Hey everyone,
About 3 months ago I installed my Alpine CD player and Infinity Kappa
speakers, I have had feedback and what sounded like ignition noise ever
since. I wasn't impressed, at the cost of my equipment I want crystal clear
sound, not hissing during quiet portions of songs. Well, I tried lots of
things to cure this and nothing helped. Well, I gave up on it. Then I went
to address a different problem I was having. The truck would miss and not
run on all 8 cylinders after splashing through a puddle, well my wires are
original date coded 1995 wires. So I picked up a set of Belden lifetime
warranted wires (I couldn't afford nice wires right now) and performed the
wire rerouting TSB, I didn't have a spark knock problem but what can it hurt?
I was pleasantly surprised to find that my radio interference was GONE,
guess I killed 2 birds with one stone. I also replaced my Accell U-grove
plugs with Autolites at the same time (3923's) so maybe my Accell plugs were
causing feedback, who knows. Mileage on a 1000 mile trip was 17.1 with a
fairly heavy right foot. I really can't complain, and that GTP (supercharged
3.8) met his match when he tried to pass me on the right while weaving in and
out of traffic. Up next: 52mm Ported Throttle Body.
