Yea, it is a very awesome thread to read. Dragin, I consider you a lucky person to see all the history he has, I stare at the pics he post, I could imagine seeing then in person.
I still haven't t it flush, all the tranny shops I called said don't flush it. But I did find out a new thing that is going on. If I have overdrive off, it will shift up and down and not into limp mode. I don't know what difference that makes.
I haven't rebuilt it since I have owed it, about 6 years 20,000 miles. In the mountains of paper work that came with the car, the previous owner did work on it, (trans lab shift kit, end clutches, external fluid cooler, ect.) He wasn't alive for me to ask what all he did to it for sure.
The...
Ok, since I couldn't find out how to test the pulse generators, I tracked down a new one (very hard) and not an oem one. I changed it and it didn't fix it. What should I try next? How does the car shift when the end clutches are bad? I really want to fix it, but I don't want to keep blindly...
I drain what was in the pan and put ATF4+ in so I could drive it to get it flushed. I missed getting it there in time to the place for them to flush it. On the drive over there and back it acted the same way. I know there still some of the other fluid in there, but I figured it should of made...
Ok, my first question is Redline D4 ATF tranny fluid ok to use? I thought it was (, but now I am not sure. I have been thinking about it, am my car started shifting differently after I changed the filter and put a new gasket on to fix a leak it had. It has gotten progressively worse, and now it...
Hi, I am having a starting problem. I usually have to have my car crank for a couple seconds for the fuel pump to prime the lines (I think). It started making a noise where it seem to "slip" a little, but kept cranking and starting fine, so I lived with it. But Tuesday, the starter sounded like...
Just wanted to say thanks for the reply and give what I found out. I went back and checked everything and the O-rings, especially the top one was to thick. Got the right size on there and it worked perfect.
Ok, I'm at a loss. I have had a power steer leak. I thought it was the pump (wanted to rebuild it anyway). That wasn't it. Found out it was the high pressure hose where it goes from rubber to metal. Bought one from O'reilly, replaced it and it leaked at where the hose meets the pump at the banjo...
Yes, it should/will work, as long as it uses the same plug ins. It will throw off the shifting points though. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-drivetrain/277172-1g-tcu-guide.html Here is a great link.
You were not wrong for calling. But, what I would do now is bring it to someones attention. It's their job and if they don't take things serious, who know what might happen.When some bad storms happend were I live, we were victims of a hit and run. We went and found him, along with a box truck...
It's might not be his driving he's worried about. I would be worried about other drivers texting, getting theirselves prettied up in their mirrors, or grabbing their twinkie and coke they dropped. I've kinda been wanting cage with seats and harness in my car since I was in a wreck sitting at a...
http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-drivetrain/277172-1g-tcu-guide.html my cel never came on when I was having tranny problems. I was told it wouldn't, but I don't know. I was just trying to help narrow it to the tcu since he might possibly have a good one.
I first noticed it was so high because I failed the emission test here. My fuel is at 80psi. I can adjust it down to 60psi with my afpr, it is a full throttle speed one from years ago if it matters, with the screw all the way out. I took the fuel return line off and put a hose running to a...
http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-drivetrain/277172-1g-tcu-guide.html here is that link, I figured out how to post a link from my phone. That number is the same as mine, which means it is for an awd. It would still work, but I think it would throw off your shift points. What I meant by...
Have you tried to pull a code? It is in the vfaqs on how to or you can look through my previous posts for a link, if my computer wasn't messed up I would post a link. My car did the same thing a while ago, but I would get stuck in 3, eventually the tcu went bad.And good luck finding a tcu...
When you do pull the vacuum line off of the afpr and plug it, should there be a dfference in pressure before and after you pull the hose?And should it be in park or drive, I have an auto?
Is the vacuum line on the afpr? And does it matter where the guage is, like does it need to be with the afpr or can it be about a foot and a half before the fuel rail? Btw my afpr is an older one and goes on the end of the fuel rail if it helps any.
What is everyone's thoughts on black powder? I'm looking in specifics advise on fun to shoot and trade in/resale just in case I don't like it. Anyway, I have a potental trade worked out for a stainless ruger old army in 45 or a blued ruger old army in 45 and a euroarms repoduction of a remington...
I don't believe there are any relays. I would try and pull a code before you go to buy another tcu, just to see if it is bad. It could just be a sensor is bad or came unplugged, and you replaced your tcu for no reason.
In the middle row 2nd, 3rd, or 4rd on the left. I forgot which one. It is a 10 amp fuse. Also, I don't think it would throw up a cel, or at least mine didn't. But mine was the tcu, so that could be why I didn't get a light.
My parents Expedition just had the cool heat part of your problem. They had to get it backed flushed, which is only flushing the heater core out I think. Their hea works great now. My dads Toyota also had no heat. We flushed out just the heater core on his truck and now it has heat.
Here is the link I think he is talking about: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-drivetrain/277172-1g-tcu-guide.htmlA transmission shop told said they could pull the codes for me. My problem was intermittent at the time and was never in limp mode when I was there, so I can't tell you...
