    pulling the exhaust manifolds out a 1/4inch

    last time i check the balance rates, they were 2.3 +or minus 2. this is what i don't understand. i don't have access to a tech 2 or v2. that was why loosening exhaust manifold might be easiest and cheapest way to find injector. for sure way which one. has anyone ever done it?

    shift cable causing 4-3 downshift and binding

    thanks for everyones response. truck shifts thru gears great and transfer case is quiet and goes in and out of all ranges. just one question. the column shift is a little off. when shifting out of park, the shift lever like pops or jumps out of park towards reverse and goes to like a...

    shift cable causing 4-3 downshift and binding

    shift cable causing 4-3 downshift and binding

    it isn't my business for sure. wish it was. the transfer case that i needed was a np 263 xhd and they knew exactly which one i needed. they knew all about the pump rub issue, that some ran out of fluid and burnt up, they put the pump rub kit in it, said they put new bushings and other items...

    shift cable causing 4-3 downshift and binding

    i didn't find any metal in the transmission pan yesterday. not much clutch material either. with 177,000 miles on the truck and with the tranny shifting good before and after slowdown and just normal use, does it seam like a good idea to just put it back together and drive it? not abusive to...

    shift cable causing 4-3 downshift and binding

    i never thought to take a magnet to them. will do this morning, they were barely the size of a grain of fine sand. couldn't have been more than 5-7 pieces. i don't know if that makes it serious enough for a rebuild. the clutch material couldn't be seen but if you ran your finger thru the...

    shift cable causing 4-3 downshift and binding

    i forgot to add that the limp mode never showed on dash. do transmissions just do fluke things every once in a while? truck has 175,000 miles and first half of life previous owner pulled horse trailers and now its just a truck. the reason I'm concern is that since my stroke it has been hard...

    Where are my professional body men?

    As a retired gm painter, you will have to blend. The factory never puts enough color on, never enough color to completely cover the sealer. Reason being cause of emissions. More color, more emissions.. You are actually seeing part of the sealer or the color of the base underneath the base...

    Battery Tender

    Check the batteries with a load tester. Could be week. Most good batteries can sit for a month and not have problems. Bet your batteries are getting old and weak. Replace both batteries when you do.

    how old are the batteries? sounds like what mine did with one dead battery. also make sure the posts and cables are clean.
