Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well you covered everything I would check/replace. Maybe your fuel pump is going. Even worst case, your heads could have a crack in them, but it wouldn't get better if that happened. Just check the filter, plugs, even the gas if the truck has been sitting for a while. That should cover it.

It's geting worse. I was driveing my G/f home tonight and I almost couldn't make it up the first hill (I live in a really hilly place) So I had to floor it down the hill's then hope I made it up the next. Well the truck was siting but that was about 5 tank's ago so I dought that, that's it. I guess I should try a new fuel pump. Yeah I doubt it's the head's. Timeing should be fine. If it wasn't it would of been like this since I got it. The strange thing is the Gas milage just jumped up. My dad drove it a few month's back and took it very easy and only got 14mpg. I drove the piss out of it and Im geting almost 18mpg. So I think it's deffently something in the fuel system b/c it's acting almost like it's not geting enough fuel. My dad's going to get a filter from his shop tomorow and Im going to see if that does it. If it's not that then Im just going to check stuff and hope it stops I guess. Im geting a job this week so Im just going to save money and buy another Jeep to make mine a 4x4 and maybe try to convert it over to the newer V8's there running in the Cherokee's but thats too much wireing for me so I'll prob. just get an older V6.

Well I think I figured it out. My truck's just jelous of my G/f. I don't drive her to school so It never happen's. Tonight she had to work so I just drove home and nothing happend. 3nodding

Well my dad's still convinced it the filter. Im not sure at all. If it's not that then I guess I got to change the damn pump... That's going to suck Is my truck new enough to have the pump in the tank? I hope not. Usually replaceing the pump on my VW's is simple b/c it on top of the moter. Why the hell do they put them in the tank now?

PICS! blaugh
We want some pics Toker. ANd good luck with the new truck! xd

Yeah I got one pic. of my jeep that I can have scaned. but I have no pics. of the sonoma yet. I got to get it runing right first it won't idle you have to drive with 2 feet one covering the breack and one on the gas so it don't die. I've accedetly breack torqued it a few time's already. This thing's a ******** power house. I can't wait to get it on the road. After school yesterday my dad made me go to his shop. He had a S-10 with Camaro Wheel's and a Pioneer Stereo. So He brought it home and put those part's on while I was at work. He also turned the Air fiter over so now there's a gap so I can get more air. My buddy thought it was a high Performance air cleaner so I had to explain to him that, that's what they did to muscle cars for more power and a cool sound. So Now sounds good look's good but run's like crap.


What do you mean they break easly? I thought it was suposted to be a tuff truck. The only thing Im worried about is the trans.

Its got 95K mile's. Its 2wd. For the first 60K miles of it's life it had a guy drive it. He put in a Performance chip and my dad saw him spin the tire's out of the shop almost every day. Then for the next 5 year's it's been owned by an old lady that never really drove it so the Gas was all crapy So I figure the probs. it's haveing are in the fuel system. Oh I'll defenetly take good car of it. I mite ever once in a while spin the tires leaveing school. I guess it all depends a on who's around and if one of my girlfriend's is rideing along.

You can probs get another 100k out of it if you play your cards right. We had a chrystler minivan at my work with 235k miles on it, and it actually ran beautifully, except the AC had just recently died in July.
We sold it to some guy for $500 and made his day.
