    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Was Running Fine, Then Just stopped

    Jim, I went to Midwest injection. Someone here suggested them, the price was right under $1100 and they give you 30 days to return your old pump, after that they will charge your card the $400 core charge. Go ahead and do it before your truck strands you somewhere. David

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Was Running Fine, Then Just stopped

    Well I finally found the time to replace my injection pump this afternoon. It actually went fine, took about 3-4 hours. I did find that the rear support bracket on the pump was broken per someones speculation. And this person said that if you don't repair the bracket, you will lose your pump...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Was Running Fine, Then Just stopped

    Did it again Well, against what I knew was true, the truck was running again and a freind suggested just trying to bleed each injector. Did that, went for a test ride. Everything fine, 1/2 mile from home and it is dead on the side of the road. Plenty of juice coming out of the filter, nothing...

    no 0216 code Guys, before I go thru the effort of replacing the IP, I have been doing some more reading and almost all say they have the 0216 code come up when it is time to do the VP44. I have not had that. Is it possible it is something else? I hate replacing parts without being sure it is...

    Thanks Shawn. From everything I have been reading it seems as though I think your right. Oh well, there goes $1100. So much for the watch I was bidding on at Ebay!! I think I am going to go with Performance Diesel for the new VP. They seem knowledgable and willing to help on install. I rebuild...

    If it is the VP, how do you test it to make sure. There are no dealers locally that are capapble of diagnosing this, so I will do it. But I don't want to just start throwing parts at this thing. BRY1216, thanks for the thoughts, but I have checked all of those things. I am also a big fan of...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Was Running Fine, Then Just stopped

    Yes it is. And, I unplugged the connector to the IP looked fine, all greased up, plugged it back in. The engine started. I figured good to go. Went out for a drive. Less than a mile down the road it started to stumble and then quit. I started at the plug again, in and out a few times. Nothing...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Chirp/no chirp on remote locks for 98.5

    I have posted this a while back with no real response. Do any of you guys with early 2nd gen. have a chirp when you lock or unlock your doors? I do not have the factory alarm but was told that you could activate the chirp if you wanted. The dealer knew nothing about this of course so any help...

    Hey all, I think my radio/head unit that controls my Alpine CD changer has died. the radio works fine, but I can't seem to access the changer. Does anyone have a stock radio sitting around that they would like to sell? Please let me know. Hate listening to the radio all of the time...

    Lift Pump Dies at 36021

    lift pump/ pusher pump Alright, now I know I am an idiot! I thought that if you installed a "pusher pump"back near the fuel tank, that would take care of your problem if the lift pump went. Now with these results I am confused. I have 35K on my truck, no mods, running fine, knock, knock, and...

    low voltage at back up lights

    Here's another odd question. I was repairing my aux. back up lights that I have hooked into my regular ones. I blew my test light bulb so went to my volt meter. I was reading only 7. 5-8. 5 volts at the bulb sockets. I took one out and hooked up to a 12 volt source and what a difference. We...

    chirp on remote lock

    remote lock chirp Hi Guys, I have tried both suggestions on how to enable/disable this feature. Neither worked. I have tried a few times. I don' t have the alarm on my truck, could that be the difference? I have scoured my owners manual as well with no luck. Any other suggestions would be...
