    88-98 Service Manuals

    I'm unable to edit the opening post for this thread. Here are the links to the three PDF files. Remy Starter Upgrade Service Bulletin : Remy 10MT Direct Drive Starter to PG260 Gear Reduction Starter Upgrade Engine Parts Book : 2002-2004 5.7L V8 Engine OEM Parts Engine Service Manual : General...

    MT2500 ?

    Probably, if you can find the software cartridge(s). The Tech1 & Mastertech parts are getting a little thin on the ground. If you have a 96 97 98 or 99 domestic primary cartridge or the Black programmable primary cartridge with US Domestic unlocked, you have one of the better tools for the...

    Trying to pop out rear lower quarter indent 99 suburban

    There's some interesting tech called Dent Fix MAXI. It's not a paintless repair. You weld on keys and put a rod through and pull on the rod to put tension on the dent and hammer the edges. It's a stud welder with some specialized goodies and I bet it ain't cheap. Robby Layton showed how to use...

    1995 Tbi 350. Runs for 30 seconds then dies. Feels rough.

    Hopefully you kept the GM stuff you replaced with Chinesium. All or most of them were likely just fine. Always Always Always test before throwing parts at it. Chinesium parts usually make things worse not better. First thing to do is look at what wiring and grounds those sensors share and...

    MT2500 ?

    You want to be careful. If the scratches aren't bad try just polishing with Novus #3 clean with water & 91% Isopropyl alcohol, then #2 then clean again with 91% IPA & water, then Novus #1. Go down the rabbithole to 3000 grit wet paper if you can't remove the scratches with just polish. It...

    MT2500 ?

    From my research the Solus Pro installs the OS and software on flash chips soldered on the mainboard like all of the newer tools. It's end of life and I can't backup the OS and software package so if something got corrupted I'd be SOL. As nice as it is, that's one of the reasons I crossed it off...

    MT2500 ?

    I found a MODIS EEMS300 with manuals Bundle 12.4 Domestic, Asian, and Heavy Truck and an OK battery at a pawn broker. No European is no big loss to me. I don't work on Euro stuff and I have a current Autel Maxsys for most OBD II stuff. The screen lens suffered from the case rubbing against it...

    92-2002 Kelsey Hayes 4 Wheel ABS "Power Bleed"

    I thought the Hayes 4W ABS started in 1995, didn't think they offered anything other than RWAL before 1995. There are a bunch of little hydraulic pumps in the 4W ABS module. They have to be operated in sequence.

    88-98 Service Manuals

    More pages is the honest truth. My 2000 T400 is only four volumes. My 2005 T800 manual set is eleven. :Big Laugh:

    88-98 Service Manuals

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/142520162291 This one claims to have the factory shop books on CD for the 2000 GMT400 light trucks. If it's a decent set of PDF scans it's a really good price. There are a bunch of incomplete manual sets. Don't fall for that. Make sure all four volumes are there and...

    MT2500 ?

    I was cleaning off my workbench in the lab yesterday evening and I found the plastic bag with the old furry batteries that were inside that power pak. Cadmium is really toxic stuff so I don't want to just pitch em in the trash. It'll end up in the groundwater. We already have roadsalt and...

    MT2500 ?

    The RJ12 jack you circled on the back is an RS232 serial port. You can send data to a VT100 terminal or RS232 serial printer. The MT2500 doesn't have an external power supply. The vehicle diagnostic port provides power and ground on Terminals 1 & 15 to run the tool. The 9V battery will power...

    RPO code and others

    The RPO codes are in the front pages of the light truck parts books. Unfortunately GM stopped printing parts books after the 1993 model year. I have fiches for the 1994-2000 light trucks but I haven't digitized them.

    Need help… what is this dang thing!

    The 87-93 wiring diagrams are 11x17 pages. They scale fairly well to Arch-B 12x18 if you have access to a printer that will handle pages that big. I use the PDF search function on the scanned copies then stick Post-it notes in the paper manuals.

    MT2500 ?

    Rather than open my brick back up I did a search for one that's been opened. It's been a couple years since I cleaned my scanner. Notice the lovely celluloid ribbon cables for the monitor. Alll kinds of fun to get those situated so they don't come out when you close the shell...
