Jake's is over $200.00 with shipping. This looks like three $1.29 switches, and some wire to extend a spare cut down trans harness. All of which I already have. Jake has already told me that line pressure runs full tilt with his setup. This guy says his does also. Overheat of the fluid is...

Saw this posted on youtube, thought it was pretty interesting. He put a 4L80E behind a carbureted small block in an earlier truck, wired up the tranny to switches and shifts it that way, without a computer. Gives a pretty good explanation in the video of how it all works in conjunction with the...

Will be celebrating the fifth anniversary of the purchase of the dually in a couple weeks. In all this time, I have never had a working heater. Now that the A/C is in need of some work I decided to restore the entire "climate control" system I put in a new core to be safe, but I'm at a bit...

Since the Diesel is still down, I started getting the gasser ready for some holiday travel. It's a short 1/2 ton. 5.0L gas, nv3500 manual trans. Bought it in mid Sept. 130K on the clock Wednseday night......... New heater core, flushed cooling system, new stat. Checked, adjusted brakes...

Well, I fixed the oil drain tube leak. Let the truck idle for 25 mins ouside to make sure it wasnt leaking. When I looked under there injector #8 was now leaking. The guy at the shop got the replacements for the first four leakers this morning. Marked BWD, made in China. I told him to get Bosch...

HE got them from Advance. He is warranting them for 6 mos.

Sorry guys, between the truck and work been tied down a bit. Yes, It had been started by the time I got there the following morning which made me a bit uneasy since I wasnt there to see how they had managed it. To answer a few questions from earlier. The lift pump is only a few months old...

repairs. How tuff is it to get them bled of air? Just keep it cranking til it fires? or is there a short cut, or something else that should be checked? Truck is in the hands of a diesel "mechanic". When I happened by this afternoon to check on progress they were trying to get it started, had...

Got the air out, at least been driving for a week now. Assuming the air is gone after that much time. Still running well, but. The 36 persists. Codes more often when ac is on. Fuel batch was same as when...

36, pulse width long. A bit more info. Racor was running a 30 micron element for past year+. Was running a 2 micron before that, with no ill effects other than they clogged a bit quicker. The only element I could get my hands on locally was a 10 micron(R20T), and of course replaced the FFM...

Budget's limited, and getting moreso. Trying to get use from the collection of spares I've gathered over the years. I dont mind manual shifting, hence the thoughts on Jake's, much cheaper than an optishift. The trouble with the mechanical conversion is the 4x4 factor with mine. The speed...

Yes, I believe that is the case. But in my situation, I'm trying to get rid of the electronics, in the easiest way possible (short of getting rid of the truck)

I have a good running 6.2 "J" code motor. Was installing into my '70 GMC project(already sitting on the frame with 700r4 attached). The recent continuing problems with the old 6.5 in the dually (at over 260K, estimated) has me thinking a swap might be a good idea. The 4l80e seems to be...

Have the same issue. Located a tranny from a big block gasser, '95 vintage. What needs to be "modified" to swap it in? TIA.

Forgot about the bleeder at the ffm being before the filter. Gotta order the Racor primary tomorrow, and will be Wednesday before I got time to get to the truck again. If I can find time, I'll do the ffm filter tomorrow. The grounds at back of passenger head, and dipstick were shined up right...

Truck's at home again.....other half got fed up and bought a Hyundai:WTF: Fuel literally gushes out of the bleeder with the lift pump running, so thinking I can rule out filters (Racor is about 6 months with a 20 micron primary before the lift) filter manager is about 7 months. Will probably...

Well, dead on side of road waiting for the hook again. Died once, same symptoms as before. no fuel to injectors. Got fuel going there again, started up got three more blocks. Dead and no go from here. Codes 13, again.......and 81,82,83 all transmission related......Would those cause...

Well, did a fair amount of driving yesterday..... I know my tranny is shot, so the code 68 recurrance is no surprise. No other codes returned.......but the truck still runs like crap. Fishbite at a hard accel, or pulling a steep grade(the toll bridges here, otherwise terrain is flat as...

I did the locking gas cap on mine, drilled out the center vent, never been an issue. What Pavel posted is pretty much what I got. I was concerned about seeing what was actually 0.09v at one of the pins on the PMD harness. I had 11.93, and 5.07 for the other reads. After bringing the batteries...

I'll search for a tutorial on doing a plunger-ectomy. Hopefully it can be reversed if that isnt the problem. About the ignition switch......earlier this year, after another failed starter, about fifth in a row going away like clockwork every six months, I replaced the ign switch. Something...
