    Flexplate replacement? Yes/No

    Each rectangle is a tooth. Each representing the worst and best teeth I saw on the plate. I assume that the wear areas are where the starter engages the plate. Sorry, looking back I se it is a bit confusing.

    Flexplate replacement? Yes/No

    Was able to view the flex-plate and I am not sure if I need to replace or not. Some of the teeth look to be worn half way while some have almost no wear. . Sorry, forgot camera at garage. Do I replace it or should it be good for another 100,000+? Thanks again for all the help.

    comment FPR gauge warning

    I traced a diesel smell in the cab to the gauge under the hood. Fluid had leaked out of the gauge and was also leaking fuel at idle. It is no longer in the truck and the smell has left the cab.

    do ya know what the cut red, black , white and blue wires are?

    If I am correct, they are wires that you can use to hook accessories up to. Under the dash should be the other end of the wires. Forget the "correct" name but that is the purpose.
