My drivers side door gets stuck all the time due to rust. So I have been in your spot a few times. From what I have found so far when mine gets stuck there are 2 ways the latch is operated. The Cable from the inner door panel will pull on the center latch mechanism which will rotate a rod down...
The BCM would be different as it is a gas truck going to a diesel 12v. But the 98 dash should hook up mostly with maybe some plug differences. The 98 dash still has Vac heater controls and a cable driven blend door. In 99 or 00 they went to stepper motors for the blend door but kept the vent...
It almost sounds like either 1: you have an injector cutting out/cracking 2: possibly the transmission slipping. Its a remote possibility but could be the VP having Air in the lines. I had a similar issue before I ditched the Raptor and went to FASS. Mine turned out to be air in my lines.
Personally I went the Retro route on my truck. I wall agree it can be a bit of a headache. One being if you have factory fogs the highbeams light will come on if you turn the fogs on. Apparently you need a resistor since the Retro removes resistance in the circuit. On a 96 I'd go with a set of...
Now that is some serious trouble and troubleshooting for sure! I can't think of anything off hand that would snap the connector like that. Possibly and its a remote possibility is that maybe the wire is getting caught on the shift linkage and putting stress on it till the plastic breaks off.
you are doing better with your O'Reilys than mine lol Mine only reads OBD2 basic codes. but i too have chased these gremlins. What i found for my issues is either 1: The sensor is dirty in the hub. 2: There is a pinch or a rub in the sensor wire.
I have only gotten a bad sensor once.
The Axles on these trucks use what is referred to as a CAD or Center Axle Disconnect. That being said in 2wd the gear to the front drive shaft is disengaged from the Transfercase chain. but on the Axle only one side is disconnected by a vacuum actuator. So this means that one side is still...
Typically its a gas cap not sealing all the way. But its a small leak detection so most likely just a fuzz out of range for the sensor to trip the light. If you reset the codes how long does it take before the code returns?
Well Congrats on your new to you truck! V10's are getting harder to find. I'd imagine that it has the 47RE Long tail if its an auto. Long tail just meaning the overdrive has a long output shaft for the 2wd and no transfer case. The bands do require a pan drop. Not sure how much a shop would...
I have seen the plug but never seen it actually connected to anything. My 98 had the same thing. Never did figure out what it was for and mine was unplugged just dangling.
Totally agree with pepper. Looks like they added a 2” block to the back. Looks like the U-Bolts might be a bit big. Should probably get some shorter ones of those. The spacer up front is upside down. Flip that over and get an alignment and you’ll feel a bit better driving it.
Well sounds like she got an interesting one. From what I know the 02 was the last with the 47re. the 03 and up i think are the 48re. Which is slightly different bolt pattern and is all electronic. The 47re only has electric lockup I believe. As for the steering I can get you some pics of stock...
