just the difference in the tip IE. v tip, traditional spark plug, things like that.

been doing it for years and never had a problem.

thermo time switch or CSI for EFI motor is on the front of the intake just bellow to the left of the Throttle Body there are two sensors. Depending on year one will be green and the other should be black, it is the one on the left. this site has a picture of it near the bottom of the post...

yes you can flat tow put the t-case it N, the trans in N, and make sure that the front hubs are unlocked. no need to remove the front or rear drive shaft. That is what the "N" it the t-case is for.

I have read this alot on fourms with the 2nd gens. I have heard anthing from grimy brake fluid, bad rubber lines, bad calipers, bad master cylinder, and a crumy ABS modudle. In every case it has been something differnet that fixed the problem.

Fourwd1- w56 t-cases were not chain driven, v6's auto, manual and 4cylinder autos were however chain driven.

That was my next question as to where or not the cold start injector was working. As far as the check engine light for it to go out like that I am not to supprized. Mine has done the same thing when some thing was wrong with the engine, the system is only OBD1 it is not as complex as OBD2.

when you say bung, are you talking about the O2 senor bung? your truck is prity much same as mine.
