Next project - fuel mizer Suburban
Ok boys and girls, what would you do next?
We took a gas 5.7L suburban, bought all new diesel wire harnesses ('99 vintage), flashed a '99 program in pcm, and stuffed a 6.5L in it. See signature for details.
Current status; starts, runs drives, but has a few issues;
1. Wait to start light is off while glows are lit, then comes on when glows go off.
2. Security light is on.
3. Will not shift up into overdrive.
4. Tranny lets things rev up then shifts hard as though it's in a limp home mode? All wires from pcm to tranny pass continuity test.
I suspect we'll have to buy some sort of diagnostic tool. I thought I'd pose the situation in hopes we've missed something obvious.
Other clues;
The tranny was from a '96 vintage 6.5L 3/4 pickup.
The dash harness was new but had to be converted from auto 4wd to push button 4wd.
So many things assembled at once and thus multiple problems may be in play.
I've traced and verified all the gear vender connections and modifications around the vssb. Vehicle speed seems to read correctly.
Any thoughts and or suggestions welcome.
Not sure if this is a post for 6.5L, diesel conversion, electronics???
