John...thanks for the input. I believe there is a Napa store close to my work that will check the heads for me. I'll make sure to clean them real good before taking them over.

Also, are the driveworks or gmb water pumps any good?

I have a few questions that I'm trusting I can get some input to help me make a few good decisions. 1. I am getting this trouble code: DTC 85 - Transmission Gear - Other than the 85 being a transmission gear error, what would be the potential causes. The code doesn't occur all the time, but...

Any thoughts for me to consider? Appreciated, Andy

Update: The vehicle seems to be running well over all. I am constantly getting the Injection Pulse Width Error...but it's not running poorly at this point. It's just more annoying that the SES comes on frequently because of that error. I have two main issues that I'm trying to work with now...

Can anyone tell me where the fuel solenoid is? [edit] ok scratch that...just put a new PMD on the truck, which I guess is technically an FSD...being that it's a remote kit.

Reading other threads, some of the input is that this may relate to an alternator issue. Now, the ALT is 6 months old, but is a gasser pully. Do you think it possible that having the gasser pully could be causing a voltage issue with it spinning faster? I've not payed much attention to the...

Additional Note: I posted prior that I was getting a DTC 36 Injection pulse width error (response time long). I've started using either 2cycle or non-detergent 30w oil (1 qrt/35 gallons). I'm still getting this particular error, but mostly when accelerating.

Thanks much, Louis :) It seems that we're working really hard to get all the air out of the system. Just took a long drive and stopped a dozen times to let out air. Just got home and have opened the system to let the cooling of the system purge out the air as the coolant gets sucked in. To...

Pleased Today Jon and I finished the install of the harmonic balancer. I'm quite pleased with how the engine responded with the replacement. Quite a bit of vibration dissipated. The old HB was dry rotted, so we were pleased that we invested the time to make the change. Thanks to Mangus580...

Today Jon and I pulled the radiator. I'll post a few pics up tomorrow of what we saw. Anyway, we've cleaned it thoroughly, flushing out the entire system. There was certainly enough gunk to prevent the fan clutch from realizing that it needed to be on. As a note, we've never had the fan come on...

On a serious note though, I'll be pulling the radiator and cleaning that and the oil cooler/air etc. I still dont know if I'm bleeding compression into the cooling system, but will be verifying that this weekend.

I can make my way up to NY and deal with you ;)

I do believe that you're quite right. The PowerService did nothing to quiet down the engine. I'm impressed with the 2 cycle.

Hmm...thinking about this...if I use the veggie oil, I'll then be putting 2x's the amount of 2 cycle, which in effect is costing me the same, right. But, I'll be saving a quart of diesel fuel with the added quart of veggie vs. a 2 cycle addition. This would account for it being even cheaper. In...

Great input...thanks much.

I believe that the TCC was always locking up. It was really more a lack of understanding and experience with the vehicle to know the feel of it locking up. Coupled with the issue of the incorrect ALT pulley, it threw me off. I've noticed some fish-biting still after the new PMD, but it has...

Hmm...for a brake switch, any old brake switch recommended, such as from Advanced or NAPA?

No sir, don't believe so. I think I've got the "feeling" of the TCC locking in...now, I've not noticed it lately but the son did when he was out with the wife the other day. I'll drive it some more and see if it continues or settles down.

I believe that the TCC must be locking, as I doubt I'd be at 2025@60mph without it. I was just being fooled with the gasser pulley on the ALT. The PO told me he had a new ALT installed a while before I got it...makes good sense. Thanks for the input on the 2 cycle...will pick some of that up for...
