    Brake warning light and temp gauge question

    I'll have to get one of those. I'll have to use it on my PC since I don't have an android, but that'll be ok. Now onto the brake issue... I guess ill start replacing sensors until the codes go away. Edit: Scanner will be here Monday. Apparently they don't read ABS codes, but it'll help with my...

    Brake warning light and temp gauge question

    Well, I went to Oreilly's today to see if their scanner would show engine temp, and it wouldn't. It did, however, find 4 codes pertaining to the brakes. Pics are attached.

    Brake warning light and temp gauge question

    Brakes are a little spongy after the brake job, so i'll be bleeding them, but it's always been on. Had to open the system because when I went to put the passenger side brake pads on, even with the piston completely compressed I lacked close to 1/4 inch of being able to fit them over the rotor...

    Brake warning light and temp gauge question

    Hey everyone! Been driving my 99 V10 4x4 for a while now and I'm starting to tend to some of its issues. Just got done changing the ball joints, rotors and axle u-joints a few hours ago. Question 1: Ever since I've had it, the "Brake" warning light has been on. ABS light is not on. All of the...

    '97 1500 3.9 - 5.2 Swap

    What I would see you needing is the engine/trans, engine harness, computer, driveshaft because the one for an auto will be a different length, and pedal assembly. If the trans comes from behind a 360, you will need to get a different flywheel since 360's are externally balanced. An ax-15 out...

    heat only coming out of winshield vents

    I want to say that the vacuum line that feeds the controls enters the cab on the passenger side of the engine compartment around where the ac lines and heater hoses go through the firewall.

    shutter in reverse

    If you do a fluid and filter change (Which probably wouldn't be a bad idea) I would suggest putting Type F fluid in it. 727's and 904's, especially ones with some miles on them, like it much better than dex 3 or the universal stuff. While you have the pan off, you might adjust the reverse band...

    What if I stuck this in my 01 1500?

    Are they the same width as what you have?

    Rebuild 5.9L v8 or swap it?

    Sounds like a good choice. You won't be disappointed with the performance.

    Rebuild 5.9L v8 or swap it?

    I love the v10 in mine. It would be the simplest swap. All I think you would need would be a harness, computer and a bell housing from another v10 or from a diesel. Gas mileage will suck though. I love 383's though.. It would certainly be cool to see one in one of these trucks. I've read of...

    Transmission not shifting

    My v10 truck is the same way in terms of how it shifts. Seems it likes to shift at 3k RPM most of the time unless you let off the throttle. My truck has been sitting since the engine took a crap in early 2013, but when I was changing the engine I found that the trans was a re-manufactured unit...

    water dripping under dash

    Thanks for clearing the air bag thing up. I had to pull it to install the new dash. I'll have to say, I don't recall unhooking a large electrical connector at the center of the dash, just the few for the airbag, blower and blower motor resistor. So you're saying I didn't have to take that...

    water dripping under dash

    Changing the heater core really isn't that bad of a job. When I replaced my dash, I decided to go ahead and change both the heater core and the A/C evaporator core while I was in there. I would suggest doing both of these because they're dirt cheap. I think I got both for around $60 total on...

    Pics of your 2nd gen ?

    Thanks guys! It still needs some work but it's coming along. Those wheels came off of my grandfather's 2000 Chevy truck. I didn't see any branding marks on them when i mounted those tires on them, but then again I didn't really look. I think they are Weld's, though. I didn't really like them...

    Pics of your 2nd gen ?

    Here's my 99. Got it a few months ago with a v10 that had a blown head gasket and was worn smooth out. It was sitting at a local yard and was about to have a car stacked on top of it. Picked up another v10 in Tulsa with 97k miles on it and now it's happy as can be. Gave it a good washing and I...
