Simple tire said to start the process of returning that tire for a replacement, interesting seeing they do not show any in stock, waiting on the next boat from Turkey :ROFLMAO:
Unless you evacuate the system completely "knowing" how much refrigerant the system uses means nothing.
Unless you feel confident and can use a set of gauges you should have a competent shop look at it, they may not know the ins and outs of that system but they can put a set of gauges on it, all...
This is exactly the type of ground loop issue I fear with the "supplemental" harness, they grounded the entire body through a 12ga wire
BTW there are two ground wires on the other side of that bolt/firewall behind the inst. panel that should be looked at
If soon the engine side it is # 3C
To replace it all you would need to do is run a wire from the ground lug on the alt or any other major ground to the firewall.
Most likely something heavy shorted +24V to the body and that fried the wire, the problem now is how many other wires in the harness...
Are you talking about the body ground that goes from the engine compartment through the firewall behind the inst. panel using a bolt? if so which side are you talking about.
It is on the right side of the engine between the valve cover and the intake manifold, if it is missing there will be a bracket with two holes in it where it mounts.
If you have driven it for two years without one you are damn lucky you have not turned the motor into toast.
Good catch!!!! I forgot to ask if his truck originally had fording ability, non fording trucks do not get the CDR valve removed.
But it is imperative that he know, one little nut washer etc. gets in that hose and the engine is toast!!!
It is simple though, if you have IGN voltage and measure the output voltage and the alt is turning rapidly and you do not see about 28V on the output the alternator is defective, no need to have it tested
So the TCM does not require any information from a ECM? was it originally driven by a mechanical engine?
I was led to believe the GM TCM needed the ECM to work, I have communication between the ECM/TCM and the TCCM, I love the shift on the fly transfer case and am dang glad I did not install the...
It is the lead that goes to a terminal marked excite or IGN
If you have 24V at the alt output with the run switch on you likely have voltage on the IGN terminal as they have the same source but worth a check anyway
If that checks out and the volt meter does not show around 28V running then it...
Man I gota get out of S TX, I love it here, some of the reasons are it is pretty much a desert, no rain, no water and everything here tries to sting you stick you or bite you so only the tough survive, but it is flat as a pancake with no public land.
Anyone that lives where there is some terrain...
I was not aware anything was available, I believe all those parts have been sold, there also would be no cross member because the Alpha used the 4L80 trans.
There is however some adapter plates to adapt the Dmax to the original motor mounts but some other mods need to be made as the engine sits...
That rim was checked and it had .015 and .020" (.5mm) radial runout, the standard for a 16.5" steel wheel is .050" max.
Also when spun up all but the one damaged tire ran true on the balancer.
Some of the others had a little more and a little less than this rim, IIRC (and they are marked) the...
