SOLVED! Several of the YouTube videos suggested fuse #4. I pulled it out and looked at it. It didn't LOOK blown! Mechanic "interviewed" me for clues to what I had done while "playing" with my truck, myself. I told him about the new camera setup I installed (which I love!)
He called me a...
Poor baby!!! Thanx for the reply. I haven't had anyone look at it to give me a price. Would you say that process would be less than a new paint job?
Say what they will about NJ but guess what, we have some of the best laws in the US and there are no extremes of weather. I saw something about a...
Hi ak diesel driver, we've talked before. You helped me get my 2000 6.5 3500 running. It used to shut off and wouldn't start for me. It turned out I had to replace all the wiring devices in my steering column. I sold it and broke even where before that I had a (valuable) unsellable hulk in my...
Clue: At the same time I noticed it not charging I also noticed that my DRL headlights aren't working.
I'm wondering what might knock out both circuits.
Clue #2: I started the truck and moved it out of the garage, up to the house to load it up. It was okay.
I shut it off and ran into the house...
Now I have another problem. On cold mornings it runs real rough and I smell gas out the exhaust until it warms-up then it runs terrific, just like new. It's giving me a code for the MAF or MAP. I changed the Idle Air Control Valve because it was the cheaper of the two but nothing. I guess I'll...
Thanx for all your help, Fermanator. I worked on that baby and finally got it straightened-out. After looking at it sitting in my garage for (what would have been) FOUR years this Fall, I sold it. I was able to salvage some of the thousands of dollars I had invested in it! Several...
Question: I also checked my Sierra and Equinox while I was out in the dark. The Sierra (whose A/C is working great) has a mess of dye around the in-and-out ports of the compressor (but I think it's residual because this truck is holding its freon) I think I remember spilling some dye when I...
I went out there last night (in the dark) and threw the black light on the truck. The AC compressor is leaking all around its belly. There's dye around the accumulator switches and they even appear to have sprayed dye forward on top of the air filter housing. (unless I sprayed some out when I...
This doesn't SAY it needs a UV light but I will get one (they only cost 10 bucks)
Red Angel has a money-back guarantee. Maybe I should take-them-up-on-their-offer. I wouldn't expect to see them send me my $35 back but it's worth a try.
When they changed the motor they hooked everything up but they didn't get the AC working. I never bothered with it all the time I had it because I don't really care about AC. But one guy asked me (I decided to sell it since I don't use it anymore to tow) if the AC worked and I thought I ought...
HOLY COW! I just finished it. It took me a damn week! It was a leaky wheel cylinder on the right rear. Every thing I put a wrench on BROKE! I replaced brake line, wheel cylinder, and shoes. Sounds easy when you say it fast. Pulling apart full-floating dual-wheel rear without a lift...not...
Thanx Fermanator: One curiosity: I took it into my oil change shop because I was driving-by and noticed they weren't busy. Rather than deal with the mess, I let them do it. Now, they give it a going-over to see if anything's amiss and noted that the brake fluid was low (but they didn't add...
