    My Goerend valve body came with instructions for wiring in the resistor but not for hooking up a toggle switch for manually locking the TC. Could anybody tell me the proper way to wire in a switch so that the TC works normally but with the switch off but stays locked with it on? I believe they...

    hard to start when cold

    My truck has been starting pretty hard when the engine is cold. The weather has been 40-60 degrees F outside temp. It starts a little easier if I cycle the glow plugs twice, but still takes 15 seconds or so and stutters a few times before firing. It didn't start doing this until I ran a few...

    No floor heat

    I can't get my heater to blow heat out the floor vents. I just get heat out of the defroster when it's on mix and I get a little warm air out of the defrost vents when it's on floor as well. Near as I can tell it's a vacuum motor not working as I can hear the vacuum motor activate when I...

    Wiper motor and harness

    So in searching on this forum it sounds like everybody is having quality issues with aftermarket wiper motors. I called the Dealer and they want $158 for a new one which sounded like a pretty good deal for the factory part. The catch is they superceded the part and I'd need a wiring harness...

    ran like crap on 1/3 Diesel, 1/3 ATF, 1/3 WMO

    Anything you guys running the higher concentrations are doing to make it run right? It would often die when it was idling at stop lights and such. Other times it would idle fine. Topped off the tank with #2 and it smoothed right out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    what to do for towing mirrors

    I searched and see that some people are using the power heated towing mirrors off of later model dodges. Are these a simple installation and are they still powered and heated when installed in place of the power mirrors. Hopefully this afternoon I will become the proud owner of a 97 2500 with...

    I have a 10 gpm 12v dc pump on order and just noticed that the goldenrod waterblock filter I also ordered is only 5 gpm rated. Will this be a problem or will my pump just not pump as fast as it could?

    where to find 1 micron filters

    where are you guys finding your 1 micron filters. I need a 3/4 in and 3/4 out filter. Preferably a replacable element type but I'll take spin in if that's all I can find. Are you using oil specific filters or something else?

    Broken Tierod end???

    The passenger side tierod end broke where it meets the steering knuckle. About 10-20,000 miles ago I messed up the threads on that one while instaling new tierods all around. I didn't realize I botched the install but the alignment guy at Les Schwabs did and he had to replace that rod end...
