    Random Stall

    I had my transmission recently rebuilt and ever since i've been experiencing a random stall, My cousin is the one who did the transmission for cash and gave me a good deal, I've already gotten suggestions.ect and replaced/added grounding wires which definately helped, almost to the point where...

    4low strong enough for racing?

    My truck in the sig will top out at about 80kph in 4lo. It gets there very fast. It held up to a 100km drive in 4low in the winter at about those speeds, I would think you would be ok.. until it breaks it would definately compensate for your gearing, you should be able to get the tires spinning...

    Stall after rebuild

    Yes, truck in the sig.. should have mentioned that. Cab is seperatly powered, I ran new/extra heavy guage ground wires and went over all the wiring I could get my hands on. no stalls yet (30kms)

    Stall after rebuild

    I'll check that too. would that not only be powered during starting though?

    Stall after rebuild

    Thanks, I had wondered about that. I have a new filter that i'll put in, and i'll check the wiring and other pump connections. the only reason i'm thinking not pump related is that there were no issues at all before the trans swap, now there are. I will look into the fuel pump.. it seems like...

    Stall after rebuild

    Got my trans rebuilt not the truck randomly stalls, its stalled about a dozen times in 200kms. usually at cruise it will stall, then restart on its own, just gives a good buck. or when coming to a stop, like under 20kph. not on accel (yet). seems pretty random and unrelated to shifting, temp...

    Dual Batteries

    Diesels came with dual batteries, wired in parallel with heavy guage wire for starting, many gassers have the tray for a second battery which makes it a very easy and popular upgrade. If there is just small wire running to/from it it may be just used for accessories.

    Trans slip

    Today I'm dropping her off for rebuild. aprox 800 for a full rebuild (shift kit .ect as well) and 350 to drop and reinstall. hopefully then I dont have to worry about the tranmission going anymore.

    Trans slip

    Thanks guys, i'm getting a price on having it pulled, rebuilt and installed. I could pull it myself but last time I tried (a friends 97 c1500) my friend nearly ate the whole transmission.. something i'm not willing to try again.. I'm sure there is probably a safe and proper way to go about it...

    Trans slip

    Thanks guys, its been rebuilt once before I owned the truck, would there be any issues with rebuilding a second time? A guy i work with is parting out a 2000 with the 5.3l, is his 4l60e the same as mine?

    Trans slip

    Yes, I drive it hard and I fully know the sort of consequences for doing that. I was just hoping to get a little more life out of it. If anyone has any helpful info I would appreciate it.

    Trans slip

    So it happened again, but worse.. much worse.. Driving into work today I turned and gave it about 3/4 throttle, i let off the throttle to let it hit 3rd gear, it tried revving down and grabbing but it didn't, just slip, a little throttle and it would rev up, then nothing, the truck started...

    Awesome, Thanks! I don't know if the site will let me rep you more yet :)

    4x4 Hum and Vibration at 45-50 mph and up

    check your u-joints for any play. Is the noise coming from front or rear of truck? your front cv's are always spinning and usually make more noise when turning so I would rule them out. along with anything else from the diff beyond. are your tires severely wore on the back and new on the front...

    brake issues 97gmc

    sounds like bad pads, steel on steel, you will probably need front pads and at least 1 rotor. Check the back brakes while your at it, make sure they are adjusted properly and that the adjuster is working and all springs are in good shape.

    Rear Brakes not Working

    You should start your own thread and use somewhat proper English, some guys may have trouble understanding you. But either way, If your not leaking fluid clean the shoes and drums, make sure the small spring between the shoes on the bottom is actaully there and functional. Remove any ledge on...

    Totally lost ---- have searched and searched and can't figure out my miss

    Rough at all RPMs? in all gears? in my experience an ign module is all temps. Is your air filter clean? Fuel Filter? Egr should have no effect on this, If it is vaccum it will be much less noticable at higher rpms I'd check the O2 sensor like was mentioned above to keep it in open loop.

    Spark plug wires

    I run Taylor wires, (40$ set) they were not very expensive comapred to delcos, which is also reccomended I run a MSD cap and rotor (brass or copper contacts=no corrosion like the alum) ACD Rapidfire Plugs work the best in my truck, I have to replace some every 25k kms, so they are also much...

    Trans slip

    Great info as usual, Thanks! It seems to be holding good and strong now, Cant seem to make it slip (even launching in 4lo) do you have a pic or discription of where the pcs is? Also do you know what holds that magnet to the bottom of the pan? I'm thinking that my best bet would be a similar...

    Trans slip

    Well I didnt get the delco.. carquest was the only place that had the right one, seems to be decent. price was right anyways. They did not have a magnet for my pan either, I do have the etched spot, just no magnet. I put a bottle of Lucas in and put about 150kms on it, only once did it over rev...

    Trans slip

    so nappa gave me the wrong damn filter. the one i got is much thinner and is not notched for the dip stick tube... dammit edit: looks like i have a filter for a shallow pan, I'm sure I 'could' run it, but i think i'm gonna drink beer and play video games instead and call napa first thing...

    Trans slip

    I have some real strong magnets here, I dont know if i should stick them to the outside of the pan though.. incase they ever fall off and there is a wave of filings go through the trans

    Trans slip

    Thanks, my magnet is missing.... which is really weird, it must have been removed during the rebuild many kms ago.. i cant see it falling off and getting ground to dust. I only have a napa filter, I got thier best one, hopefully it is acdelco quality

    Trans slip

    Thanks guys, I know that some opinions go both ways on that stuff but I'll be picking some up tomorrow. Currently I flushed the fluid (ran the truck and pumped it out the trans cooler fitting on the rad, 4l at a time) It to 20l for it to clear up. Then I dropped the pan, Pretty streaky, but i'll...

    Trans slip

    the title says it. now I have done my research but i'm more looking for opinions, I'm 80% sure my clutch plates are starting to go. Today I went to rescue a friend in the ditch, after overcoming a snowplow i nailed it and at about 60kph the rpms shot up, thought i was just on some ice, i let...
