Guess I know what I’m doing Saturday

After its blown out and replaced/rebuilt of course

Correct me if I’m wrong but I could cap the holes in the existing radiator and plumb the trans lines to a separate cooler and never worry about it again right?

Antifreeze still looks green from what I can see. I bought the truck from a 19 year old kid who claims it was never in water. But the yoke on the rear end also has bolts snapped off in it. Water in transmission plus busted u joint bolts to me seem related but I could be wrong

No temp gauge I bought it drove it on a trailer and off the trailer and here we are lol

I guess to add how are you guys scanning these obd1 computers? Everything I can find for odb1 is a code reader which basically does the same thing as using a paper clip.

Fluid isn’t burnt at all and no I don’t own a scanner but if someone can recommend one that won’t destroy my bank account it would be appreciated. This is the only OBD1 vehicle I own

Hey guys I picked up a 1994 Chevy 2500 with the 6.5 diesel. I got it cheap due to a mysterious transmission issue. It has the 4l80e and it refuses to go into overdrive or exceed 40mph. I pulled the codes and got 73 81 and 82 and if I’m correct are all transmission related solenoid codes. I’m...
