    Bad Torque converter, or something else.

    I've been chasing a gremlin for a while now......I've only been driving the 2dr for 100 miles a month or so for fear of doing more damage. So I have low miles on rebuilt trans. Maybe about 7-10k on it. Wasnt pleased with the shop. Moved to a new city and went by word of mouth to find a place...

    Torque Motor Lockout....Why?

    So Ive read up on what triggers this, but my question is, why is it happening? I've been battling this P1870 code for way too long...well over a year. I had a new rebuilt put in last year and its been back to the shop 2 times for 1870 code. Now that its warming up down south I'm starting to...

    No day running lights, and a relay that gets super hot.

    Hello everyone, I was looking for some thoughts on an electrical issue with the daytime running lights. So the other day I was on the road and noticed in the reflection of another vehicle that my running lights were not on. A little while later I hear a popping and crackling sound coming from...

    Suggestions concerning an odd vibration.

    Thanks for the input, fluid level is good. I had it checked today. I'll take a look at the ujoints. We did so much work to the truck that I can't honestly remember if they were looked at or not. Likely not because at the time they weren't causing any issues. I've gone through ujoints over the...

    Suggestions concerning an odd vibration.

    Hello all. I was trying to get some theories on vibration I'm getting. I'll try to describe this best as I can. Doesn't really match up with previous threads. So while driving in 60-80 mph range I will often get a very high frequency vibration. I can feel it in the wheel, feet and through the...

    96 Folding Rear Seat (2 door) diagram

    I'm having crazy problems with my rear seat. The cable has stripped itself, or is no longer attached to the locking mechanism. Its very tight back there and cant see anything. So as a result I cant fold my seats down. I suppose I'll have to remove the entire seat to get access and come up with...

    Need help in diagnosing this

    Bingo. Just finally solved this. I was started throwing a transmission code. On a fresh rebuilt one. I still need to speak to the transmission guy. I was out of town and had my woman drop it off and pick it up. So she was trying to explain to me what he had told her. Not easy. In any...

    Oil Pressure....Should I be worried?

    I hoping on your theory retorq. Since I underwent this I have a slew of problems that I wish on no man. My gas mileage has been in the gutter since the swap to. Picked up a scan gauge which I'm really digging to monitor everything.....and its all within parameters. It just bothers me a little...

    Oil Pressure....Should I be worried?

    I was just looking for a second opinion on something.......I just recently re powered with a stock Vortec. Put a few thousand miles on her and things are starting to settle in. One concern I have is that my oil pressure is freakishly high......at least way higher than it was before the re...

    Having an intermintent cranking prob. Thoughts?

    I'm having a weird starting problem. About once a week when I go to start up the truck acts like the battery is stone dead. Starter wont turnover or click, but all the lights come on. Then I go to hook up jumper cables and it cranks instantly. Then its fine for another week. I just changed...

    MPG Mystery

    Thanks sunlit. I see what I can do to get a scan done. My gut feeling says its something with the O2 sensor or something small.

    Mystery leak?

    You replace the windshield recently? I had the same problem. Water would drip from the blower area and pool under the running board where the passenger door met the frame. Carpet would get all flooded out in the rain. Tracked it down to the upper portion of the windshield where water was...

    MPG Mystery

    Hello gents I'm looking for some theories in regards to why I'm getting very bad MPG. I'm stumped at this point. But I've eliminated some possibilities. So about 6 months ago I began an extensive rebuild. it quickly mushroomed into an out of control and painful experience. I've had more...

    Torque converter question

    Thanks for the info torq. I'm hoping its just the converter. Going to have look inside of it in a week or two and take it from there. I just relocated to FL so I'm starting over with locating a good trustworthy shop. But initial diagnosis was the converter. I was hoping for just a leaky...

    Torque converter question

    Torque Converter question. I was hoping to gather some info on the torque converter. Mine is going out. slipping at high speeds and loads and some venting of the fluid. Low speed you would never know, except for the poor gas mileage. I went way over budget on my latest project so I'm feeling...

    My rebuild of 1996 LT....almost like new. Sort of a lenghty post.

    It’s taken about 2 years of on and off again work and a wad of cash, but I finally got her about where I want her. I owe many thanks to the folks on here for recommendations and their knowledge. Sunlit deserves a lifetime supply of beer. Here’s a little time line with some pics. Some of the...
