Same here. I went.with the potentiometer from radioshack and mounted the rig above the 4wd shifter in the cab. What a Difference. The only issue is not having a proper environmental plug to match the tsp pigtail. Tinning wires and pins then heatshrinking is working but, a proper connector would...

GREETINGS All, I Tried the TPS mod posted in the recent TDR issue 83 (pg 92-93) offerd by Mr Dalgleish. I had normal voltage readings (.862) as per factory manual with no jumps indicating my TPS was in good shape ;-) I Round filed the holes as per the MOD but was unable to get to 1.8 v @...

Thanks for ur reply J. The seep is def coming from the lower outboard corner. I will check all the other hardware as well. On the road currently. D

update. new transmission mount installation seems to hae taken much of the shimmy out. solid through 2000 RPM now. $29. 99 at Autozone with lifetime warranty. East remove/install. I suspect the joints and center bearing are coming due..... thanks all

I discovered an oil seep coming from the injection pump. The leak is a solid seep (no breaks) and coming from the lower left corner of the access plate (see pic). I am finding it challenging to find the seal without buying a seal /rebuild kit. Any one have a lead on where I can get just the...

Yep, same condition with the old tires. Shimmy happens round 2k rpm all gears (i never use the O/D). no difference loaded or empty. Long drive coming up in a week will touch test the driveshaft and report back.

I have never reached 2k rpm in 4 wheel drive \ I hear ya on the u-joints but... . there are also conflicting opinions on product quality on "newer u-joints". some old dogs say only replace those OEM joints when absolutely necessary... they just don't make em like htey used too... . remember...

Transmission in park I ran er up to 2000 rpm and set for 20 sec or so. no shimmy at all so,..... back to mb u-joints and/or center bearing??? Took it to a local transmission guy in town for an opinion. he drove it, agreed on the shimmy at 2000rpm and ruled out damper, torque converter , and even...

Nick, solid troubleshooting tip there, should have thought of that... . exactly why this forum is so awesome. . getting tech tips others in the field. Will give it a "spin" and report back. thanks!

GAames. . LOL nice... . yeah i realized i fat fingered the spelling, thanks for the correction... . brought a smile to my face this morning with that one.

Rick, We had a similar tapping sound with temp during a recent 1800 mile road trip. I know you said you checked the fuel lines but just for a secondary QA mb put a wrench on em again. I got a 1/4 turn on one line and it solved the issue, I never thought that little twist of the wrench did...

Thanks for the reply. Yes my dampener is original but I have a mere 122k on this truck... . or is that a false sense of security? Never thought of it but I guess yea it would transfer a frequency right through wouldn't it?
