southsidemex23 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Is there a way to clean the pick up tube? Just want to make sure it doesn't have any crap plugging it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidemex23 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Well I'm gonna try and borrow my friends Snap-on borescope. Maybe I can see the inlet pipe and make sure it is not being plugged up. What do u guys suggest? I was also thinking maybe spray some Carb cleaner down the pipe with the oil pan plug off so it can drain out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are if its being "plugged" or blocked in anyway, its at the pick up screen and you will be hard pressed to be able to clean it, without removal. Maybe someone has away they have come up with:dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidemex23 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Well of course my luck. Nothing goes as expected. Lol I stuck the borescope and found some small pieces of what looks like melted copper. I tried getting it out but its impossible. What's the chances of the truck not running after I put it back together? I'm gonna put the pan on right now but I'm really discouraged right about now. Don't know if its gonna hold up after I put it all back and drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO fix it rite, and before it's just more work on ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
