    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?
