Default short rant

When I bought my truck I new the front axel shaft needed to be replaced but the guy who sold me it had the replacement in his shed and gave it to me with the.truck. today me and my friends dad went under to replace it and found out the replacement wasn't right. its about an inch shorter then what I need. so one Sunday wasted. Now I need to order it and get it in hopefully no snow this week

yeah i have nice tires on their its just frustrating wasting a whole day ripping it apart in the freezing cold and having the wrong part and putting it back together broken. Now my truck wont start, for some reason if i dont warm it up to the normal running temp it will stall and takes forever to start back up, but this time it is taking a lot longer then usual.

its 93 with a 5.8liter, i know my o2 sensor is shot because it doesnt stay in cause the spot for it on the headers is bigger then the o2 sensor. if the truck is flooded (if thats possible) what do i do just wait?? My alternator and battery are new so it must be fuel related. Also i need a new brake booster could that also be the issue??

fuel injected, wont flood. theres a lot of other things that could cause a no spark besides battery and alt. if your brake booster has a bad vacuum somewhere thats probably your issue. if you can check your fuel pressure, check that too, your pump could be on its way out. i'm betting its sensor related and you should probably check your codes, theres a thread in this section of how to do it, you dont need a scanner for it.

Not the brake booster, is the booster hissing? To see if its flooding have someone crank the engine and smell the exhaust, if it smells like gas, its flooding, if not might be the tfi module going bad

Yeah it hisses everytime you hit them.
But this morning I went out she fired right up. Let her warm up drive away as soon as I let off the gas the truck stalled. Starts right back up and same thing drive let of the gas to slow up and boom stalls
