    Cam button theory (grassy knoll).............pulling the cam and caused the lifter bore to wear unusual / causing the sticky lifter

    Sticky? Is it ticking?

    That could explain the unusual wear on the lifter(s)......

    Re: V6 Cutting out at cruising speeds?

    Wow, lots of stuff to read since I've been offline.
    Sadly, no solution. :cry:

    Sparky, is the fuel tank clean? Any chance of debris clogging the pickup? Maybe the pickup sock collapsing?
    IIRC, baby John had a fuel tank liner problem like this once...
    just want to be sure that the tank is eliminated from the list. Hmmm, I'll look on the spreadsheet...

    Re: V6 Cutting out at cruising speeds?

    Oh, allright, Lex threatened me if I didn't tell you that I'd fixed it last nite. Said it was mean. Billy told her he'd not been sleeping well and had books all over the place trying to figure this out. He knows now though, he called me and talked with me last nite.

    I did fix it. It is something that's not been specifically suggested but the main issue caused by it has been eluded to here.

    If you're up for it, first person to tell me what I changed last nite gets four, 2 big, 2 small, free stickers with the new logo design.

    No, I already did that, see the spreadsheet. Those were specifically mentioned.

    What I did is not on the spreedsheet.
