    Electrical Problems with gauges

    I have not found my ground problem yet, I have not had time to tear into it. I did fix the problem with my radio shutting off when I use the power windows, my batteries were good but the alternator was bad. I guess it was not putting out enough voltage and whne I had a high load my voltage...

    Electrical Problems with gauges

    Yesterday I was checking the instrument cluster, I could only pull it out so far due to the speedometer cable I did not remove that cable because I was not exactly sure how to and did not want to break something, but the connections I could see were fine. As far as the grounds go I did not see...

    Electrical Problems with gauges

    Ok I will tear into the dash tommorow and check connections. As far as the grounds go, do you think it would be a ground connection in the cab or like the main ground that goes from the battery to the engine. I looked at the main ground that terminates to the block/engine today and they are...

    NEED HELP WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE!!

    I put my truck on jack stands, put the transfer case in 2wd, and locked the hubs. I turned the front drive shaft and both wheels would spin but in opposite directions. Then I put it in 4wd and the front drive axle would not spin. So does that mean that both hubs would be bad?

    No Brakes!

    I did not bleed the RABS I did not even know about it...I bled the wheels in the order of R rear, L rear, R front, then L front, I also did it with the truck running, I tried to bleed then with the truck turned off but when I pumped the brakes no fluid would come out.
