    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    Sigh...it used to try to kick in/out of lockup at part-throttle 45ish mph increasing load...now it seems to really want to stutter in/out of lockup during that situation (and only that situation). Could this also be solenoid related? If anyone has ever driven a vehicle that is vacuum operated...

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    That's what I was afraid of, but I need to know where these things are so that I can check/change them. ANYONE HAVE A FACTORY KNOWN-GOOD VB THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SELL? Jesse

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    Verified it...just is wanting to hold the gear a tad too long (like a manual)...absolutely no slipping in the gears. Jesse

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    He flushed the fluid and it came out a purplish color. Added a quart of the Lucas stuff and it is still doing it. He said that it seems as if 1st or 2nd gear is just holding for too long...until you let off the gas (sticking valvebody?) How would I go about checking/fixing/inspecting a vb...

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    As soon as the TC locks up, it's solid...it's the actual gear that slips. If I get on it about 1/2ish throttle, it will pull fine until about 2k and then I can start to feel it slipping. I have an aftermarket TC. All other gears are fine, I think it's just 1st gear. Jesse

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    My buddy borrowed the truck to tow his car on the trailer. He told me that he noticed it shifted funny and saw that the temp was 200+. He pulled over and let it cool down to 200, then finished the 5 minute drive home. He then hopped on the interstate and drove back to where I was and told me...

    Sigh...I remember buying my truck because diesel was the same price as regular...2.30's...those were the days. I'm sure you weathered guys have seen even lower. Jesse

    Swapping manual into auto truck?

    So it's running? Did you have to replace any sheetmetal in the floor or just cut stuff out of the way? Jesse

    Swapping manual into auto truck?

    LOL, those are questions I was going to be asking you! I think the auto pcm will work, unsure of the plug connectors though... Unfortunately you are a 2x4...How much do you have tied up in it (if you don't mind me asking)? Jesse

    Anyone still have their stock exhaust laying around?

    Ummm, as much as can be shipped for as cheaply as possible:) I don't think I can use the bend that goes over the axles because it is crimped in to go around the spare, but if the price is right I can make it work. I think the downpipe is 3" and I can also use some 3", so...which arm you...

    Anyone still have their stock exhaust laying around?

    I'm in the Northern VA area and need some length of 3.5" pipe, can be straight or bends as I need both and would like to take it out of someone's shed:) Anyone? I'm making a downpipe/exhaust for my turbo mustang. Jesse

    How much smoke on cold mornings?

    I was told if the injector o-rings are bad the fuel filter will be black? I've done no testing of the gp's...I don't know how to jump the relay or what it does and I have no idea what a VC harness is. Thanks guys, Jesse

    How much smoke on cold mornings?

    Engine turns over very fast and it has always done it...well...I've had it two winters and it has done it both of them. Anything above 30* and it will start up one cycle first try. Still think glow plugs? What's the life expectancy on those thigns anywho? Jesse

    How much smoke on cold mornings?

    And when I mean smoke, I mean you can't see through it:) Looks like I'm dusting for skeeters. I crank it for not even 10 seconds, then the second time it normally catches enough cylinders to run and I then let it idle until it smooths out, but it doesn't catch all cylinders until about 1-2...

    How much smoke on cold mornings?

    I have a 99 with no block heater and if it is below 30*, it normally takes two cycles of the key and then two-three starting attempts and it puffs blue-grey smoke for about a minute. I know it's just that Rotella is like molassas at that temp, but I'm curious if this is usual among y'all who...
