Can you see any wear in the pedal causing this? Removing the add on carpet help? The fix you have concerns me as there are many recalls on vehicles for the floormat jamming the throttle open. I recall the OEM floormat for these years was pretty thin rubber. It doesn't hurt to go over a...

Don't Do Drugs, Son! All our other "Drive By Wire" vehicles are NUMB. Some Drugs make you NUMB just like the lack of any feel on electronic throttles. This here 1993 only lacks "Feel" from a shift cable going to the transmission so you can't feel the edge of when it's going to downshift. You...

Make sure your tach is still accurate as GM's infinite stupidity used a larger diameter pulley on a lower RPM diesel to charge two batteries. A gas engine pulley on the alternator will read fast. You might be able to still get your core back and pulley swapped if needed. There are several...

Yes, you need WAGONEER or TAHOE spelled out in giant letters and be close enough to read it to tell the difference between them now... The rear seat comfort has come a long way in the designs of the big three as more and more Boomers are driven around by their adult kids.

You can go buy a Brand New 2024 Diesel Tahoe TODAY with a warranty. The other two of what was known as the Big Three have dropped diesels like hot potatoes for good reason. Except 3/4+ ton pickups of course.

As mentioned you need to lube the caliper pins often on a RAM. All 4! I did the rear pins on mine even though I was just doing the front pads. Some were dry already. Autozone's krap trashing a rotor when the pad came unbonded is here in the carnage thread. I pumped the brakes, because the...

Read the above post about the VSSB and quit chasing your tail for an ECM!

Cable won't solve that problem. Gears are not able to mesh until they move and align is what's hanging the motor or thermal actuator up. It will hang a cable as well.

96+ with the compressor on the driver side of the engine just like yours is now. I forget if the t stat housing needs to be changed and if you need the rare 1996 with a DB2 and cruise control. A detail you need to triple check before buying parts. The 88-95 serp belt drive have the POS R4...

So it ran at one point. The 1985 rods didn't change the compression ratio. It may have changed another way, but, for now we should assume it's standard high compression. The raw diesel smell and miss could be a bad glow plug. Loss of compression, bent valve, rocker arm come off etc. Video of...

All I can think of is the crankshaft doesn't have the proper depth for the converter. I assume it wasn't like this before. You are only replacing the engine OR are you doing both the engine and transmission? I was assuming engine only being changed. I see the bevel for the starter gear toward...

Since your here ... inspect the harness connector solder joints (to the board) for cracking. Do take the old ignition switch apart, but, only after you feel the problem is solved.

Looks like @Will L. post is accidentally confusing. There should be no "bearing" in the end of the crankshaft. The pilot bearing is for manual transmissions only, however, if it's put in by mistake or left in after a rebuild it's a problem with the automatic trans Torque Converter, TC. The...

Get a voltmeter on the ECM power and ground pins esp if it's broken now. Back probe em.

No, you don't! You are going to run out of clearance with this disaster of a fix and trash the thrust bearing in the engine and/or transmission pump and the converter. (Severe damage to the rest of engine and/or transmission from the debris will quickly follow.) Under some operating conditions...

Save your money. It's likely not the ECM. You are loosing power to the ECM either by bad ground or bad +12V to the ECM. A connector problem at the ECM could be hidden for a time by swapping the ECM till it comes back. As it's acting up, now, you should verify voltage to the ECM. If you must...

The converter can move back and forth some. Is it bound up where it won't move? Possible there is a bearing for a MT left in the crankshaft?

Downpipe is easy. It's wrapping the manifolds that was hard. You need good bands to wrap it to hold the wrap on. The wrap on my crossover came loose then off without enough stainless wraps used.

Any codes? Normal but note: SES may illuminate on low RPM or stalling, but, if the engine RPM comes back up it goes back out. Glow plugs on a hot engine make me want to check power to the ECM including grounds and bad batteries. However if the key wasn't "OFF" for 30 seconds the ECM was still...

My UOA showed a need to change the oil at 2500 miles when towing. 3000 miles was oil failure. After installing Gapless Rings, that the subject engine has, I was good for 5,000 miles. I didn't have any fancy bypass filter; just the OEM oil filter. Again the oil failure had to be from something...
