2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

[Tonyrodz]

I haven't had any time to work on my own crap in a while, my welding class is 6 hours every night after 8 hours of work which is pretty brutal and I've been catching up on some fleet maintenance for a buddy's AC repair company. I can tell the shift tower isolator is getting bad in the Tahoe because it's getting difficult to find 2nd gear and there's a ton of play when in gear hopefully I don't accidentally jump out of the gates before this weekend because it's a PITA to fix on the side of the road. I just now ordered the Redline GL4 so I should be 100% ready to add the PTO cooler and temp sensor this Saturday. The gauge cluster shouldn't be too much longer either because the truck is already up to 271k, I plan to get as close to 273k as I can without going over even if it means doing circles in the yard to squeak out the last mile or two.

Not much to take pictures of but here's a picture of a totally ***** spark plug from a 2006 F250 with the god awful triton 5.4 I worked on this weekend. The truck had such a bad misfire it wouldn't go above 40mph and shook like Apollo11 coming back through the atmosphere. Not sure why Ford decided to make the plug hex section so small I think it was a 9/16" and someone had attempted to remove it before and gave up after they half-rounded it off. The other bit of fun on this truck that I should have snapped pics of is that every single connector I've seen is broken and secured with zip ties. I mean every injector, coil pack, and sensor on the entire engine it seems. IDK if some Ape removed them all with channel locks or if the Fords of that era have cheap plastic connectors but it's a mess.

Ain't nobody shifting an NV4500 like that first guy, although he looks to have chosen the life of stick handling.

For real, I had a sudden urge to eat a hot dog as soon as I got it out of the box.

i meant it in a good way

 

[Erickk120]

How did you get a vid of him rev matching that good?

 

[Dantheman1540]

Got time to fix the loose shifter as well as install the PTO cooler. Went well and got the temp sensor installed just not wired up. I'm kinda confused at what wires to use, heres a pic of what I can find left over from the auto trans but it doesn't look like the typical circular 4l60 plug.

 

[randeez]

thats the plug to the neutral safety switch

and hey, ive missed you

So where is the trans harness at?

I've missed you too, I like your red rocket

Look again, the 13 pin round connector has to be there or the plug got cut off. Here’s the wiring diagram and pin out diagram for my 02, it should be the same.

That's the diagram I was looking at, idk where it could be. Where does it come down from? The engine bay? Does it come through the a grommet in the floorboard?

 

[Rocket Man]

It comes down the driver side frail rail and then to the TC and then over the top of the TC or trans to the pass side of the trans on mine. Not sure if it’s in the same harness as the neutral safety switch or separate. Pretty sure it just goes straight to the PCM so there should be no need to go through the floorboard but I’m not sure. I do know it’s in the same harness as the TC, it extends from the TC on to the trans.

TC you mean transfer case? Or Twerk Converter? Or Trans cross member?
I'll have to crawl back under there next weekend and look. Its gonna be a Tacoma driving week anyway I have a lot of crap to haul around.

 

[Rocket Man]

Come on man you’re killin me lol. Transfer case.

What @Rocket Man said. And @randeez is also correct on your other question. That plugs into the electronics where your shifter linkage goes. The other plug may be rear O2?

sometimes dealing with trannys....they'll tuck it up and behind, so there isnt a visible hangdown

Probably duct taped into the crack.

Oh yeah, it does look like an O2 plug totally useless.

See I much prefer to know what I'm playing with and have it all hang out.

Probably duct taped into the crack.

Is that the method you use?

Only way to get a date. Then later after a few drinks….surprise!
