OK much appreciated, Mike...I'll see what I can come up with.

Well no....kid are goats, we have children ;)

Hey thanks much on the congrats! Children are a blessing for sure. OK, I've seen some of the shuttles with 12-13k hours on them. Should I stay away from something with that high of hours? Know of any reputable re-builders?

Gents: I'm in the market for a 7.3 shuttle bus for my ever growing family (http://www.ourfullhouse.com/home/14-babies/652-titus-jackson-redman-is-born.html) << baby number 11 is born on the 2nd of Feb. Anyway, I've been looking at the Champion/International 3400 chassis with the 7.3 (open...

Just received this: "Hello Andrew, The military only uses mechanical injector pumps. We are almost to the end of our 6.5 engines. If the engine you are replacing have an electronic injector pump, just transfer it over to the new engine. The engines available: Center Mount Turbo 6.5's 2250.00...

A number of you have given me some very valuable input on the various issues that I've had with the suburban over the past few months, and for that I'm quite grateful. What I'd like now is some feedback on what you would do if you were in my situation. The suburban continues to decline in how...

Quick education please...where is the 5V PCM bus?

List of woe's increasing. Started burb the other day and it ran fine. Driving down the road it decided not to shift and any amount/variation of throttle pushing didn't do anything, not even revving up. Drifted off road and shut her down. Started back up and she ran without issue. More...can...

Interestingly enough, the IP was put in new prior to myself purchasing the vehicle. Perhaps the PO wasn't be honest with me about that...but it surely looked new. I did have to time it correctly after purchasing it though. Perhaps the IP isn't calibrated correctly vs. the FS being defective? Per...

Point of clarification...I was only able to crank it 4 times at less than 10 seconds per crank cycle. The batts are quite old and just died. The black smoke was because I gunned it in ATL traffic :) So when I gunned it, the puff and dying. As a note I've driven it approx 50 miles today without...

Update: Charged batts, checked FM to ensure fuel was flowing...it was. Forgot that the GP and SES light had been coming on, so realized the ECM fuse must be OK. It started right up without issue. So...again I was driving, pumped the peddle hard and black smoke...like popped the peddle and it...

Thanks for the response, Missy. On the ECM...where would that fuse be located?

Morning: Driving to the FOX Theater in Atlanta last night for an event, we were 5 mins from arrival when I accelerated, black smoke resulted, and it just died. I was unable to get it started. I put in the spare PMD and nothing. I'm thinking fuel pump or pump relay. Seems to be to be a fuel...

Purple wire... Can anyone potentially identify this spliced, but unterminated purple wire?

Just checked with old PMD. Injection pulse width error still there...but the old one introduces other DTC's. One thing I'll mentioned...ever since we replaced the computer module, getting it to connect to the software has been a major challenge. Testing the connection proves successful, but...
