    I think i done burned up the starter

    Thanks! I did end up swapping out the solenoid with a new one. For jumping this to bleed, does key need to be in a certain position?

    I think i done burned up the starter

    Update, still nogo charged both batteries, tried jumping solenoid while pushing Schrader, its too tight in there I can't get a good connect with a screwdriver. (confirm its the solenoid behind passenger batt?) Still nothing, thought I heard a sputter tho. Double checked lines at IP, snug and...

    Thanks everyone! I'll charge Batts, check/clean connections and try again. This truck did take a decent amount of cranking before, so I've always been ready for that starter to go

    7.3 idi Air intrusion, need help

    If you need it to work, etc I've had this problem before, and just would hold the accelerator down a wee bit and purge all that air out. if caps and injectors are good check the rubber lines and the clamps

    Non start on an 85 6.9

    Thanks all, appreciate the hand holding. I'm a lost cause in electrical aspects :) I put 2 new batteries in it and it fires right up. New vac pump and hoses just ordered, that's gonna be my first fix before messing with the vrv for the shifting issue. Batt cables are new from LMC less than a...

    C6 shifting late/hard

    Burners, Would you willing to help me compile a checklist for troubleshoot? The c6 in my 85 feels like it lags, feels like it has to hit a higher rpm than previous years before shifting. And when it does shift it sorta 'kicks into it. My initial idea is to pull the filter off, check and...
