    EBPV mod

    Seeking help from the electrical gifted OK, I played today and did make some gains. But still have a block. This is the new diagram that is how I have the system now. Moved the diode from above. To me it looks like it should work, but alas... When the switch is in brake on mode, it...

    EBPV mod

    By my understanding of the diagram, the grey w/ red is the positive and the black w/ grey is negative. Use this site for yours. Follow the directions for the manual and you should be good.

    EBPV mod

    Well, after having some lunch and looking over the directions and what I did, I found my mistake. I switched the wires for the EBPV and the torque converter. Fix and it does work, just not perfect. When the switch is flipped to the constant on, it works fine. But when flipped to on by...

    EBPV mod

    OK, well after looking at the directions, again, I saw that I mixed up two wires. The one for the converter and the one for the valve. Switched them and it does work when I flip the switch to the constant on position. What I am not sure of is when I flip the switch on the on by brake...

    Rear Axle Ratio

    If I remember correctly, it means you have a limit slip 3.73 rear. Someone will correct me if I am wrong. Also, welcome to SDD, stick around for awhile and enjoy the fun.

    Auto Hub Maintenance

    I finally decided to pull the from auto lock hub off the truck to clean. But for the life of me, I can not remember what is the best to do. Do I just soak them? In what? Or should I tear them apart, as far as possible, and clean and soak? Anything else to check? Thanks

    Well, I asked about my poor running truck, and was told to check oil. I was 7qts low! It ran very bad. Stumbling, didn't want to go, felt like the truck was towing when it was not. Runs good now:thumbs

    Amsoil Torque-Drive still acceptable?

    I just want to ask before I spend the small fortune on 5 gallons of it. I remember reading about it a long time ago that it is OK due to being Mercon, but not Mercon V, rated. Anybody using it, and have comments? Hope to have this for when I do the Sonnax mod that is sitting in the...

    Stumbling, doesn't want to go

    Hello everybody. Last Thursday I did the WW and installed a new exhaust. Last Sunday I floored it to get on to the highway, just for fun. When I let off the throttle, I looked back and saw some white smoke, not much, just a bit. Figured I was burning the oil residue out of the new exhaust...

    What did I learn today

    Today I learned that two gaskets are not better than one. I was changing my fuel filter, had the new gasket in place and put the lid on. Turned key to look for leaks, and that is when I noticed part of the gasket sticking out the side of the lids. But not before a little diesel spray...
