  1. Pepsi71Ocean found that a bad set of slip ring brushes can create high AC noise issues as well so it might of been that as a cause too.
  2. Don't feel bad I've got the same issue. I'm getting tired of the ABS and BRAKE light always on. I look a dark dash it means everything is working properly.
  3. No doubt about that... Radiator, coolers, etc. Then pull the gear case open, make rods for the tappets and lift then and then pull the cam. Not fun at all... I've never done it yet but I know sooner or later I will...
  4. Last night I laid in bed talking to good ol' Dripley (David Ripley) and had my tablet with me. I continued to tinker with the site on the tablet verifying function and user friendliness so far so good. I'm working on improving everything but there is only so much I can get done in a day. Like today I've got two 12V Dodge's sitting in the yard one got a fresh set of +50HP injectors to replace the +150HP injectors that were overly lopey, smokey, and stall happy. Transmission kickdown cable wasn't even installed. Then come to find out the previous shop forgot to put 2 bolts back in the manifold plate. There is a laundry list on this one that need to be dealt with. The other 12V needed to have the tubing to the boost gauge re-ran after the mice ate it. So I'm busy turning wrench through the day. The owner is get ready to leave for Mexico with the truck so he wants my personal touch like last year so he's not having issues in Mexico. Then get interrupted by a broke down RV that blew the A/C compressor pulley and I just spent nearly a hour running back and forth getting information, pictures, numbers etc trying to identify this compressor. No you couldn't just look up in a book it was a custom A/C system by Bounder on a Ford Chassis. Very rare compressor and found one in Washington be here by morning! So back to turning wrench and running the highway.
  5. I would never cut a frame structure like that. I bet money that truck has frame issues later in life.
  6. No. These are strictly the old length yet. Give us some time for the next batch and we'll see if we can make it longer for overhead console use. Nice part is it just the cable need to manufactured longer. Being modular you can change that fairly easy.
  7. The only reason the blowby test came out is most don't want to spend money on the special tool to do the compression test. So the blow by test was simple for the general public to do and did require the costly tool. Like I said the only way to test each cylinder is compression test though.
  8. I've had to re-adjust my steering box a few times. Eventually I'll have to pull my box and do both the sector and bearing pre-load adjustment of the box. All listed in the FSM. Also if the is wear occurring and the fluid is dark colored its time to flush the system out.
  9. Dry test compression is fine and will show low compression cylinders vs. blowby which is a summation of all cylinder blowby. Like JL Welding found out you can crack one piston and still pass a blowby test but fail a compression test because compression test will show lower on a damaged cylinder. It will show othere thing a blowby won't like blown head gasket between cylinders will show up as a low number on two cylinders. Also using the compression test hose and compressed air you can pressurize the cylinder and feel the air escape through the adjacent cylinder. So blowby test is a quickie test but no conclusive of what is going on.
  10. Not that I know of. The warranty is only for the original purchaser.
  11. Mobile uses the desktop view. There is no longer a need to switch back and forth. They are both one in the same now. It's called a responsive theme. It response automatically to what ever device your using at the time and conforms to the device limitations. So if you use a phone it will understand the viewport size and size automatically. Then switch to desktop then it resizes again automatically.
  12. Random on/off light is a broken wire. I had that with my old sensors turn one way and trip the light turn back the other way and reset the light.
  13. Oh... Go question. I don't have a good sensor to actual bench test but I know it's in the kilo-ohms bracket.
  14. No. At 55 MPH it down to 1689 RPM's. Which is better for MPG but then when I need torque I can down shift and it puts me roughly at 2k of the tach. Excellent torque for steep grades. Where I'm at in Idaho the average speed limit is 45 MPH to 65 MPH. All local towns are 25 MPH. Then all residential is 15 MPH.
  15. Pull the alternator have it bench tested. Make sure to test for AC noise also. To correct CSM a bit there is no relay for the stock fuel pump circuit it just a direct feed from the ECM. Now you aftermarket pump will have a control relay. So you want to check the stck connector from the ECM and see if the ECM is coming on. If not the wild alternator noise could be what killed the ECM.
  16. Nothing more than a simple ohm meter and ohm it out right at the plugs. Either at the ABS module plug or at the ABS sensor plugs. Then you know if its a wiring issue or sensor issue.
  17. 55-60 MPH Edge Comp set on 5x3 with +50 Injectors This will net roughly 22-23 MPG fairly easy.
  18. Batteries weak? What the voltage? TIPM having issues?
  19. Windows Users: Clear Cache and Cookies and the hit CTRL + F5 to restart the page. This will correct the page. This is Windows 7 and firefox and works fine.
  20. I think part of my cause of short valve seal life is the amount of exhaust brake usage I have. Placing a lot of pressure on the exhaust valves stems. I'm going to gamble mine are going to be the exhaust side more so.
  21. It might do that but it might have the speedometer way off or it might be close. You can flash the ABS module with a frequency offset for correction of tire sizes. So lots of oversize tire uses typically do this to get the speedometer corrected. Not knowing what was done to the module or what size tires where on the vehicle its a guessing game.
  22. Here is my other project... Posted from Azpen tablet Android Edit from desktop: Seems that mobile device work really well so far at least Android side. I prompted for the picture and it started my camera app for me. Works good under the Linux realm... Now for the Apple folks to speak up.
  23. Dump your cache and cookies and start over. It will show right till I tweak something else. Sorry Dave the M's are going be low priority right now attempting to nail down bigger bugs.
  24. Speed sensor calibration for the speedometer. Which can be reflashed.
  25. That cool to hear of old history on vehicles and where we came from in technology. Cable brakes? Wow! Now look at today with computerized ABS brakes.
