1996 k1500 5.7 4l60e
CAI, dual in dual out exhaust, fresh ignition system (msd wires, Ac Delco 41-993 Spark plugs, all new billet msd distributer and gear. And accel<- ignition coil...which was maybe a mistake) all a month old
I've been a lurk here for many years. Since I was 16 and got my first k1500, a short box step side standard trans glory. You guys have helped me learn and fix so much I'd like to first say thank you eternally. Just reading this wealth of knowledge and time has sent ripples of benefit to people in ways we cane imagine. So to start off I'd like to cheers all yall as I do in my life, here to you unsung heroes of passion and repair.
Now I've got a problem, and I know where to shoot first and I know what steps to take. Minus a couple variable/anomalies. I've put a ton of money into this truck. Because as my life has shown. Repairing trucks keeps me outta trouble, and my mind ok when I am not. I began this truck after a bad break up (shut up) and then, my best and really only friend got shot by the girl he was seeing ex. It's been A hard road.
Last night after repairing the ball joints and waiting on fresh forged control arms using a guys shop after hours. On my way home it seemed to not shift into 4th. Designated D on the column with an O around it. It also felt like it started in second gear before this. I manually downshifted into 3rd to make a turn and there was nothing. Acted like neutral. 2nd was the same. And first. Revs and nothing. No drag, driveline bind. Engine running fine. Just pure neutral feeling. There was no bang crack grind or screech or smell. It slowly coasted and ironically into the driveway of a dude on my hockey team in highschool i hadnt seen since. Crazy odds for where i was.
It was dark and 10 below zero and I was unprepared and cold. I pulled the battery post. Waited. It started still the same. I checked the fuses, all of them. I have a scan gauge 3. It provides live data but no log. It threw at first shift solenoid b low circuit. And after the battery pop, threw that and
P1864
P1860
The shift indicator lights also were intermittent on and off. Which the reverse indicator light sometimes didn't work all along. I dont know if thats a clue. I also noticed the lights for interior dome and the ignition acted funny one other time months ago, key wouldn't go in. My shift lever is also sloppy. So I didn't think much of it except the plate. It's a transplanted 5.7 from another 96. Same tranny. The tranny oil now is way high up the stick at idle. None on the ground. Before I go out in the cold today to try and scab this. I need a lil confidence. The questions I have are.
1. If the cable to the tranny snapped or was about to would I lose OD. And all gears like that.
2. Is that ******* accel coil messing this up. I regret that immediately.
3. with no fuse. I have no limp mode it behaves the same. Does a pump failure do this.
4. Is there any tricks I can do, to reset, or by any means eliminate the obvious. That my trans is gone
5. Has anyone ever experience this.
The engine check light has never worked. The 4wd takes engage and disengage to work its a floor shifter. The side markers don't blink unless headlights are off. I have some electrical issues somewhere but this??? I checked the grounds I could find and cleaned. Today I'll check pin E for 12v. And the cable. unfortunately I can't find the service manual for this hazie it's the only year missing my guy but thank you for all you've done. Prior to thjs I had shudders in low rpm in overdrive I eliminated with misfire solving. But Mayne. Oh, also I have one upstream o2 sensor broken off. So only have 1 going. It's in open loop but runs fine. Maybe that was dumb I was waiting for a new bung to weld up.
Any help would be appreciated. And if you wanna roast my ignorance. I fully deserve it and am ready lemme have it shtuckey. Hahah I drove around on this ball joint for 3 months. Taking bets on how long its got left. Who's in
Thanks everyone. Truly
