Put your hand held volt meter across the volt meter in the dash and see if you have 24v. That is literally ground on 1 side and 27 power on the other. If you have 0v then take your negative volt meter probe and find a ground on the truck, like the case of the PCB. Then see if you have 24v...
Backwards is different than "( he had it both pos to truck and negatives together)". If the batteries were backwards as in Positive to Ground and Negative to Power, that would likely do damage.
Also, if he had both negatives together, I don't see how that would damage anything. Either it wouldn't flow any power or in the event he actually grounded the 2 negatives and hooked up the positive, it would only be 12v.
The ignition switch, in the run position, applies power to only 2 components, the PCB and Circuit Breaker 2 (CB-2). If the truck starts then power is going to the PCB. The PCB also feeds power to CB-1 and that goes to your heater fan switch. My guess is the heater fan works. If this is the...
I've never tried it that way. I'd pull it until you see the splines then put the air nozzle right into the where the splines and shaft meet. At the zerk fitting you would likely just blow past the seal. I've done this with other stubborn yokes over the years and it's probably been 50/50...
No the cap does not unscrew, it is held on by a lip and it is very difficult to remove and even more difficult to get the new one on. I rebuilt my front driveshaft during my conversion and replaced my cap because it was damaged.
The slip yoke where the two driveshaft halves pull apart is...
They do sell a special tool for the 6.2 fuel injectors. I saw it on epay last night. I have never removed a fuel injector so I don't know if it required or not but they do make one.
The factory original speedo has a built in light. Here is a picture of the back. I wonder if the bulb can be access by removing the screws on the connector.
In general I have had good experiences ordering from AMGeneral. When I have had a problem it was usually related to an out of stock item. It's not always clear that an item is out of stock. Some times I missed it and others they just didn't have it. Eventually I received everything I ever...
I have a VIC 3 Lite system that works great as well. It is a smaller system with less frills and can support 2 or 4 or more headsets for intercom. It can also attach radios etc. I think typically it costs less in general than a VIC 1 or VIC 3 full system. Here is my setup for a 2 man truck...
I was asked about the TPS sensor I used in my 4L80 conversion so I took a couple pictures.
I used a Standard TH160 TPS sensor that is a very common GM TPS sensor. For reference of the location, the first picture shows where the TPS sensor gets located. The connector just above the arrow is...
The lines on the truck don't change. The lines to and from the transmission cooler are the same and are mounted to the frame rails. Then there are rubber lines that connect to the metal lines on the transmission assembly. Simply remove the rubber lines from the metal lines attached to the...
Another 4.5 year old post reply LOL.
However I match my own belts. All a matched set are is equal length belt. My local store has a belt measuring tool. Belt manufacturing to can vary a little in both length and V thickness. So even if you have 2 belts that are exactly the same length if...
I forgot to mention that I couldn't get the clip and used a dab of silicone to hold it. Also I think I have a used setup (switch, rod, relocation bracket) less the clip if your interested.
