Red Stop Engine Light

[Tmaj12k]

Well guys. I followed a combo of advice given out on this thread. I got with another driver who has some mechanical experience and we did a slight EGR tune up. We removed the pipe that runs underneath the air filter box. It had some sut inside so we cleaned it out. We also removed the Imap and EGR pressure sensor. Sut was everywhere. The imap sensor was barely noticeable. We replaced it with one that had been cleaned. We cleaned the pressure sensor as best we could and put it back. Later on I watched the vid Rawze put out and learned that it's best to replace the sensor all together. It really can't be cleaned. I'll have to get back in there with a new one. Guessing I should do the same with the imap as well.

We also put a hole in the crankcase filter to let those gases and pressure escape. I could've done more but I wanted to see if there would be any difference after the cleaning. It definitely was. The truck has a bit more zip in my opinion. I've been driving the truck for 2 weeks now and I get an occasional yellow light but no red light. The yellow pops on sometimes during an upgrade with a heavy load. Before, I'd get the yellow then red light as soon as I got my speed up to and over 60 mph. It didn't matter if I was loaded or empty. I intend to remove that big intake pipe, clean it out, and put new sensors in and hopefully I can ride for a bit until I save enough for that overhaul.

The only other thing I have not done yet is add the gear lube to the oil. I've been asking around about it and people are looking at me like I'm crazy! All I can say is that the info I've gotten from you guys here seems to have had a positive outcome for me. Why stop now? I just got a pm done the other day and I'm waiting for the lube to come in the mail. I'll continue to keep you guys posted. Thanks again
