Back to my truck! after fixing the Blower and the speed sensor I decided to take the truck to Reno about 75 miles tot he VA Hospital about 5 miles in to the trip I tried the cruse control, it worked but was back and forth up and down so i turnd it off as it was going to make me sick. WTH? it worked before. I kept driving and about 20 miles away from home the speedo starts jumping from 70 to 75 and back to 70.. Ok i may have a short in the sensor plug as the tabs broke off and could be coming loose. I made it 30 miles to the autozone and bought a new pigtail and some electrical tape. The pig tail was not in stock but will be in a few hours. I can grab it on the way back home. I taped the plug up to make sure its tight. I jumped back onto the freeway. No change... Ok maybe the sensor is not good? I made it to the VA. After the VA appt. I went to go find the guy who sold me the quad . He lives about 25 miiles further from home. So I'm about 85 miles away from home and the spedo starts jumping from 80 mph to 0 back and forth. Well that sucks. I'm on a hill away from town and the trans start jumping all over in the gears and then spins freely. no power, then it comes back and then it goes away. I'm thinking the speed sensor is nuts and I'm hoping it is some how connected to the trans and my trans is not busted. I limped to the next town on the freeway going about 15 mph. Replace the sensor in the parking lot and go test it. It good! Cutting out all the rest I made it back home. So back to my last post about wanting to make it 4 days with out a breakdown is shot! I made it 12 hours????? till the blower issue and then another 12 hours till the next day to test it... Boys. I know Im bitching a lot here but does anyone else see the pain I'm in? LOL

 

Oh yeah after replacing all the AC stuff it all was still good. The blower motor worked after I beat it and about a hand full of black junk came out of it. well it was all old so here to another new system.

 

My truck made it all day with out breaking.. I never used it either.

 

If you don't drive it, you don't need to brake lol

 

Started it today. took a few times??? not even cold, maybe 60.

 

at 60 f it might need glow plugs on to start it


What is cranking RPM?

 

I can vouch that glow plugs are needed for 50*. Sounds like glow plugs to me

 

RPM. The form states 100 rpm minimum, but a real-world value is above 120 rpm.

 

Humm I don't know. Maybe the batteries are getting old? They
have died down a few times in the past.

 

Get a SD starter, you will see pistons flying out of the motor with that starter!

 

I went 65 miles today with out a breakdown but the rear back window did not want to go up with out help so i say that is still a fail.

 

Is it a 1 for 1 swap? no mods?

 

is that a 01 to 03 starter?

 

Yes. I have marginal starts when it cools down

 

Does it help much? I don't know if the block heater works, I have new GP in. For 70.00 I would do it if it helps for sure.
