    P0216 DTC

    When I busted the mounts on my first front differential (long story, don't ask) I took it to a Semi Truck Trailer Repair facility and they welded it back up. Cost about $150 though. Most likely because of the joy Will L. just described. Pity. I have another F lower that got an ear busted off...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    With the door panel removed, now is a good time to go over the locking rods while you access inside the door. Get the gack off where it’s accumulated in the guides using solvents and steel wool/abrasive pads then, relubricate with silicone. Should help with the power locks you had mentioned...

    Tech2 scanner

    I ordered a replacement OBD2 connector off the Vetronix web page. https://www.vetronix.com/ currently $18 plus shipping. You may need to call or email them as I just did a search on their page and, foot in mouth/keyboard, didn't see the OBD1. [email protected]

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Loaded up the truck with a few things to head down to El Mirage for the first 2025 SCTA land speed racing event. Clothing and other spares along with recovery tools were in the cab. I don't have the engine details or I'd post more details in the 'Other Diesels' forum but, the LSR I crew chief...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Laugh it up brothers, one year of not spending $5 bills received in change. Paid for a pistol Springfield 1911, Winchester 44-40 rifle and weekend at the Drag Races in Vegas.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Along with the leaks from the Xfer case’s tail shaft and front differential output shaft seals, I discovered an inordinate amount of leakage from what seems to be either the Power Steering Pump, its lines or the steering gear. I added a little UV dye to the fluid, degreased and sprayed brake...

    Pulling Right While Braking. Caliper Sticking? K1500

    Having sorted out the leaking front differentials leaking, I finally took the opportunity to conduct a test drive. Truck follows the road crown a little but, now it’s equal. No more pulling hard right. Heat gun indicates both rotors are the same temperature after a five mile drive so, I’m...

    CV Axle Seperation

    Looked under the truck this morning and noticed a puddle of fresh gear oil from the front differential. Trying not to panic or lose my cool I crawled under to do so inspection. There wasn't anything coming from the new seal but there was a drip forming at the drain plug. Guess I should have...

    CV Axle Seperation

    Finally! Success as I got the output shaft removed this morning. Using a ball peen I whacked it inwards a few times while rotating the shaft. Just trying to tap tap tapping outwards afterwards didn’t work so I a got a lot more “energetic” and, as the old Scotsman beach master said in 'Longest...

    CV Axle Seperation

    @Big T suggested instead of tapping/bashing outwards from the onset, I should give it a smack or two inwards. Right after that suggestion I saw a video on removing a stuck output shaft about doing the same. Painful narration aside, he succeeded by tapping it inwards, rotate 90* and rinse and...

    CV Axle Seperation

    Ribs have been feeling better so yesterday I got the brake calipers replaced. Assembled tools and rachet straps etc. to go after that persnickety output shaft. Tried the technique in this video first (starts about the 1:04 min mark) to no avail. Regardless of rotation, angle, effort of...

    Pulling Right While Braking. Caliper Sticking? K1500

    Thanks. The Pads and Rotors were changed last fall and I had a run in issue then but, I’ll do another ‘run in’ session just for grins and giggles once its is back on the road.

    Pulling Right While Braking. Caliper Sticking? K1500

    New calipers arrived. Install was pretty straight forward. Sprung for powder coated units so had to remove some off one edge to get the clearance for them to fit. Other wise, no issues. Frau came out to work the brake pedal to complete bleeding process. Brake pedal is very firm now, even...

    96 timing issue possibly

    “He who dares, Wins!” Sometimes (mostly on my case) its a consolation prize though.

    CV Axle Seperation

    Decided to go after the front differential who’s driver’s side output shaft seal was damaged last summer when I suffered yet another C/V shaft issue. It’s been drip drip dripping ever since. I acquired a replacement front differential assy from a parts yard and have been waiting to get after...

    Pulling Right While Braking. Caliper Sticking? K1500

    Back from a great road trip last week and started in on house / car projects. Bruised or cracked two ribs…ouch. Pause everything. Week later, I went under the truck yesterday to work on a couple of issues. As for the calipers… Pulled the old one and, sure enough, there’s a lot of rust on the...
