NO way … the tuned port 4.3 is a notorious top end hunk of shit … (headgaskets,intake gaskets,EGR valves,non serviceable spider injectors) ---

pcv valve was just done and already checked that. I do alot of offroading but then bring the truck home and replace/inspect everything. it just did it today. no sign of going just appeared.lol. I was thinking somthing in the upper intakes but i did them in the summer when the truck slipped into a 5 foot puddle… I planned on changing the fuel filter,plugs and also cap and rotor. But i just want to make sure its not something else and will have to replace everything again in a day or 2. Thats the other thing how do you know when the injectors are shitting the bed? i dont know if its the same as the old tbi units. Also you think it can be something internal in the motor like a ring or something in that nature? Also i would like to thank everyone for there response. And keeping this thread clean and no bullpoopy. ---

do a coolant system pressure check and borrow a scanner with live data readouts to see if the sensor info makes sense. Brian ---

thats what i am leaning to. because the problem came from no where. So it had to be a sensor. but i am checking things again when i get home from the gym. ---
