As far as I know the only reluctor wheel that will fit in a 4l80e is the 40 tooth. When the reluctor is not present they will sometimes read the parking pawl, but that is only 21 teeth. Even with the speedo reading off, that shouldn't effect shifting as the PCM uses the vssb's 40 tooth output...
How long have you had this van? When did the problem start? Why was the trans rebuilt. A 99 should use a vssb, not a drac(similar boxes, but the vssb has more outputs). Has any wiring work/repairs been made to this vehicle?
I have no problems with dexcool, I run it in both of mine. Many imports run it as well now. As to the trans cooler lines, most radiators have coolers in them for 5/16" lines, starting in 97 for the 4l80e, they changed the cooler circuit which increased the flow through the cooler, so they went...
Verify tps adjustment, make sure it is reading fluid temp, did he put the 91-93 only epc in it or did he cheap out and put the 94-03 in it, brake switch adjustment, check it for codes, put a trans pressure gauge on it?
Early 4l80e's had a silicone seal that was prone to cracking. Later they came out with a metal sleeve with an integrated rubber lip seal that was much tougher. The fluid level should drop a good 2-3 inches with the engine running. When the filter seal fails they have a hard time picking up fluid...
My 1st check would be to check the fluid level with the engine off, then start it up, and recheck the fluid level. See how much the level drops when it starts. Your symptoms sound alot like a cracked filter seal which makes it suck air instead of fluid. And to eliminate electrical, unplug the...
Cali used to have all those same requirements and would allow diesel swaps so long as the diesel was emissions certified for a like vehicle(the engine from a 2500 pickup to 2500 Suburban was acceptable, but say the engine from a 2500 pickup to an S10 would not fly as they were in different...
I bought them YEARS ago off of ebay from a wholesale closeout sale. Not sure if you can still find them or not.
Found a place that shows to have 25 of them, kent moore j-39177

DO NOT PUSH IN ON THE VALVE LIKE THAT YOUTUBE VIDEO! Those are NOT bleeders, those are the valves in your proportioning/combination valve that is no longer being produced or available for sale, so if you damage it you're SOL. The video showing the plastic tool for bleeding does not apply to the...
My main use right now is converting all of my dvd's & blu-rays over from disc to .mp4 files. I have the raspberry pi3's set up with kodi to play .mp4 video files so that I can upload all of our movies onto a hard drive and play them through the media centers on the TV. It is alot easier to carry...
I was on vacation last week and trying to nurse my back. I put off back surgery this summer hoping to spend some time with my kids and all of my summer plans went to crap on me. We'll find a time for me to get the tech2 on it here shortly.
I have 2 Raspberry Pi3's that I use for media centers and also as game emulators. Probably going to upgrade them to Pi4's for better video playback. I went on vacation so I haven't had much time to use it, but I did do some video conversion work. It runs handbrake at right around 4.1ghz at 80%...
Do you know what all was done during the rebuild? Was the AFL valve upgraded with the transgo(preferred) or sonnax valve? Were the original shift solenoids re-used and if so were they the screened ones? It can take a certain number of shifts or time for some codes to set.
I know sonnax makes...
Decided to get a new computer. I need more than what my tablet can do and I want to save my laptop for strictly tuning purposes. Did ALOT of searching and decided on the MINISFORUM X400, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd hard drive, and an AMD Ryzen 7 4750g 3.6ghz(overclocked to 4.4ghz) processor. I wanted...
Up to 95 originally had non self regulating glow plugs in them. You could glow them for 8 seconds, but going 10, and they would explode(I did this with one testing it). 96+ had self regulating plugs meaning they could stay on for however long and not burn up. So obd1 does not have the glow time...
How old are the injectors? A 6.5l shouldn't need much if any glow time to start at 75-80 degrees. I know mine started like crap in Florida when my injectors went bad and started dribbling.
It needs balanced. Take both shafts in and make sure to have them marked how the slip splines go together. The 3 joints MUST be in unison or else it will destroy the driveline from the vibrations.
For brake parts I will use ONLY RAYBESTOS from now on. I went through hell in my Suburban with...
