    80-91 tilt column rebuild

    A few years ago the crimps on my trucks ignition switch worked loose and the truck would sometimes start and sometimes not start so I replaced it. The new switch started doing the same thing just a few months later. I fixed it by drilling some holes through the crimp tabs and upper half of the...

    Starter solenoid(s)

    Are you sure you are getting power from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid? I had a similar problem with my truck and it turned out the upper half of the ignition switch that is mounted down on the steering column was starting to separate from the bottom half allowing the contacts...

    Why the adds now? New Comp. from Win 7 to Win 11

    Try switching to the Brave browser and set up ad block. If that doesn't work you could always load Linux Mint to get rid of all the Microsoft crap. Thats what I ended up doing because I got tired of all the crap on Windows 10. My desktop is so old I couldn't load Windows 11 even if I wanted too...

    Batteries 100% drained dead - new problem

    Another thing to look out for are relays that should be off when the key is off, but may be stuck in a on position drawing power directly from the batteries even when the key is off. I had the TECA relay on my truck stuck on like that and it took me months to figure it out. Good luck.

    Seems like that could be considered consumer fraud by some states consumer protection laws?

    Gas in the tank...

    The first time I filled up at a Sinclare gas station in South Dakota I grabbed the green pump handle and pumped 3 gallons of gas in my half full rear tank when I realized both handles on the pump were green. I fineshed filling up with diesel and other than a drop in miles per gallon the truck...

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    Finaly got the 1991 transfer case reassembled and installed in the truck yesterday. To make it work for my truck I had to install the output shaft, speedometer gear and output housing from my old transfer case to the new transfer case.

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    I am in the process of swaping the output shafts and housings today. I would have been done yesterday if the two different cheap snap ring pliers that I got from the local auto parts shops were worth a darn. I am going to try to find a better pair of snap ring pliers so I can finishing the...

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    I guess I will give it a try. Got nothing to lose.

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    How hard would it be to swap parts from my old transfer case to the newer case to make it work on my truck?

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    So I just wasted my time and money on a transfer case that will not let my E4OD transmission shift?

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    Trying to install a BW 1356 transfer case from a 1991 truck but the rear output housing is missing the port for the speedometer cable. Will my 1990 diesel truck still run without the speedometer and the sensor with it hooked up?

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    Sounds like it's time to look for another transfer case.

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    I just put the rear of the truck on jack stands and with the engine off I could turn the rear drive shaft by hand in every gear except 4L and I could hear clicking noises comming from the transfer case which is a 1356-47 according to the id tag. All linkages seem to be fine.

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    The truck was stationary when I tried to put the transmission into park. The engine was at idle and the trasmission made the grinding noise when I tried to put it in park.

    Do you think it is the E4OD or transfer case?

    Wednesday morning I was driving from Fort Mohave, AZ to Kingman, AZ. A distance of about 40 miles with an elevation change of from 500ft to 3700ft. As I was starting down the summit into Kingman my truck made a very loud screeching noise for about 30 seconds and the truck lost all power to the...

    How to remove rear fuel tank?

    I was able to syphon fuel out of my rear tank with a 6 foot piece of 5/8" garden hose. The trick is to use containers with openings as low to the ground as possible to keep the syphon flowing.

    Broke down

    If you haven't already done it, it might be a good idea to put some good fuel treatment in your tank to help deal with any fuel contanmination.

    3g at a loss

    Maybe you could run a ground cable from the alternator case to the battery ground? That's what I did when I converted my truck to 3G.

    Things that go bump // Back up camera recommendation ??

    I installed a Smart Hitch Backup Camera & Sensor System on my truck after buying my travel trailer. The only drawback is it is hard wired to the monitor so I had to drill a hole in my fire wall for the cable. However it works really well day or night. It has a hitch mode that helps you line up...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Sounds like you might have a broken fuel pickup in that tank.
