    Grounded alternator, now no start

    It sat on the shelf at the store and I had just put it in. Don’t worry, I’ve got the tender on it and will get it up to speed.

    Grounded alternator, now no start

    Sorry, I thought my vehicle was under my photo. I must have been thinking of a different forum. Anyways I forgot to connect a crucial ground. Going to do that and I’m hoping it will start.

    Grounded alternator, now no start

    I forgot to disconnect my battery, and sparks flew when I tried disconnecting my alternator. I removed it to replace the ground wire to the battery. The wire wouldn’t fit with my old battery so I replaced that. Now I put everything together and I have no crank at all. Battery has 12.2 volts. Did...

    Coolant temp sensor - what is a good replacement?

    No Reverse lights

    On my 98 auto 4x4 the switch under the dash with the green wire is NOT for the backup lights. Instead, the neutral safety switch/backup light switch is on the drivers side of the transmission, near the driveshaft. In any case for me the problem was in the tee connection to the trailer wiring. It...

    TPS percentage wobbling

    I hooked up a scan tool today and noticed that, at idle, the TPS percentage wobbles between 0% and 0.4%. I replaced the TPS, with no change. Has anyone else experienced this? I heard someone else say the connector might need to be replaced. What do you all think?

    Is this an oil pressure stepper motor issue?

    Ok, looks like it will take care of a flicker: https://www.gmt400.com/threads/instrument-cluster-question.44675/page-3 I’m wondering whether what I have is a flicker or whether it’s supposed to move up and down that quick. Like maybe it’s supposed to move more like a coolant gauge?

    Is this an oil pressure stepper motor issue?

    I’m wondering whether replacing the stepper motor behind the oil pressure gauge will smooth it out.

    Fuel pump relay connections

    I know I have voltage on the signal side and I know the pump runs fine when jumping it and I know I have good fuel pressure. I tested the relay and couldn’t get it to not work So … I’m thinking it’s a bad connection.
