    flexpate problems threaten labor day vacation..

    Well, I got shipped out of town back in may, just got back to this, I have since had the flexplate replaced again while out of town (about August) and it has gone out again by mid september. Now, I went and bought 2 flexplates, cut the center out of one and I am having it welded to the...

    Help Needed 2001 HPOP reservoir dry

    A buddy had a 97 doing similar things, 2 hpops and fpr and we finally went to change the low pressure oil pump and check the drain back valve in the front cover. Found the lpop almost fell out, all the bolts had backed out and let the pump unprime after sitting. No one was ever in there...

    Help Needed Rattle under light load & idle

    When my 99 makes noises like this I run the piss out of it and shift hard for a day or 2, then it stops. After a couple days it comes back, then repeat, and repeat again. After a month - the starter wont engage the flexplate because its warped, replace broken in center flexplate.. and in my case...

    battery acts dead, but its not

    The last few days my trucks starter was turning slower and slower but always started. Yesterday morning it wouldnt even try and I got a ride to work. I thought the problem was that since I only drive 5 miles a day it wasnt getting a charge. So I came home and put the battery charger on it...

    Pull the Tranny?

    If this is why you are fixing the exhaust leak I think you are doing right by fixing it but barking up the wrong tree. I had exhuast coming out of the y pipe like no ones business, soot all down the tubes and I was still making 24psi with a chip. I replaced the gaskets and removed my chip...

    Y pipe exhaust leak

    I just did mine when I had the transmission out. I couldnt imagine doing it with the transmission in. I found a post somewhere about using chevy 350 style exhaust donuts instead, I also found a post about the international parts that make it a regular exhaust flange instead of a slip joint...

    flexpate problems threaten labor day vacation..

    Well, this flexplate didnt last either.. its starting to chatter again. I will have to pull the trans again and think of something else. A buddy said he heard of harmonic balancers causing similar problems. I wonder if the crank has any runout where the flexplate mounts. If anyone knows...

    Laugh at the mechanic..

    Seen a few IDM's with water in them already, and I just got into deisels myself. The first one I opened looked just like an audio amplifier.. the mosfets had fried and a couple of runs on the board. I think I might drill a hole in mine, so it drains

    Check This out Ebay!!!

    Contact them and tell them you own the truck. If you dont have an ebay account I dont know how you would though. It may or may not be the guy who is listing it that is the problem, more than likely someone phished his user id and password. BTW, Love that truck, read about it last year.

    Hard starting and long cranking time

    Another source for the hpop leaking down is the actual low pressure oil pump. It may not be bad either, just loose (Bolts backed out overtime) Saw it on a 98, it was hard to find.

    Wierd Boost line back into intake

    I guess not too many have this extra hose for "performance reasons" so I will leave it off. Essentially it vented boost back into the airfilter for some unknown reason

    Wierd Boost line back into intake

    Not really, it was just a piece of hose and a tee.. previous owner did it.

    Wierd Boost line back into intake

    I found a wierd heater hose line coming from my intake where the intake air temperature sensor is, the hose was teed in and the sensor on the end of the tee. From there the hose goes back into the intake where the crankcase ventilation would normally be. Me and my Diesel buddy are confused as to...

    flexpate problems threaten labor day vacation..

    well, I finally got enough money saved up to buy my parts.. Ended up getting all the parts for a tsb that says something about the engine space (spacer between the back of the engine and in front of the trans) being machined improperly on some trucks up through '99 which side loads the flexplate...

    flexpate problems threaten labor day vacation..

    I looked around and couldn't find one that didnt require a new torque converter. ATS says on their site its compatible with their converter only. For the price of both those I can buy 24 flexplates LOL. Also I am not so sure that if I have too much runout at the crank or input shaft that a...
