    P0700 and P2706

    I have this exact issue and am about to investigate so will update here as to the fix! Hopefully. Should be Wires or MS Solenoid or PCM. Notoriously a pain to diagnose which one. If you want to add you best ideas or most common fault of the three.........?

    Transmission slip/slow to engage on start up after sitting

    Update on mine.......I looked in the pan and the pancake filter had come out. Typical issue but the seal was not strong so I had to use a new one which tapped in firmly and flush as advised. I guess it was flapping about and only when the fluid got hot was there expansion and some suction to...

    68RFE slow to engage reverse

    Did the new filter solve it?

    Transmission slip/slow to engage on start up after sitting

    I have fitted the ATP B245 kit a couple of years back and it was ok but noticed some drainback overnight that got worse and worse. Two weeks ago I did another ATF +4 and filter swap with another ATP B245 kit. Now it doesn't move for 2 minutes until pumped up and warm. Throwing code P0944 Loss of...

    Rear Brake shoes twist when applied - Parking Brake

    I think they were unbranded. If I come across the box I will update. Most of these shoes are made of the same metal plate and could come angled. I would check and grind them flat so they sit at 90 degrees and don't twist. Brakes still working solid 20K later and I use my park brake daily.

    Rear Brake shoes twist when applied - Parking Brake

    I got this resolved back in December. Both brands of rear shoes I had were made of pressed steel. This process makes angled edges to the shoes where they sit on the rear axle brackets and the star tensioning wheel expanders. Don't know how nobody else has had this problem? Maybe it's typical for...

    Rear Brake shoes twist when applied - Parking Brake

    Yeah I'm ordering new backing plates and more hardware. It was actually all new a while back after I exploded the diff when the pinion nut came off. Star wheel etc look new. A pin broke a while back and fell out (got stuck in the drum) I think I will add new rotors and shoes as well as the time...

    NHTSA Safety Recall 04-05 Trucks

    Since my post in 2015 my pinion nut came off in 2018. I was not covered on the recall when I checked in 2015 so thought there was no issue! Pinion dropped into the diff and ripped it all apart. No recall................. so rebuilt it myself. Threadlock and banged those spline tabs hard into the...

    Rear Brake shoes twist when applied - Parking Brake

    When I apply the parking brake it is weak and doesn't hold the truck at all. I have adjusted the start adjusters each side and the cable tension (afterwards) to full tension. I noticed that on application the shoes twist and can be seen sticking out past the rotor and bending the backing plate...

    Rack and Pinion seals replacement

    I saw this post a few years back. I was worried that no one knew how to change all the seals in the rack? I added that lucas sealing liquid and it has lasted a few years!!! but now the leak is back and worse and I need to change the seals. Is it worth it? I m going to try anyway as I have the...

    Clockspring for Intermittent Airbag Light

    This must be standard stuff to a lot of you. A DRBIII should be a sofware program that you run on your laptop and plug straight in to the ECU / ABS etc. One thing I have noticed is the speedo goes fully to 0 now whereas before it said 1-2 mph. So it may be an obvious sign to replace the rear...

    Clockspring for Intermittent Airbag Light

    It's fixed !!!!!!! I had nearly given up. The way the module was buzzing I thought it was fried. Got worse until on a lot at low speed. My last attempt before dealer and days lost was to swap out the rear speed sensor on the pumpkin. The sensor had a bit of metal hanging and a bit of...

    Clockspring for Intermittent Airbag Light

    So I will change the rear sensor and then if that doesn't fix I will get the thing on a DBRIII. I have never had a car at the dealer for the last 25 years. The times I've been there for others and parts has been the slowest, sadest waste of time much like a hospital visit where you...

    Clockspring for Intermittent Airbag Light

    So I tried wriggling the wires on the front speed sensors and the brake hoses with the truck in park, running, stationary. The airbag and brake lights illuminated on the dash from the right side front - simple right must be the sensor? Ordered a new sensor and replaced. When I took the old out...

    Clockspring for Intermittent Airbag Light

    Thanks - this is a dealer job right for a DRBIII I never want to go to the dealer here in the UK - could take days I thought I could make a lucky guess since the clockspring fixed it before?
