I just bought an '85 ext cab today.
Ran great while test driving it. Drove 100 miles on the highway and now the thing is continuously stalling. The centre bearing on the driveshaft is considerably sloppy. It does need a new clutch (but not that badly), it makes a lot of noise in all but 4th gear (tranny noise) as well as while idling with the clutch pedal released and in neutral (but not with the clutch depressed). The engine stalls while starting from a complete stop or while just idling. Once underway the truck surges while in first (is this a clutch thing?). But once you are into second gear and rolling it fine from there.
When idling the rpms fluctuate and occassionally result in a stall.
My first suspision is a vacume leak or problem of some kind. If it is, any suggestions on finding the problem? Could this also be a problem with thetiming?
Any knowledgeable help would be greatly appreciated (this is my first 22re). The worst part is that I still have to drive 300 or so miles to get home! hahaha
Thanks,
Greg
