Wiz;
Didnt need any sarcasum, just your thoughts. Axle looks like a butter knife cut through it. I've seen many axles that were sheared by hot rodding, or raceing. This is a new one on me. This truck was bought 3 months ago from a 63 year old dude. we had the computor checked for raceing or over rev. Thanks for your help anyway.
Yes the fuel pump should always be on when the engine is running, but when it's first started you usually hear the fuel pump run for a second then it stops. I went ahead and changed the fuel filter and found a little water and trash in the filter. I removed the fuel tank, cleaned it and installed a new fuel pump. Fuel pressure is over 30 PSI and it still has a hard timestarting. What stops the fuel pump from running when you first crank the engine? I noticed when I turn the key on and the fuel pump does not stop running, the truck has a heck of a time starting. As soon as the pump stops when the key is on, the truck starts right away. The check engine light does not come. So it is not putting out any codes. Suggestions? Thanks!
I recently had my oil changed in my car. They put in 5w30. Then I noticed my car making a noise from the motor. I had it looked at and they told me that my oil pressure was bottoming out. So I took that oil out of the car and put in Lucas Oil Stabalizer 1 quart and 4-5 quarts of Valvoline 10w30. The car is still making the noise. Does anybody now what I should do to fix it? The noise does not happen all the time.

There should be some kind of self preservation test every one has to take when they get their drivers license. I wonder how some people are still alive and have not taken others with them. Maybe I should just log-off I must be getting cranky.
