Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Members, a few questions to rack your brains.
First some stats on the truck; '93 D350 Club cab, Getrag 5-speed 130,000 miles, no engine mods... . YET!!!
1)The speedometer seems to be on some weird drugs. I don't think that it is very accurate, but the real problem is that when you lift your foot off the accelerater pedal it will drop down to 30mph or thereabouts. Then, when you reapply pressure to it it will go back up to its (I hope) correct reading. Maybe a speed sensor?
2)The cruise control also acts up. It seems like when I hit a bump it will lunge foward, then slow down , then lunge foward again. It will do this very rapidly until it settles down... then do it again. I think this might be working in conjuction with my speedometer.
3)The windsheild wipers are another problematic area. They work fine on low and high, but not on intermittent. They won't work at all on intermittent. I have checked the connections as Hayes Service Manual said so and a '94 Dodge Service Manual, I seem to remember that one of the connections wasn't reading what it was supposed to. Also, they will stop wherever they are when you turn the switch off, instead of returning to their home position at the bottom of the windsheild. How do you fix it, what parts do I need?
4)Lastly, I would like to purchase some gauges as funds permit. My question is, what kind of gauges do you members have and how do you like them. I want a Tach, Boost, and Pryo, that is at the moment anyway.
I love the truck more that any of these small things, but giving attention to them is my number one priority. Thank you very, very much for any responses.
