If that's all you got that's not a big deal at all. Looks like they unhooked the blackout switch and hooked it directly to the fuse box...not how I would have done it but ok. I see it next to a 5 amp fuse...I'd pull it and see if it is...headlights need 25 amps...be curious which fuse is feeding...
Using a manual switch is nice if the card is bad or the system needs help once in a while to get going. It's very simple to do...just ground the wire and the relay turns on. Cards are out there still so you can get a good one.

The fun part of these is figuring out what the other owners did before. One thing about the wiring is it is extremely simple. Not that many wires to play with. If you haven't found the wiring in the tm yet it will be in the sticky at the beginning of the cucv stuff. Good to have.

I get people doing a swap but I got a 5$ box of 100 o rings that repair these. The water sensor leaks. Easy fix. I've got 4 of these trucks. The swap is around 50$...I save 195$ by keeping the box filter. I've collected at least a dozen of the filters from people that don't know how much they...
It sounds like pr buzz...old trans slang for pressure relief valve...it's in the front pump...be right at the front of the bell housing. Wonder if you unhook the modulator valve from vacuum if it stops. If fluid comes out it's bad!

So you feel like moving here US for a month with that thing and get it all fixed up?? LOL just kidding....LMC has the 2 springs plus the rubber stoppers that go on the inside for soft opening. Part number 18 and 19.

See if you turn it off all the way to see if it'll lock the steering wheel. It should lock. If not changing the cylinder takes 2 pullers. One for the wheel and one for the spring lock under the horn. Not hard and not expensive.

So the new green machine had this weird morning starting issue where is it start and run for about 5 seconds then shut off. Had to crank it several times before it would finally start and run for most of the day. If it sat for about 5 hours it would repeat again. My first move was to replace the...
Look on Facebook for a guy named Mike Morin...he has at least a dozen trucks and blazers torn apart or for sale. He'd have the dash, engine harness, starter and alternator. If you tell him what your doing he'll make sure you get what you need. Be easy to just pop a new harness in it than trying...
Yup can take it out in the truck. Yes the check balls will come out but the ones in the valve body stay in it and the ones in the case should stay in if you leave the top plate bolted in. It's a very messy job but not hard. The check balls would have to go in where the kit said so not the stock...
Ok...if it's shifting that hard then it's definitely not a modulator issue. To mild it out you'd have to drop the valve body and put the mild colored springs from the kit in. Looks like they popped the pressure valve out and swapped it too. Without the kit part number it's hard to guess exactly...
You can reach gen 1 light without taking the cluster out from under the dash...not to tight under there. 194 bulb is what I normally put in there.

So post pics of what's left of the transgo kit plus it's number. Shifting wise 15 mph into 2nd and 35 into 3rd is about normal with light throttle. Does it shift higher with more throttle? Define harsh...like bang shift or just firm. What vacuum inlbs at the modulator do you have at idle.

If the 2 bolts that hold the reducer and input didn't break off inside the pump housing, I could have rebuilt it for under 50$.

Been fighting my glows, if the truck sits for about an hour after I drive it up to operating temp. Even replaced the stock temp sensor with a nos one to turn on the glows for a few seconds so it starts easy...but it still won't. So I did a thing that isn't stock but I hid it pretty good in the...
That magic spring did come out of your steering column...it's the key in the ignition ground...I usually chuck those since I don't like that buzzing noise.

Dang, that's a nice one. I keep buying old ones and fixing them...use them for a bit and sell them and repeat. Are you gonna paint that army green or sand?

Dang this entire thing makes me sad!! Got a new motor and it exploded. I have no idea why it did that...I'd think if you had a fuel issue the egt would have gone up a bunch, they react fast too.
