So I went to my truck with the new found information and just knew I had this thing whipped and low and behold I was wrong. The TPS itself is working fine and with in the ranges required so I set about to calibrate and nada.
Now this of course leads to more questions and NO, not of yet have I...
I will give the problem first and then state what I have done for diagnostics.
Problem- Transmission when put in drive lights up with 7 gear showing in left window and 2 showing in right window.
Drive and will not shift to 3rd even when tached out.
Stop- Shift it manual in to 1st- it goes into...
So I wasn't so quick to get back with you how that all turned out. I apologize.
It turned out to be the Relay Valve. When I removed it from its perch it was quite plugged. They you weigh it out and say I could try cleaning it but the cost isn't that terrible versus the inconvenience of location...
Well Sir, you get the Attaboy for what it is worth. Thank you for sharing the information, the videos, the knowledge, the time. I'll let you know how this turns out and the door has been opened to diagnostic playing. Lugnuts
That's brilliant way to check that, thank you.
As far as the Relay Valve/ Anti-Compound Valve is there a kit that you can pull the whole valve out and rebuild it or is it a valve that if one side fails you replace the whole valve? The truck is 40 miles from me and I would like to minimize my...
That's a great explanation, thank you.
So when the Parking Brake Control Valve is pulled up to release pressure, if you hear the front quick release air exhaust and the lights on the dash come back on telling that the brakes are applied then if your parking brakes are slow to release it must be...
After reading my air line schematics available on Steel Soldiers and after going to YouTube to view RonMars Air Component Video (which by the way is excellent even after the 4th time) I am turn for help for confirmation.
My parking brakes are taking 20 seconds to fully release. I suspect it is...
Without looking at a wiring schematic does that mean if the alternator excites that the sensor is good or is there 2 parts to the sender. A ground and a potentiometer for the gauge? Is that sensor also located in the middle of the engine block on the left side?
Sticker Shock once again brings me to the Steel Soldiers Advisory Committee/ I haven't researched it and this is my first place to come so maybe my powers of observation can be scrutinized/
Dealing with my Oil Pressure the first place I dealt with was the gauge and is it working/ After removing...
I did not have any problems with the cover fitting on the box/ I sometimes had to take a little out of the lower portion of the box in order for the cables to sit in what I considered correctly.
What donut are you referring to? If you are speaking of the alternate air ride system I have the name and I believe it was listed on eBay. And the shock is the limiter for how far the travel.
I thought I'd record the repair of the air bags so I posted on YouTube with this link
Please critique but I know the filming is bad and I know my repair is primitive. It get's the truck back in service service and I can make correct bushings now that I have the measurements.
The intent for the...
I'll have to dig out my information on the fellow that was selling these but... I do have an extra one that I bought just in case the others failed but that didn't happen. It works great. This one might be for sale if you are interested? Lugnuts
Yes, that be it. That is what I know I can do but the ones that come stock have a shape for the cylinder aspect of it too. Not only does the bushing absorb shock but controls side play. Thank you for the response.
So here I am into January and now starting on the Air Bag replacement. Not complicated, just procedural. But of course one runs into a snag and therefore here I am.
Once you remove the air bag assembly you can disassemble to replace the bag. The snag is that coming out of the air bag is a shaft...
