I agree myself. Once a guy finds the graciousness to get started, as you guys have provided, and with the sure circumstance of time and money being against me, I realize I should have studied this when I had the chance, in high school. Our teacher then was only 21 years old, and he couldn't very well control an all boy class only 3-4 years younger than he, so he just went with the flow instead of flunking us all.
I have already started to re-do all connections again. Soldering. Its a pain in the ass and I hardly have time to sleep, much less eat, before I have to be back at work for the man in the morning, but I've already spent almost 3K with numerous mechanics on a truck I paid 28 hundred for and it still ain't right. When I replaced the injectors myself, it cured a lot of problem, and especially the black smoke that bothered me so much. I'm beginning to figure out that what is wrong with my truck is a combination of maybe dozens of problems. Possibley compounded one little thing over another. I can't stand a poorly running machine. I'm not going to buy a crimper just yet, I used the end of a higher end stripper, it looked like it was made for it, but I had to stand on the SOB to crimp that connector. While I realized perfectionism can sometimes be a curse, and have had to take an engineer or two, down, on my floor, to show them what would not work in actual practice, I'm seeing the significance of both sides of the arguement. I'll surely let you know what soldering these has done for me and my truck. Just one more thing. I can tell you if I open the tape around the splices where those pigtails for those injector leads that go to the injectors is, and find them loose, or improperly crimped, or not closed from corrosion or moisture, there is going to be one more sore "mechanic," in these parts, cause I'll kick his hillbilly ass all the way back to Missouri.
