Got some investigating done today! Went outside with the intent of tightening each of my belts, I noticed one was really loose (they were all a little bit loose) the other day so I went ahead and tightened them all. While I was doing that I noticed something strange... I had a hose that was nearly split in two. It was a small vacuum hose, that means I've been running with a vacuum leak. I know it hasn't been split for long, last time I looked in the engine bay I would've seen it. So for now I put some electrical tape over it to keep it at least slightly sealed. After doing that I decided to look for that O2 sensor that Jerry told me about, found it easy right where you told me it was. Don't really see how it would be hard to get to, but I haven't tried to loosen it so I don't know. While I was under the truck I did a quick lookaround just to make sure everything was in order. Was looking in the rear just to make sure everything was fine. I looked at the passenger side and everything looked fine. I got to the driver side and something looked off. I'm missing my bump stop... Ever since I got the new wheels and tires a year or so ago, on the driver side rear when I hit a bump, the top of my fender has dug into my sidewall. I always figured it was because there was more weight (me) on that side of the vehicle... Guess not lol. I was on a roll so I decided to try and fix my windshield washer jets. When I painted the truck I didn't put tape over them so they've been clogged and hadn't worked since. After some finagling I got them working pretty good. Ever since I got the truck my rear door has been off a little bit. Had to put duct tape over the light button because the driver side never latched right. Well I remember a few months ago I was messing with it and thought I got the driver side latching right but wasn't sure so I left the tape. Well I did fix it then, so I went ahead and pulled the tape off in confidence. DS latched just fine but the PS didn't. Have to push on the PS really hard and it'll latch, I'm happy with it for now lol. After all that I decided to start the truck up and make sure everything was fine. Started it up and it ran fine (fine as in the idle was back to normal, which seemed odd as I hadn't done anything to fix that). Went over to the engine bay while everything was running to make sure my belts were fine and realized I forgot to put the air filter hose back on the throttle body. Shut the truck off and put that on. Started it up and the idle was funny again (how it's been the last couple weeks). Not really sure what that means. I would've been getting more air without the filter connected, so could it have something to do with the O2 sensor like you said Jerry?
Edit: Thought I would be able to find a stock bump stop online but I can't seem to. Anyone know where I can get one? Or would it be better to just get two new rear bump stops?
The vacuum hose Ts off on the DS and runs over to something on the PS, not sure what it is. I'm posting a picture so you guys can see. Anyways, anybody know where I can get a new one?
