    air in fuel issues

    You have to be VERY careful, you can blow off vent lines or damage the tank, a red rag around a blow nozzle will give you as much pressure as you should ever use.

    4L80E Code 22 and 73

    I have no idea but likely fairly easy, but of course you want to troubleshoot it, not just start swapping parts. Allot of you-tube videos about the 4L80E most of the civy stuff relates to your transmission.

    4L80E Code 22 and 73

    Yes you should troubleshoot the TPS, there have been wiring/connector issues before. Not likely any relationship between the two error codes, just follow the steps in the guide. I guess I would do the TPS first, when you start to work the #73 check that the control plug at the transmission is...

    MEP831A moisture in the controller

    Yep a few minutes running and she is fine, I have her pulling a kilowatt or so on the shop right now. I have one of those wifi controllers but cannot remember the IP address or password, I will have to look that up, actually I may have it on a piece of paper inside the control box, will skip out...

    MEP831A moisture in the controller

    I did not get to finish, I lost power again and my big UPS batteries have gone wonky so I had to shut my PC down. Yes I meant the inverter, sorry. This has happened before and ether running the engine or putting a fan on the inverter and drying it out usually works. I was thinking it needed the...

    MEP831A moisture in the controller

    We had a brief 2 hr power outage today, I did not figure it would be too long so I got out one of the MEP831As It had been in the rain for several hours and it would fail immediately with an overload condition, before the load switch was even available I have been told this is due to moisture...

    Charger

    If there was a "dead short" all kinds of exciting things would be happening. How many volts from the output terminal of the alt and ground when running? How many volts from the IGN terminal on the alt and ground when running? Do you have a 60A alt? (2 belt grooves)

    Smart box

    The problem is that there is a 99% chance something else took out the resistor, replacing it will not likely help.

    air in fuel issues

    The IP has an internal pump that will kinda/sort of run the engine if the lift pump is bad, that is why you had a vacuum at the filter drain.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    You can and should go ahead and troubleshoot that problem first if you plan on having a shop do all the work as they will not release the truck in that condition, the last I remember you are looking at a failed TCM. You could go ahead and put a new filter and fluid in the transmission, it of...

    electrical wire diagram

    Talk about pricey, I asked the local UPS store which does "print shop" work how much to have a manual I have scanned to PDF, 800 or so pages. $3.60 a PAGE!!

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    It common enough for any transmission to fail especially with a 19 year old at the wheel. The 2wd and the 4wd have different output shafts, the first thing one puts into a transmission is the output shaft so a complete disassembly is required to change it. I have actually seen much worse than...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    No it is toast, any decent transmission shop can build that transmission, there are literally millions of them on the road.

    AC temp adjustment thermistor?

    I would still invest in a full set of gauges to make sure the high side was within range, the entire system only takes 4.6 cans of 12oz R134A CHEAP insurance. One of the problems with a system that sits for years is the compressor shaft seal dries out so you may not be out of the woods yet...
