New regulator on and everything appears okay Oo. Will keep an eye on the battery, it was on it when i got the truck and only has 660 CCA so it's undersized anyway. Gonna save up my pennies for a Deka.

Okay, apparently i have an external voltage regulator and it has gone bad. We were getting 16 volts at the battery at idle. Battery shows signs of being heated up and is leaking :rolleyes: . Disconnected the voltage regulator and check the voltage at the battery and everything checked out okay...

Okay, the more i search and read on here, the more it's looking like the PCM. I have been having OD issues too. No a/c problems except that i can't get it to blow colder than 60 degrees. I don't use the cruise control so i wouldn't know if it's acting up. If i were to install an extenal...

:( the battery was dead this morning. Have a mechanic friend coming by to check it out today. Sounds like it's the voltage regulator, i just hope it's external and i haven't fried too much stuff.

I've had my truck now for over a year. I've always thought the windows rolled up a little slow and the headlights were a little dim. I just wrote it off as being an older truck thing. My wife needed to drive the truck last week so i was without it until this weekend. SO, I get in and roll the...

Thanks for the info. I will clean the evaporator and check to see that the door is operating when i switch to max a/c. TDR has helped me with several problems and provided a wealth of info for me over the last year. I have my TDR sticker on the back window and tell people about it when the...

I was reading the thread about cleaning the evaporator under my dash. I think that may be the cure for my less than impressive upgrade to 134 last year Oo. I bet it has never been cleaned. Won't get any cooler than about 58 degrees. I guess the sound of rustling leaves when i turn the a/c on...

DV I have almost 210K on her. As far as plans go, i'm think mild at this point but will probably end up at wild sooner or later :-laf . Working towards a 16cm housing and bigger exhaust for now. Gauges and BHAF are already taken care of. Geenleaf..... I think i'll lean towards just...

I developed quite a leak on my injector pump. Being a very green wrench myself, I do have a mechanic friend helping me with this. We got the pump off and found that an o-ring was shot. What can we do now while the pump is off the truck and sitting on the bench... . other than crank up the full...

I hope you don't mind if i chime in on this thread... but came here today looking for an answer to a similar question. My scenario is quite the same as JApplegate's (i think). Earlier this winter when the temps got down into the 20's and i forgot to plug in i had no problems getting the...

What about leaking windows? I think i've traced down my wet floorboard problem to the back sliding window leaking. I was thinking i need to put some kind of sealer around it to stop the leak. The gasket looks to be in good shape and still pliable. The gest i'm getting from this thread is "no...

Yards were getting 125-200 for them when i was looking. However, i had one guy talked down to 100 bucks. Luckily i scored the free one before i bought it though.

As good a time as any for a first post and i've been dying to use this smiley :-laf . I was in the same boat as you, wanting a cd player. Like has been mentioned above... . find a later model factory radio w/cd player and it'll just plug right in. I think the one i found was out of a 97...
