I agree, Stanadyne. If I understand corectly, the stanadyne company builds injector pumps and with the tree hugging folks and related polution issues, the fuel companies developed the new low sulfer fuels and also removed some of the lubricants so vital to our pumps. Stanadine is an after...

The way I had this explained to me is: The DRL module supplies a ground to the headlights, BUT hooks them up in series, so the voltage is dropped from 12V to 6V during the daytime (headlights off) When you turn on your headlights, the circuitry in the DRL Module looses this ground, and the...

Check your daytime running light module. It should be on the driverside fender, its a black box about the size of a brick but 1" thick. It will have a cable plugged into the end. I replaced mine for about $110. 00. Just something to check as far as daylights go, not too sure with the dash...

Ordered Summit harness today, should be here in a few days.

Just had a similar problem myself. My thread is just down a couple from here "no headlights". I'm changing my switch tomorrow (if NAPA deliveres as promissed). Summit harness in the mail. I believe they have a new Part # amc-????? Check my other thread for more info / link to the harness...

When you first start, check with a test light to see if you are getting power at the different posts on each of the relays. I found that only one of the two grids were working when I checked mine out last winter. One of the relay housings was cracked and subsequently got corroded inside. What...

Good idea on the Summit Harness. As I am late it appears for the $20 deal, does anyone know if the new $29 has all the relays etc. Regardless I will be ordering one Monday, Thanks alot for the tip on this. New dash switch ordered from NAPA $54 CDN, will arrive Tuesday. Hope it works...

Well I think I'll go with the dash switch first as it is probably the easiest and hopefully cheapest. I'll let you know what happens. Thanx guys

Because of the milage on the truck, I have had many electrcal issues of one sort or another, all lighting related issues have been coroded wiring due to crappy after market splicing (not mine ). This one I was thinking a broken ground, but I think this is not the case as the driving lights...

I'm Back with another problem. My headlights do not work. I have daylight running lights, park lights work. No dim headlights, no high beams either. The highbeams will work if you hold the signal switch back but it is probably just working normally through the daytime running light...

I never had the clunk, however I need to replace my front shocks I think. I hit a pot hole at about 45 MPH. The right front tire started to jump up and down like a basketball. Truck shook so bad I couldn't get a hold of the stickshift. I thought the doors were going to fly off before I could...

I had same thing last year, my lights would not shut off, the module was very hot!!!! around $120 CDN, all is good.

Hey I think I may have lucked out. Seems to be working OK so far last 2 mornings, temp has dropped to about -10*F no problems. When I replaced the grid heater wire harness, there were two wires, a blue and a black (brown maybe?). they were in poor shape so I replaced the terminal lugs and...

Mechanic, I think you are on to something wrt the wiring and voltage. The truck has very very tiered wiring harnesses. I have found and fixed many wires and terminal ends that have corroded through or off!! My next search was going to be for a comand wire somewhere that is hanging on with...

Well two out of three oil leaks fixed, still one bad one from plate behind the injector pump ( just had a new injector pump installed... . not paying for that one again, oil leak or not ). Two new big batteries and a new starter. The problem with no crank is still there intermittenlly. Seems...
