulleys. Hopefully, just a tensioner pulley. I'll...

Well I went ahead and changed all my belts and had all my pullies inspected, but it still makes the noise. Could the noise possibly be coming from wheel hub bearings? From experience I know wheel hub bearings would make the noise constantly.

I've eliminated the possiblities of it being the a/c belt/pulley, p/s belt/pulley, the alternator belt needed some tightening but I still hear the squeek even after correcting the tension on all belts and sprayed wd-40 on them one by one. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just like it says...I'm getting a squeeky noise once I'm in higher gear at constant speeds betweein 35mph all the way upt o 70mph. I already had a family mechanic look at it and he said it was my alternator belt. We sprayed wd-40 and tightened it but the problem still persists. I also took the...

thanks for the reply....i just decided to go ahead and do it after posting this. I had my truck in my shop and being a car audio installer Ihad the tools that was needed. I just used a speaker ring spacer instead of the deck plate mod since I didn't know the true function of the deck plate. I...

i'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF I WANT TO DO THE DECK PLATE MOD OR JUST BUY AN INTAKE. i USED TO BE IN THE IMPORT SCENE AND WOULD JUST GET AN INTAKE KIT, BUT NOW I'M MARRIED AND HAVE A 2YR OLD BOY. WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS WHAT IS A DECK PLATE? WHAT IS IT ORIGINALLY USED FOR? AND WHERE...
