Re: Orangette Build Thread.
Lots of things can cause sludge. So many I'm not even going to start typing them all out lol. What oil are you currently running in orangette?
If its that sludged in the valley the rest of the engine is the same way more than likely.

Just because a Fram filter is the same color as your truck, doesn't mean it's a good filter to put on there...

Re: Orangette Build Thread.
hey nice truck
dont let some of these guys get you down just b/c you spend less on plugs,wires and oil when doing a tune up 
at least yours rolls down the road im sure there are some of us in here just wish we could listen to the radio  in our truck(still on jack stands waiting to be worked on or parts or.........)
good luck

Re: Orangette Build Thread.
Well, The Truck is running awesome i love it.
I put in a Injector Spacer. Works Awesome
I also did a huge cleaning on my TBI unit. and will rebuild it soon
i did some other little things like clean up wiring. new Monster RCA Cables.
Seats look really burgandy but in real life they are alot better.
No Spacer ring under the aircleaner. and missing one stud cause the bolt that holds it broke
Cleaned TBI Unit. And New Injector Spacer. I think it looks good.
Side Shot. I Think it looks good for a 4.3L
"Hidden" Sirius Antenna still needs to be finished.
