The first 10 inches of the cable is all black inside when you splay out the strands. After that it's good copper. Changing the ends out may have fixed the problem for a while, but it's likely that this corrosion would continue. I'm glad I replaced all of the cables.

The first cable that I made today was the driver side battery to ground. As soon as I got it hooked up along with the fusible links, everything was fixed. :D It was pretty cold and I didn't have enough daylight to do any more than the ground. I cut the insulation off of the old ground. The...

I appreciate all of the help in this forum. I just want to give a status update. I have more 4/0 cable on order and military type battery lugs. I have fusible links from Geno's for the alternator and grid heater coming as well. I have a hydraulic crimper and I plan on just replacing...

Ok, I'm having trouble getting my multimeter to get a good reading while cranking. It won't let me lock it into a range. It wants to auto scale. I'm also afriad of cranking too much with the fuel pump fuse unplugged. I don't want to cause any damage from drying out the injection pump. I...

I took the batteries out and charged them. Got them both to 12.6v and put them back in. Still getting the lightning bolt and p063d. Though it is much easier to start now. I agree, once a battery dips that low in voltage it is permanently damaged and needs to be replaced. I will try to get that...

I agree with this statement, though the batteries are only 10 months old. They are from Costco and have a warranty. I can easily replace the bad one, I don't think they will warranty the one that is still charged up as it should be. What concerns me is that at only 10 months old, something...

Update. AC pressure is low. It's the cold season now. I am going to have to take it to an AC shop. If the pressure is low, then I definitely have a leak. Probably the compressor. I suspect it got pretty hot when the clutch bearing burned up. If it isn't low, it must be the sensor.

Ok, need help troubleshooting. When I start the truck it cranks and then dies a few seconds after starting. After a few starts and giving it some skinny pedal with the start it stays started. The red lightning bold appears and about 5 seconds after starting the check gauges light comes on. I...

Well, TIPM didn't do it. Still no juice to the a/c clutch magnet. I started digging deeper. I'm going to try graphing a/c pressure on alphaOBD. I hope it can read and graph it. That will tell me if I have a problem with the pressure switch. I may have to trace the wires through the harness...

Dorman TIPM is on the way. I had a 20% coupon code for AutoZone bringing the price with tax town to $370 + $300 core charge. I had some other problems with my TIPM that I was bypassing to make things work. I finally broke down and got this one instead of doing another work around.

It's starting to look like a TIPM problem. I am going to try putting a relay on the connector for the magnet to see if it has enough power to energize it. The relay in the TIPM seems to be the problem. It kinda works but when drawing current it falls flat on its face. I haven't found a...

the magnet is about 5 ohms. There is no diode. It measures the same when changing polarity. When back probing the connector with the magnet connected I get 0 volts. When I unplug it it jumps to 11.49v. I checked the gap again. 15'''. I smacked it with a small dead blow hammer to see if it would...

The 11.26v that I got was at the connector with the magnet unplugged. I will check with it plugged in and get the resistance from the magnet in the AM. I have 2 spare magnets now. I think there may be a fried relay somewhere because the old magnet that came out had taken quite a beating. The...

The instructions said to mount the clutch and spin the pulley. If the clutch contacts the pulley put the spacer washers in one at a time until the pulley spins freely without touching the clutch. That is what I did. There is one washer in there. I would say 15-20'''. I can put a feeler gauge...

Ok, here I am two months later. I replaced the fan clutch and fan blade with OEM. The duralast fan clutch was weak and only spinning at half speed. It also chewed up some fan blades because it's bracket for keeping the wires clear of the blade was about an inch shorter than OEM. I couldn't...

I found the blurb in the FSM for the post installation procedure: "NOTE: Viscous Fan Drive Fluid Pump Out Requirement: After installing a new viscous fan drive, bring the engine speed up to approximately 2000 rpm and hold for approximately two minutes. This will ensure proper fluid distribution...

The truck is parked for now. I'm positive the AC clutch is buggered. I don't think the aftermarket fan clutch ever performed as it should have. Thinking about it now, I was constantly watching my temps when towing heavy after installing it. I just chalked it up to it being blazing hot last...

Ok, I ran some diagnostics on my fan. It runs just under 300 rpm most of the time. When it gets a request from the computer to increase in speed it then runs 650-750 depending on the engine rpm. Is this acceptable? I also noticed the ac compressor clutch is rattling and making a hell of a...

Wow, thanks for that. I guess I have a lot to learn about A/C. I don't have the tools to do a purge so I guess the next thing I need to do is take it to a shop that can purge and refill it. Should I be concerned that there may be a bad seal somewhere? What is the best way to clean the condenser...

I never screw the coolant bottle into the cheap plastic ac filler device until I get a read on the pressure. My fan clutch is newer. I replaced it last fall. I use a winter front in winter and bug screen in the summer. The condenser may have some dust and road grit in it. I will give it a good...
