    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Overhead display

    My truck currently does not have an overhead display. Is the truck prewired for the overhead display or do I need the harness and sensors, etc?

    Blue chip diesel has a cover that keeps the connection weather tight.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Buying a VP44.

    My VP44 is on the way out, I have a dead pedal every time I drive the truck. I used to return the throttle to idle then get back on it, and that worked for for a while. Now the truck is acting up at all throttle positions and at any speed. I have checked the APPS for a dead spot but it checks...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Trans shift kit????

    I'm looking to install a shift kit into my transmission to firm up shifts. Has anyone used a kit with good results. I was going to use the SKTFOD-Diesel kit from trans-go. Any recommendations would be helpful.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission What would cause a brake caliper to lockup or hold the brakes on?

    Glad you found the problem with the caliper. One common problem on those trucks is the caliper slides ( which you have been told alot in this post) BUT dont overlook a frozen pad in the caliper bracket. Make sure the pads move freely, if not remove them and the S. S. shims and clean under them...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Stalling on highway

    After replacing the relay, The truck started dying on the highway again. Next we replaced the solenoid, After a couple months it started again. It was so bad now that the truck would stall coming off hard accelleration. The Lift pump on the side of the block was the cause. It was not able to...

    Help, Need good trailer tires

    I used Carlise USA Trail bias ply tires on my bobcat trailer. They were more expensive than the radials, but much heavier duty. Only $75 a piece.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) No power on highway over 75mph.

    I replaced the lift pump, without checking pressures first. I didn't have a guage with me. The truck has a lot more power over the entire power band! Starts better too. I know its pretty uncommon for the lift pump to fail, but so far it looks good.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) No power on highway over 75mph.

    The tank level has no effect. I think we'll be pulling the tank to inspect it for any sludge from bad fuel, and check lines for any blockages.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) No power on highway over 75mph.

    On the 12V where is the best place to connect the gauge? Thanks again for the help.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) No power on highway over 75mph.

    As far as a check valve in the pump, are you talking about the pre pump in the tank or the main injection pump. Does this truck have a pre pump or pusher pump like the 24v's?

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) No power on highway over 75mph.

    The truck has 140k on it. the problem is a little eratic, sometime ti will happen 6 times in 2 miles or not at all in 50 miles. But it always happens when the truck is on the highway at speeds over 75mph. Yes my gauge does reset. I have seen it go negative a few times.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) No power on highway over 75mph.

    I don't know the gear ratio but it rev's 2000-2200. The power will drop out with no warning. It does not happen all the time. It feels like a dead pedal on a 24V engine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) No power on highway over 75mph.

    I have a 97 12V that runs fine in the city, but running over 75mph the truck looses power and returns to an idle. I have to feather the pedal to race the engine and it returns to normal. White smoke is always coming from the tailpipe when this happens. Now to all the parts I have replaced: Fuel...
