I can't tell you if cleaning it solved my problem-I just about had the truck back together when the garage it was parked in caught on fire (I wasn't there). So did my truck, unfortunately. RIP. So now I'm shopping to replace it-wish it was because I wanted to and not out of necessity!
I'm pulling this thing apart right now and I may have bitten off more than I can chew,, videos are all over the place, if I could find a step by step video I would give up my virginity for it..right now I have the up pipe removed, belt is loose, down pipe is loose, but the manifold bolts are scaring the crap out of me would hate ot break one,They are being soaked with liquid wrench..
