    had a bad day today!!

    I'm sorry for your loss ghitch! TD took my words out of my mouth(fingers), I also think he was there to see the ceremony. I was at a funeral last week for my girlfriends granddad and those were my thoughts then. I'm sure he is in a good place and has found peace. Treasure his memory and he...

    4L80E TCC solenoid, revisited

    Approximately what duty cycle would the pcm use under unloaded cruise conditions? I'm thinking this would be a place where it could be a great project to use a little programmable chip that took the pcm signal as input and modifyed it according to some switches and/or pots as inputs. But I...

    4L80E TCC solenoid, revisited

    Sooo... If you want to have a TCC lockup on the soft lockup solenoids you would best go with an oscillating circuit with a pulse width(and frequency) that resembles what the pcm puts out at max? Bit more complex then a simple switch but shouldn't be too offputting right?

    $4300 Repair Bill

    Biggest problem is not the wrench know how, biggest problem is that I only have one vehicle and if I run into a problem that requires me to go to a parts store or the likes I have to put it all back together again first. I did my last brake job at least three times due to sockets that cracked...

    $4300 Repair Bill

    Ofcourse it might be the pmd but I would expect it to get worse by time then, and in the beginning of this issue injector cleaning additives helped and cleared the issue a few times. Wouldn't help the pmd much would it? And it is a fsd as it isn't pump mounted anymore! =)

    Best fluid for 4l80e

    How would the Royal Purple ATF be in these? That's what I was thinking about putting in there next time..

    $4300 Repair Bill

    I'm feeling for ya. I'm in a bit of a pinch myself also as my ip is busted also. My truck is still within the warranty period BUT it seems it has been imported outside of regular GM import channels to our country and if it is the dealers won't do it under warranty. They want about 1150$ for...

    Battery ponderings

    I forgot.. Why wouldn't a battery separator relay do any good. Only time the batteries are separated is when the engine is off and there is no charging. Charge = parallel. And you can hook them together by a switch before cranking. This way they are charged and used in parallel, but when...

    Battery ponderings

    hehe, two new ones are inevitable I guess. But I was thinking about how to minimize the trouble with the new ones. I don't think Interstate batteries are available around here(Norway). Still kinda curious about the big bad single one though. If I can get it to fit physically a single...

    Battery ponderings

    Hi I haven't been around here for a while, but the truck gently "reminds" me about coming here by throwing some more problems at me so here I am. ;) This should maybe be in the "electrical" forum but there are mostly dmax guys out there in the big world and I don't know if there is same...

    Greetings from Norway

    Cattle mostly stay at the farm here and don't get moved around a lot. I'm not allowed to haul anything more then the dry weight of the pickup on the drivers licence I got. If I want to pull the weight the manufacturer say it can pull I need the same licence you need to pull a big rig. And on...

    Greetings from Norway

    Yeah, he's a big boy. Got some power in his hind legs as well I discovered when he bucked and hit me in my thigh once.. I think they mostly use medium duty or big rigs for transportation of cattle and such. We don't have the same haul it yourself culture here it seems, never seen a pickup...

    Greetings from Norway

    I've seen 3 horse slant trailers here with a regular bumper pull but they have also been on the expensive side. Only dreaming of something else really, as mentioned the wallet (or the credit card ;) )is not ready for any upgrades! I think its hard to get gooseneck trailers approved for use...

    Greetings from Norway

    There are quite a few, see lots of them around here anyway. Highest density of them in farming areas (like here)I believe. Been thinking of getting a horse trailer from over there at times, most are only two horse trailers around here and it would be nice to have something a little bigger...

    Greetings from Norway

    Thanx for the warm welcome guys! Sad but true!? :wink5: There is a fair share of visually pleasing female scenery here but I'm sure you got them over there as well!

    Greetings from Norway

    Hi I've been a long time periodic dieselplace stalker, most of the stuff I've been there for could be found through the search engine in one way or another so there hasn't been very much posting going on but I really liked the place. Discovered this place through Tim TurbineDoc's farewell...
