I would suspect they are all loose and maybe only one fell out, hopefully that is all the damage done :eek:

Welcome to the SS forums!!

As I understand it some boxes will not operate "normally" if the glow plugs are bad.

Most likely ether the glow plugs are bad or the EESS (start box) is bad or both. After you wait 20 seconds does it start right up with no smoke and run smoothly? Do you see the volt meter bouncing around during this time but before trying to start?

When it says to disconnect the glow plug controller it is talking about the module (TSU) that is screwed into the water cross over on the front of the engine on the passenger side, has about 6 wires or so, you squeeze the connector to pull it off the TSU You should always remove this connector...

Look at page 60

The TCM is in a protective box on the driver side rear floorboard, there is an unused connector on that box and that is where you put put the jumper in from A to E to get the codes. This is one electrical job that you do not remove the battery cables first, if you do you erase the stored codes...

Understand the TCM should never try to lock the torque converter in 1st or even 2nd gear IIRC, and of course never in reverse. The last couple guys that had this issue at a stop had defective TCMs, it is also possible there is a short in the harness so you should follow the harness from the TCM...

The only place I can think of right away is number 16 on the power steering cooler, there are probably others. The cooler has two of these, they only show one side. There are some cap screws in the transfer case but they are metric.

Welcome to the SS forums Do you have this?

Welcome to the SS forums. It sounds like your torque converter is trying to lock up at inappropriate times. The first thing you need to do is read the codes using the jumper described in this supplement and the trans light. The trans light should be coming on when the run switch is turned to run...

If you do not have any 12V devices connected to the batteries then any one of the 4 connections will leave it inert. If you do then remove the 12V connections while you troubleshoot this problem, you should also unplug the TSU on the passenger side of the water cross over to help keep you from...

Man, that truck just missed the PS upgrade to a remote reservoir at 196901 :)

After checking the wiring on the run switch make sure you have that missing bolt in place before ever trying to start it again, it matters not that it was working that way before, there will be a time that disaster will strike and it could be the next time you hit start. If that starter drops...

WELCOME to the SS forums!!! It sounds like among other things you have the run switch wired incorrectly.

Holy Moly, out of the three other half shafts two of them have loose bolts, they used standard lock washers and I see no evidence of any locking compound :mad: I was assuming by 2008 they would be using Nord-Lock washers, so all four corners will get all new bolts and Nord-Lock washers on both...

You should get the same effect if you hold the throttle at say 55MPH and press the brake and then release, you should see the RPMs rise then fall as the torque converter unlocks then goes back into lock. The switch RWH was speaking of would simply go in series with the brake switch to simulate...

IIRC the 28 tooth is for the 10K trucks with the 10K 242 transfer case, the 3 speed is shorter than the 4 speed. I think the shaft you ordered is for the 10.3K 242 when installed in the 3 speed trucks so it would be longer than the standard A2 shaft. Then again I could be completely wrong :LOL:

I filed form 130-U "application for Texas title" today, total out of pocket $28, much better now that we know what boxes to check :) The right front drive flange does not look too bad but because I am building this truck for resale I am treating it like I would any other customer vehicle. So I...

First nobody knows how many miles any vehicle has because the speedos get changed all the time, could be 8K but might not. You say reconditioned, by whom? As TOBASH says it could be a lift pump, it could be a plugged fuel tank vent (try loosening the fill cap) it could be a plugged fuel tank...
