I'm bringing this thread back from the dead. I experienced something similar to this and after a transmission shop sold me on having my tranny rebuilt and still having problems, it ended up being the transfer cases shift fork. Turns out the transfer case I had had an older style fork that...

don't forget to remove your serpentine belt otherwise you'll just have your water pump pushing around the coolant. I've got to get around to doing mine also... I've been waiting for good weather and I think it's warm enough here now.

Your response had me thinking for a while! Then realized a comma was missing.

Good to know! Thanks everyone!

Since I replaced the stock turbo for an A-team turbo about a year and a half ago, would the regular TTY bolts be fine or should I look into upgrading?

If torque to yield bolts have a problem with stretching, would it be wise to use ARP head studs? Would it even be possible without removing the motor on a 94 K2500 pickup? FellowTraveler, regular TTY head bolts already come with sealant on the threads right? Not sure about the heads studs...

For what it's worth, I did plugin my GMTDScan tech and it wouldn't read the trouble codes. It kept giving me INVALID PCM RESPONSE. I had this happen before so I did the paperclip method with the accelerator and brake pedals pressed to clear the codes. I didn't bother to wait for what codes...

haven't experienced it since the 1st day. I'll keep an eye out for it though.

Picked up my truck in Norfolk, VA after shipping it out about 40 days before hand. When I drove it, I noticed that it liked to drop out of OD constantly and of course my MPG suffered. I think I only had about 95 miles on the trip meter when the fuel level needle hit the full line. The...

The hose sure has a lot of clearance when it's installed properly!

Used this one recently: OPS connector jumper to bypass a failed OPS. Take note that this will peg out your oil pressure gauge. The paperclip is also handy to pull the DTC codes from the ALDL port.

During the beginning years of owning my truck, the AAA Premier membership was put to good use.
