    Instrument cluster confusion

    Thanks d, I believe that’s part number ending in 45 isn’t the right one. Glaguator on the Diesel Place got me the right number. Ordered one on eBay. Thank you for the offer. When I get this GP light working it might help me troubleshoot my other problem of intermittent cut out. Yea I have two...

    Instrument cluster confusion

    Yes I agree why so complicated? Why not leave the “Glow Plug” marking off for the trucks that don’t have them. Also never saw any “Wait To Start” markings. Very confusing.

    Engine cuts out in reverse

    Hi all, I’m back on here working on my truck doing the stutter after startup. I do have another thread started about my instrument cluster. I’ll probably be jumping back and forth between the threads. Ok you all recommended checking all the grds. and wiring harnesses. I have checked the grds...

    Instrument cluster confusion

    Yea buddy that’s what I thought too, yea they also may have changed the the front black screen to get the WTS light symbol on there. My cluster has 16176841 stamped on the ribbon see pic you can also see the “Glow Plug” and “Upshift” stamps also if you zoom in. All the clusters I see on eBay...

    Instrument cluster confusion

    Thanks d, unfortunately I don’t have a pic of the wire that was added between the 2 sockets. The cluster is back in. I do have an Automatic trans. The red line I drew represents the wire that was soldered on top of the bulb twist socket. It even melted the plastic on the twist sockets. A real...

    Instrument cluster confusion

    Hi all I’m trying to get “Wait to Start” light working. According to my owners manual I shouldn’t even have a WTS light just a GP light. There are a couple of stickers on the cluster not sure what they mean. The WTS light was working before. I pulled the cluster and found a wire on the GP light...

    Engine cuts out in reverse

    Hi all here are some more videos. One is of the clear return line and the other two are Tech 2 data and battery voltage on start up and when the event happens. Hope you can make it out. Still working on getting the WTS light to work. I wish I could narrow down the event of being a...

    Tech2 scanner

    Hi guys, I’ve been out in the garage checking the truck out and taking videos. I believe I went through all the grounds, all good. Ran the truck and wiggle tested all the harnesses on the truck, no hiccups. Took some videos of the clear return line at the IP. Also in the cab with the Tech2...

    Tech2 scanner

    Thanks Will, you might be on to something. I turned the parking lights on in my dark garage before the first start up of the day and the event happened along with the dash lights blinking. I have touched a lot of ground connections during the engine and trans. swap. And dash removal. I have...

    Tech2 scanner

    The IP is the second one from Quadstar. The fist one was defective. The second one was rebuilt and bench tested. I do still have the working original one. Maybe I’ll put that one back on for a test. But I believe it was also doing the same thing. I remember seeing the wait to start lamp blink...

    Tech2 scanner

    Thanks dena, my truck is a 95’ OBD 1 I’m using a Tech 2 on it. Will it work on a OBD 1 ? Maybe that could be the problem of my scanner disconnecting.

    Tech2 scanner

    Thanks guys, the scanner came w/ 2 power feeds the lighter and battery cables. I’ve tried both. The batteries are recently new and the truck cranks over pretty fast but I’ll check loads. I’ll try hooking the scanner power feeds to a remote battery not hooked to the truck. Someone said it could...

    Tech2 scanner

    Hi all, I’m trying to use my scanner to diagnose an engine cutting out after start up. Just a fast little hiccup . I want to see what’s the IP is doing when it happens right after startup. After inputting truck data and starting it up, the scanner disconnects and I have to re-enter data again...
