Bought this thing in 2011 the second i had enough $$ to afford my first toy, no idea what is inside the engine. Highly unlikely anyone figured the cam into the build given the quality of the rest of the work. Truck owes me nothing, ive done Rubicon, Moab, and Johnson Valley a few times and ive done nothing to it except a new fuel pump many years back. Lots of fun and good memories for a $7k spend.Ok, started rereading this...being a Howell, the first thing I'd ask is what cam, and did that get figured into the program? Then I'd say check the block grounds, bare metal, direct from batt.
Does it fart and pop, or just real lazy? Real lazy, timing issues. Farting and popping, timing or valves.
What timing pointer and what harmonic balancer, are they matched? I run into that all the time with things. Shoot yourself in the foot before you start.
It farts and pops. So i think fuel or spark issues. The thing i dont understand is why it only does it under load. If it was valves, wouldnt it do it regardless of load? After doing some reading, im going to throw a new vacuum modulator into the trans and see if that does anything.
