hey guys, just recently purchased a 1998 chev, ext cab short bed fleetside,
the guy i bought it off of switched it from its original condition being a ( 98 vortec 305 4l60e 4x4 on the right side of the dash )
to what it is now, 98 305 vortec 4x4 on the right side of the dash button, but it now has a nv3500 manual swap ??? maybe nv4500?
was told it came out of a 4.3l v6 4x4 5 speed truck.
The First Issue : the guy did and okay swap, but did lie to me about a few things, he didn't change the steering colum, he just de-pinned the auto shifter handle, and i do not like it the way it is, what can i find a colum out of that will work for me as it being a 98?? will the 98 s10 5 speed work? and does it have to be from a 4x4??
The Second Issue : my second problem is the guy pulled the check engine bulb in the cluster and lied and said the cluster was changed but he just covered the gear indicator with tape, which is fine in the day time but at night it still shines through... and is just as annoying as the check engine light being on.. wondering what truck i could pull a 5 speed cluster out of and have it for one fit in the dash correctly... and plug into the existing wiring clips.. which i believe to be the original 1998. i was wondering about a 98 s10 cluster possibly? or maybe one out of a 88-94 cluster be the same shape and wiring? curious to know what u guys have tried.
The Third And Biggest Issue : The guy told me a 5 speed ecu was swapped in, i bought it certified but not emission tested. i live in Ontario Canada and we have retarded emission laws that just keep getting sticky' ER!
well of course when i first drove it in the parking lot i didn't find an issue with it at first, but then after driving it i noticed that it has a rev hang almost from having an auto ecu in it still. well i took it to have it e-tested and it failed miserably.. not because of the emissions from the motor itself, the engine does have a
P0143 which comes back to an 02 sensor circuit low voltage bank 1 sensor 3 would love to know what i need to fix this. And A...
P0507 which comes back to an idle air control system higher than expected, From an auto ecu possibly? or maybe it does have an idle issue? but it doesn't misfire or idle weird at all hot or cold. driving or parked. the exhaust does stink tho. also have the following
P0740 code for a torque converter clutch circuit/ open .. not sure because maybe nothing plugged into the tranny wiring? was told it was all removed, but haven't checked. maybe because it has an automatic ecu still? another code...
P0753 code for shift solenoid A electrical...
P0758 code for shift solenoid B electrical.... unsure of the reasoning behind both of these.. shed some light please..
Oh And to boot there's only enough room for 5 codes on a canadian tire e-test sheet and they want me to pay a diagnostics fee to determine the remainder of the codes showing...
so my main question as i'm getting a million different awnsers is how do i fix the ecu issues to get rid of the tranny codes? do i take my ecu in and have the dealer re flash it and pay out the bumm in fee's? i'm also hearing find another ecu for them to re flash because at least the tune on the current ecu is drive able somewhat, but if i try to find a 5 speed ecu or an automatic ecu what do i find one in that will work ?? i was also told it was never offered from factory to come with a 305 vortec 5 speed dash shift electronic 4x4 so where do i find one whats my best option??
another issue is he wired the reverse lights to a toggle switch left laying on the floor ran up through the shifter boot to pass a saftey.. said the tranny needs a reverse light switch and light would be a help as to what i order the switch for and to where i wire it in so that it works properly would be greatly appriciated.
sorry about some spelling and such kind of in a scramble.. as i just payed 4400 bucks for a truck that was supposed to be certified and etested.. and recieved a fictious saftey and... an expired etest, i would normally question the seller but he lives 6 hours away...
would like any help i can get this is my first post on this fourm with an account i had browsed ocasionally before and was told this is the spot to go please dont let me down guys im in a pickle !
