Well I just pulled our newly purchased 35 ft 9000lbs fifth wheel back from KS city, 245 miles, and the replacement input shaft and pilot bearing failed. I'm gonna start the repair process with a new thread on building a beefed up NV4500 that can handle 5th gear cruising at high weights. I would...

Hey all, While out on the highway I tested this again to be sure I couldn't duplicate it with my foot. I was wrong, when I pull my foot off the pedal as fast as I possibly can it's the same as when you cut the cruise. I think this might be normal system operation. I guess I just never...

Do the Variable Voltage check on the APPS. All you need is a multimeter and the truck in the run position IIRC. Its not that hard if you can get under the steering wheel.

I like the term "troubleguessing" to "throwing parts at it." Just kidding. It's only when out of cruise. It takes place in second at most, stick shifter bounces to the side and back and it even makes kind of a rough jerk. I replaced both motor and the trans mounts which helped with the noise...

Hey All, I have a 1994 F vin K3500 that comes out of cruise control really rough. That is when I have the cruise set, and I tap the brakes throttle goes from cruise power instantly to idle. I think you might already know, but with 4:10 rear and the NV4500 up front you can feel the instant...

13.8 MPG 13.8 MPG! IDK how, but 13.8 hauling a 2900 pound 11.5 foot slide-in cabover camper through the canadian rockies, 13.8 empty on I-35. 13 point fricken 8!!!

Aces, How about the voltage check of the resisters in the APPS with the key in run, and the multimeter looking for smooth voltage transistion when slowly putting the throttle down?

Help!! We are heading south to Kansas and we are in dire need of a place to do some repairs. We are currently in Prince George BC. I believe we have a carrier bearing gone bad and also a vacuum pump going out. I already have the vacuum pump, and should be able to pic up the bearing kit at...

Hey All Living in the camper now waiting to head down the ALCAN. Dont have any real Internet. I wanted to put a post in here. I went to the dealer and got a seal from them to see if it was different that the one at NAPA. I see where you all are coming from now. Bottom line, the one from...

NICE! well I wonder why it leaked before and after now! Like expecting a tire to stay on without the lug nuts. When I R2 it, I gave it a long hard look and wondered if it was that easy, Like thats all that seals it, no wonder these things leak!

I got to be missing something? When I put in the seal, I was able to slide it on with my fingers. It was just a rubber ring with a spring IIRC. Is it supposed to have something that needs to be driven in like the front crank seal in the timing cover? I didn't have to hammer anything. I just...

Thank you Slim Shady Thank you so much for your reply. Is your crossmember above or below the bottom lip of your frame? Mine is setting on top of the bottom frame lip,(aka it can sit there holding up the back of the drivechain without the bolts.) Is it supposed to be under the frame with...

I recently finished a good amount of work on my truck including R2 the rear main oil seal. Seemed great for a a while. Now clutch chatter is back worse than before and my bell housing is wet with a few drops here and there. I think I lost 2 quarts of oil in about 1000 miles. You can put the...

I just spent $120 at the dealer for 5 quarts of the GM stuff. Says synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid on the bottle. Part # 12346190, which replaces the previously used 2 part numbers(it calls for 4 qts of fluid then a pint of some other fluid, probally friction additive for the syncros or...

Thanks! We just put our camper in the bed. Turned the first corner without any roll and knew getting this truck was the right choice. Gotta love the duals!
