    CA unladen weight fee

    I was about to say someone must not be listening to AM radio. There's a big campaign going on right now to try and get the road fees out of the general fund and back "where they belong." Apparently the wrong pockets are being lined right now.

    CA unladen weight fee

    Funny that. I think you can register anything commercial in CA. Lets you park at white curbs. Useful in the city for deliveries. My brother had his explorer registered commercial. A smart car weighs in at 1600 lbs. Maybe a courier service?!?

    CA unladen weight fee

    Here in California, our trucks are registered commercial and we pay a weight fee based on the unladen weight. I believe this weight is set when the vehicle is first sold but who knows. While at AAA registering my truck, the nice lady showed me the weight ranges. My truck's unladen weight is...

    A/C not getting cold

    Fan and Resistor is located on the firewall. Back passenger corner of the engine bay. Pressure switch -- follow your A/C lines until you come to a pressure switch screwed in it. It is a 2 wire connector. You pull the connector and put a wire between the two wire connectors inside of the...

    A/C not getting cold

    Your blower motor resistor is shot. It reduces power to the fan motor on all settings except high. When the solder joint on it blows, the fan will only operate on high. $30 at your local parts store. I would pull the blower motor and dig out the years of compost that accumulates below it and...

    Italian Tuneup

    Chris, You can get it at a gas station near you. I go Propel. http://propelfuels.com/locations . Rumor has it that it makes a good additive for lubricity in your diesel, too.

    Lost my brakes

    Thanks for the numbers guys. Would you say a no vacuum situation would make the brakes feel like they do before you start it. Or like a truck with oversized tires and manual brakes? This is not what they feel like. They feel like there is vacuum assist until the pedal hits that invisible brick...

    Lost my brakes

    I got to thinking about this. Isn't this the same brake system as a gas engine. Idle vacuum on a gas engine is 14-18 isn't it? I don't think I'm describing it well. With engine off and vacuum bled, the pedal is hard from the top. With engine running, I can feel the vacuum assist until it...

    Lost my brakes

    OK. Vacuum is holding with engine off So i do not believe there are any leaks. What should vacuum measure with a good pump? Looks like stepping up plans for my hydroboost

    Lost my brakes

    I think I jinxed myself. Hadn't had time to be on here for awhile. Logged in today and later on I lost my brakes. Turns out I must have a leak in the rear brake circuit. I got the brakes bled and the brake light off but now it feels like there is a brick under the brake pedal. It is extremely...

    Any other way to tell if you have broken piston rings other than a Comp. test?

    Wait a minute. You brought bare heads to the shop? Then they were already broken down. You can't have had your valve seals at home without pulling the retainers.

    Flat deck

    Yes. Apitong is what is used on big trucks. Heavy, dense and durable.

    Flat deck

    Apitong and some used motor oil and you'll have a deck that will outlast your pickup.

    Voltage Regulator Wiring ????

    If you don't want to go by the parts store, read voltage at the battery with engine off and engine running with both regulators. That's all the in dash gauge is doing. But a meter will give you real numbers.

    Voltage Regulator Wiring ????

    Also, disconnect your plug from your regulator. Put a test light on the left terminal OF THE PLUG. Turn key on. The light should light.

    Voltage Regulator Wiring ????

    "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" Does it read as if it is reading battery voltage and not charging voltage? If this were my truck, I would run a hot wire from the battery to the I terminal on the regulator and see if it doesn't...

    Voltage Regulator Wiring ????

    FYI, your second post's image does not show. Left to right on your regulator with it facing you is Idiot light (Ignition on) , A+ Battery connector on alternator, Stator connection on alternator, Field connection on alternator. I terminal is the on/off switch for the charging system. When...

    Throttle hesitation and almost dies

    Just to be clear, after you filled the filter with ATF you ran it until the engine got quiet and then shut it down and left it overnight?

    this will upset the rustbelters......

    Anyone else notice the drip pan? Unused vehicles have a tendency to leak once they are used.
