    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Anyone install newer OEM head unit?

    in my neon r/t I just replaced my PBB (cassette) with a RBQ (in dash 6 disc) and it also plays the ext cdc (OEM 4 or 6 disc seperate changer). Also bought a single in dash CD wich is a RBK. My friends 04 has both the cass & CD and I think it is the same mounting.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission factory trailer harness question

    I have a full size battery for the brakes (break away). I run a winch/lights all from the trailer battery. The battery gets charged from the truck. I can turn on lights even with no truck attached (short time of course). I connected the trailer back up lights on the trailer to a relay. the relay...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Fuel Pre-Filter Recommendation Needed

    Remember that the suction side of the pump should NEVER use a paper element filter. The pre-filters are actually a wire mesh screen. I get mine from NAPA, listed under the tractor section, you know JD & IHC. I never had any trouble with mine, even during winter. I do treat the fuel every fill up.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) PCM compatability for testing

    I believe the vin must match (flashed). I tried to swap a ecm, only to get the blinking cel. However swaped a ABS controller with no problems. The buss is 5 volts on two pins, did you check that? Start with the pins in the ODB port. the 5 volts comes from the body timer behind the dash. There...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Defroster, a/c

    Along with freon they add oil. the reason to run the compressor is to dry the air (defrost works better) however the seals need to be lubed often. Rembember john q public doesn't do anything but drive. I run my ac once a month on cars I store over winter. I guess you could pull the relay... . If...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) engine sound

    maybe the pcm holds back some fuel/boost/timing back until up to oper. temp? If your talking rattle, my motor is loud. I get some timming advance from the pump & some more from the programer. If you want to hear an awful sound turn on the 3 cylinder cold start. I run amsoil and at 1/4...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) fuel pressure?

    isolator seperates the fuel from the antifreeze. A must have! the snubber goes on the guage to stop needle bounce. optional. I had a sticky snubber so I removed it, NO problems. Besides hearing the 3 sec prime I see the needle do a quick jump. That jump is what stoped along with a very...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake & ABS Lights

    Unplug the switch in the porportion block. If the lights go out you, thenyou may have a bad Master Cylinder. I took my switch out and recentered the groove, then pressed on the pedal - groved moved off center again (internal leak). Then I Jack up the rear, spun the tires by hand, wife pressed...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Fuel filter housing leaking

    m2 cents You should use a screen type filter on a suction side of the lift pump. Such as a NAPA one listed in the farm tractor section (IH and Deere). the threads on the stock lift pump is 12mm x 1. 5. It is a straight thread and must be sealed with a washer or o ring. The VP44 may be the...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission turn signal

    The speed the flasher works is based on current draw (number of bulbs). So you have a burn out bulb or corroded socket, bad wire, etc. Just do a walk around with the turn signals or 4 ways on. You already know what side, now you must find out front or rear. Sylvania web site lists every...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Used or Rebuilt Engine?

    Have you looked at the lock-n-stitch fix? I think that is what is is called. That way you spend a lot less and keep the truck or at least sell it running. The last option to sell it as is. Even find a 12 valve in a school buss cheap like my friend did... . his 24v was running and he sold it...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) lazy wait to start

    I lost the wait light & 3 sec prime... . winter was comming 2 years ago..... a reflash fixed it at a dealer. Now I know you had a ecm swaped out so we can rull it out. The tech first looked at the air temp sensor with the DRB & the temp reading changed from morning to afternoon, not my problen...
