I did find a diagram for the charging system. doesn't tell me much other than confirming that the ECM/PCM controls the alternator through a pwm signal. looks like I might have to go through all of the power and grounds along with probing for any voltage drops between the battery and the PCM...
yipes! that happened to me while teaching my daughter to drive on the dodge pickup. wasn't at 60, but we were nearing our turn on a main road. I remind here to use the signal with cars behind us.... she reaches to the shifter and puts it in reverse!!!! we felt and heard the BANG CLANK and...
Yup, that one in the pic has a spring to help with "weak" springs and to help increase carry capacity. they will make the ride rough or stiffer when there is not a load in the back. I installed air shocks on my 95 for this reason since my springs are weak. what makes the air shocks good...
Hey guys, I know I can ask on the trailvoy forums but I'm not a member there "yet" as I had posted in another thread we had the battery go bad on us. the battery was dated June of this year and somehow got smoked to where it would not take a charge. this was a couple weeks ago. I since...
For the most part I think it should. things you need to watch out for is the internal harness may be different along with sensors / solenoids. also depending on what engines are driving it in both yours and on the donor. torque converters could be different.. and no do not plan to re-use...
what I didn't get off the video is how he said about the long travel, he only changed the MC, the travel is in how the pedal is setup. makes me wonder if the travel is reduced with the piston in the MC doesn't go as far.
The brakes on my 93 seem to work perfectly, but on my 95 they are much to be desired. I assume for a 3500 I would use one for a gmt800 3500 truck. thought about trying one for a gmt400 HD and see what happened.
Yeah that was a good find and save there! I had to replace mine on the 95, for one person laying on the concrete driveway it was a bugger to say the least! I got lucky though and only had to unbolt the trans and slide it back enough to get by wrenches in there!
future note. keep a...
I use an app on my phone called fuelly to track my mileage along with tracking when it's time to do the oil changes. the app is free but I invested into the paid version for 7.99 a year. one of the perks on the paid version is getting to add it to my signature here in the forums.
my problem...
Nice work! wonder if you were to custom make a sharp 90 with flanges on both sides, then tweak the down pipe if that would give you some extra clearance.
something I have always wondered... on these gmt400's what it would take to convert to a short bed. I keep picturing in my head of my 93...
on your PS fluid, do you have a cooler installed? it could be getting how during your drive and puking. could also be a leak too, stop by a car wash and clean that area off (dollar store oven cleaner works wonders then wash off with water) drive a little ways and look for where it's leaking.
what was the outdoor temp on that startup? looks like everything is clearing up nicely. my only suggestion is to make sure the fast idle solenoid is connected and working. it should be tied into the cold advance solenoid so it increases the idle on cold starts. I have mine setup like...
Nice!!
question, how low does that crossover hang (from the ground) I assume you are planning for suspension lift or tall tires for offroad shenanigans.
Dude, it's not if but when it will snap your block. that "bro" doesn't know much about these diesels and it shows! the best way to get at that bracket is to lift the front end so you have some wiggle room, pull the front tire off so you can get in there. that bracket has got to be...
Excuse my language but HOLY SHIT!!!!
get that bracket installed ASAP!!! or else risk a cracked and busted block. my 95 is "still" living proof you need that bracket. the mounting ear on my block that holds the starter broke out and was welded back, threads were toast and was heli-coiled...
