    No Reverse

    All, I went to go back up today and something was slipping bad but I was moving backwards. Then no slipping and no moving. I put some oil in the gear vendors thinking that is what it was, went to go back up and it was slipping until I hit 2500rpm and then started to back up well. I came back...

    Lagging Tach

    I seems lately that my tach is lagging at startup. It will sit at 200 rpm or so for about 45 sec, then jump up to the normal amount. It doesn't happen everytime though. What is causing this and is this a sign of a bigger problem? Thanks

    Hard Start

    I am having a hard starting issue, the truck used to fire up almost immediatly in this temp, now it takes a little while. What I have noticed is that I wait for the WTS to come off then it cranks for about 8-10s and does not fire, I turn the key off and then back on and wait for the WTS light...

    Brake Light

    The brake light on the dash comes on when I'm at a full stop and the blowers are on. The wierd thing is it will only come on when I lightly touch the brake pedal (just enough to stop me from rolling at a stop light) and if I push the pedal harder it goes away immediately. It also seems more...

    Wacky Fuel Guage

    My fuel guage will sit at max for a while then drop kinda quickly and then slow down at the very bottom (below 1/8 tank) It happens with both tanks although one more than the other. Because of this I can only safely pull 12 gal from the front tank and 6 from the rear. Is this a problem inside...

    HELP Truck Died

    When I left today, I was going up a hill and at the top I pushed the clutch in and it shut off on me. No shaking or anything. It fired right up. Then I went a little further on a straight part of the road and pushed the clutch in and it shut off again but fired right up. Then I drove around...

    Rear Fuel Tank Problem

    Guys, the problem with the tank is that I only get about 6 gallons of use from it. I know it holds more. I read about the pickup's getting screwed up and not drawing all the fuel but what I noticed with mine is that the fuel guage reads full when full but when you start using the fuel it drops...

    Low Oil Pressure

    This just started developing last week. Whenever I seem to turn the truck, even slightly ( like a curve in a road) the oil pressure changes alot it will go from N to where the line is on the low end of the gauge. No change in rpm or speed. And I'm talking just a slight curve will do this. I...

    Wiring Question

    I replaced the metal fuel line from the lift pump to the filter today with a rubber hose. On the line itself was some type of rubber boot and a wire going into it. I disconnected this wire. Is this okay or do I need it. What is it for?

    Hole in Fuel Line

    Oil Pressure Line

    Where do you guys get your braided oil pressure line, where do you hook it up to on the engine, and what does your oil pressure normally run at idle. I have the copper line now and it leaks at both connections, I also hooked it up to where the oil pressure sending unit goes. I'm afraid it...

    Questions About Timing

    Can the timing change if the IP is not touched and is not worn? Also if your timing is off does this mean you need a new IP or it just needs to be timed. Do people get their trucks timed multiple times over the lifetime of an IP? I was having some issues with poor fuel mileage and white smoke...

    Matched Injectors

    I am going to replace the injectors in the truck and was wondering if the matched injectors were worth it. Do they increase the fuel mileage or just create a smoother running engine.
