I didn't pull plugs or wires, and when I swaped out plugs before the chain I
use the only 1 at a time approach to avoid issues.
I'll have to see if my scanner is in a mood to talk to my truck, and see if
it finds anything.
I didn't notice any marks on the balancer either of the two times I had to
pull it, but I wasn't looking either. Might be fun to try and find them on
the block with all the crud down there. I guess I'll see if I can find
anyone who's got a timing light, or swing by my mechanic and see if they can
do a quick check.
As I'm heading out of town for the long weekend (made a wee bit longer) it
looks like Dak Diagnostics will have to wait, as it doesn't look like the
Dak is ready to go play off-road.
