overdrive light blinking

[Cat_Rebel]

My ABS light would come on every now & then when I swapped gears but still drove fine for the most part. It kept getting worse & worse about doing it. I couldn't go up a hill without making it freak out. Finally watched my tach going up a hill one day & saw it bounce alittle then the light came on. Traced it to converter slip, lucky me I had bought a used converter out of a 00 Powerstroke that only had 16k easy miles on it. Dropped the tranny, drilled flex plate to fit the new converter & bolted everything back up. When it locks up now you feel it.

cat rebel was it a hard mod my tach has been bouncing around as well

Got the converter for $100, drilled the flexplate by myself for free. Bolted it up in 4 places & ground off 2 studs on the converter since they wouldn't really bolt up anyways. Went alot easier then I thought.

Put a line wrench on the thing, pull the driver-side front wheel off, reach with a pipe or a long piece of woof through the fender, and hit the wrench with a heavy hammer - she will loosen up eventually.

Animal abuse

Haha, you jack, as if you didn't know what I meant (and no, it wasn't no Daschund, lol)

well the bolt has lost its shape due to trying to get the sucker out.

 

[LCAM-01XA]

Well first off, what bolt are we talking about? There ain't a single bolt in there, tis all double-flared line nuts, like brake lines have, only much much bigger. In any case, if that's what's stuck, you can just cut the line right above it, then slip a 6-pt socket over it and reef on it good.

that was my idea, i cut the line off but due to the p.s. pump and ac condenser being over top of it, there is no room for anything but a wrench.
