    Steering Box Clunk

    I'll have to give them a try. The price seems reasonable. I just put on new sway bar end links too and that didn't solve it. Its got 245,000 on it, so its bound to be worn out.

    Steering Box Clunk

    I just want to confirm this clunk is in the steering box. I have heard a rattling in the front end and I thought it was due to the worn out sway bar bushings until I got under the truck for an oil change and noticed the pittman arm nut was loose. (I am glad I installed the steering box...

    Truck wont exceed 30 mph after 3 hour freeway trip

    My apologies for not getting back to this thread sooner. The transmission output speed sensor went bad. It cost $300 to fix once they figured out what was wrong.

    Truck wont exceed 30 mph after 3 hour freeway trip

    30 is top speed and engine continues to rev to red line if you hold the throttle down

    Truck wont exceed 30 mph after 3 hour freeway trip

    I tried shifting into second and it did the same thing. I didn't think it was fuel, but I filled at a station I don't normally fill at and it had been a while since I changed the filter. It accelerates and shifts normal up to 30 mph and then just revving.

    Truck wont exceed 30 mph after 3 hour freeway trip

    I disconnected the batteries to try the battery trick. While the batteries were disconnected, I used an Exide Accuracy Plus battery tester on the batteries and they both indicated bad. Could low voltage cause this condition? Edit: I also tried the 3 key turn trick and all the display said was...

    Truck wont exceed 30 mph after 3 hour freeway trip

    I tried dumping some fuel out of the filter housing with the valve and changing a fuel filter. No change in behavior.

    Truck wont exceed 30 mph after 3 hour freeway trip

    I drove the truck on a 3 hour trip with no problems running between 50 and 80 mph and once I got into my neighborhood, I stopped at a stop sign and accelerated away from the stop sign at a normal pace, the transmission acted as though it was slipping into neutral at 30 mph and back into gear...

    I think its making oil

    161,000 miles on the truck. I don't think its really bad yet as it still starts pretty good.

    I think its making oil

    I have been carefully watching the dipstick and the oil appears to be getting deeper. After about 6000 miles on the oil I added about a quart of oil, the level has been holding steady for the last 4000 miles or so. It appears to be smoking more than usual. I think they are on their way out. If I...

    Compressor Surge

    I was considering pulling the turbo off this weekend and making sure the wastegate was operating properly. I was also just gonna do a quick verification of the seals and overall shaft play. What is different about the boost elbow? Could I replace it with a standard farm store adapter with a...

    Compressor Surge

    I am getting some turbo bark and I am trying to figure out how to resolve the issue. I have the 48RE transmission and most times under partial throttle climbing an on ramp, the turbo barks once the TC locks up. It doesn't do it, if I put the hammer down unless I jump out of the pedal quick...

    Which cooler is it? Hoses leaking

    I tracked the hoses from the cooler on the back of the engine to the upper cooler between the radiator and the intercooler. I can see the lines through the fender liner openings above the frame rail. I also tracked the power steering lines to the lower cooler as well. These will be the trans...

    Which cooler is it? Hoses leaking

    Those leaking lines attach to the big cooler between the radiator and the intercooler. I am pretty sure its trans cooler lines.

    Which cooler is it? Hoses leaking

    Roger, Where can I find these hoses aside from at the dealership? I don't think they sell them at your average parts store.

    ATF questions

    I would recommend removing all the rear bolts and half of the side bolts and use the front and side bolts as hinges, gradually loosening them until you can pull the pan down. I didn't make a mess when I did it.

    Which cooler is it? Hoses leaking

    Appears red, does not seem to have an odor. It is right below the overflow bottle. Why would it have two transmission coolers? Or is the engine coolant one for engine oil?

    Which cooler is it? Hoses leaking

    Which cooler is directly in front of the radiator but behind the intercooler? Is it a transmission cooler or engine oil cooler? From what I have read and seen there is also a transmission cooler on the back of the engine that circulates engine coolant. I have some leaking hoses above the...
