Behind the throttle? Could it be for water injection, or some sort of injection at WOT? Does your air horn have a bunch of 1/8 NPT pipe plugs in it? Michael :- )

Hi Mike, He bought it without Batteries. Shouldn't he try the TPS calibration? If it is bad, isn't there a TIMBO TPS in the store? Thanks Michael :- )

O.K. Thanks!!

What do you use for a flushing fluid for the power steering? Thanks Michael

And Fix that connection as soon as possible. Something is probably loose there.

Darn I'm so old I remember when the Air was Clean and Sex was dirty! After my first winter on the motorcycle, I sold my motorcycle for $500 and bought a 69 Volkswagen. The left front tire pointed left and it had the impression of the telephone pole where the front fender met the hood. A friends dad had a 1966 front end suspension and away we go. Had to shim the frame horn with half a Main bearing, couldn't afford to get the frame straightened. After that I saw the light and started down the Chrysler road. Been on it ever since. Couple of side trips but mainly Mopar. Just brought my 73 Challenger home to start resurrecting it this summer. Michael

Got a link to the Amazon ones Please? I wouldn't know what to call them. Thanks Michael

I was fortunate enough to be trained by 2 military men in Electronics and Avionics. We were taught that before we got into the plane we put watches into our pockets. Nothing like a 24 volt Buss Bar to get your undivided attention!! Airplanes don't use fuses but rather Circuit breakers and conduct a lot more current before they trip!!! Michael

Air, Fuel, Compression, and Transmission. That's where you start. Get the ODB Link LX that Mike was saying I have one. Great tool. I bluetooth it to a small pad. That way I can read it while driving. Old Eyes. Looking at your Photo what dash lights are lit? Not OD Off? Michael

Stupid Question but does the truck make good power? Put you back in the seat if you open it up rolling? If not there is an issue. I was amazed at the H.P. These beasts have when I first got one. Just saying. Michael

Hi All, I bought take offs LT26575R16 to test before purchasing Traction tires. I run in CA on the Freeways mostly at 70 MHP and the Tach is spot on at 1900 RPM. So it's not Tire size or RPM our tach's could be that far off. Michael

Thanks for that! A another source of Power. And this just happened after I pulled the 7 way and towed a trailer. HUMM Thanks again Michael

O.K. Well let's put a Fork in it. I should have titled it L.E.D. Back up lights on all the time. I replaced the Back up light switch with a new one from O-Riely's. The L.E.D.'s remained lit. If I removed a L.E.D. Bulb and replaced it with an 3157 the lights all went out and work when the truck is in reverse. So the problem is only present if I run L.E.D. Bulbs in the back up lights. If I Run One L.E.D. and one 3157 it works O.K. Fine. Sorry for any confusion. Michael When I get the truck back from the shop I will verify that the lights only light in Reverse.

Well I guess when the truck gets back from the headliner replace I'll drop the new switch out and meter it. But when I installed a 3157 the L.E.D. Bulb went out. Just saying. So right now there are no Back up lights on. It has a 3157 and an L.E.D. Bulb installed. Remove the 3157 and the LED will light. So if the switch was bad the 3157 should be lit correct? Boy turns out this is a good question. IBMobile want to weigh in? Transformers still use insulated wires, other wise the length of wire in the winding would be length 0. The insulated wire is what allows the wire to be wound and to have length and create the electromagnetic field. The oil is to dissipate the heat.

Thanks that answers my next question. How often do you change it! Thanks! Michael

Hi All, I've got 3,000 miles on the truck I bought used last August. I was replacing the reverse light switch and spilled quite a bit of fluid and it was dark. So I was thinking time to get the fluid changed and the bands adjusted. So my question is Change or Flush?? TIA Michael

O.K. So it is a parasitic Voltage coming from the reverse light switch. I got everything retested today and Still had 11 volts with the truck in park, at the reverse lights. So I left the L.E.D. in one side lightly glowing and then I put and 3157 in the other side and the L.E.D. went out. So the bulb had enough resistance to take the voltage to nothing. The Transmission fluid in the reverse light switch has enough conductivity to conduct voltage but at a milliamp level (Volume) , enough to light a L.E.D. but not a light bulb. So if I wanted to run L.E.D.'s I would have to run with a resistor in Parallel with the bulb? A Question for IBMobile perhaps. P= IxE and E/ (Ix R) and all that. TIA Michael

Great Idea. Thanks! Looking at the color of the Trans Fluid, I'm going to have the Trans Fluid and filters changed and the Bands adjusted. Michael

Well it's funny you should say that I showed the kid at ORiely's that the "New" switch looked like it was used or had been installed. So I have the old one out to test. Next time I'll have the truck pointed downhill lost about 2 quarts of oil. Thanks again Michael

I replaced the switch on the transmission. I'll meter it out tomorrow. Bought one at ORiley's. I was lucky and a Snap on 1" Socket just fit it. Back in the day we used to pull the CMOS input high (+5Volt) with a 10K ohm resistor so they didn't react to noise and stray signals. The oil might be enough of a conductor to cause them to light, conducting milliamps at 11 volts. I've got a resistor laying around somewhere and Test it tomorrow. I'll let you know tomorrow. Michael

Well while mowing the lawn I had a thought. The P.O. installed L.E.D. bulbs everywhere. So that said I noticed that there was oil in the Neutral safety switch plug. So the oil maybe leaking enough Milliamps that allow the L.E.D.'s to light up? So it's like CMOS and I need a Pull up, or pull down resistor. So put a 1/ 4 watt 10K across the bulbs to pull the floating voltage down? Or just install a pair of 3157 and call it even. Your thoughts? TIA Michael

Hi All, Well is shouldn't be this hard, but it wants to be. Got up and headed for the airport at 3:30 A.M. Noticed the Truck reverse lights were on. Went back and got the keys and cycled the shifter. No difference. Got back this morning and replaced the Neutral safety switch and Reverse light switch. So reading the linkage adjustment page, I can see nothing wrong. The truck starts in Neutral and Park only. So why are the Back-up lights still on 24 / 7, with a new switch???? I metered the voltage it's a solid 12 volts. Any suggestions? Only thing that I can think of is the wires have rubbed through? Gremlins TIA Michael

Yup 3 wire. I'll call Oriley's Auto Parts!

Another stupid question I just looked and my 2001 has a 3 wire switch, most of the parts houses show a 2 wire. Is there a manual that shows the difference between the Neutral Safety switch and the Back up light? So I see a difference of a Vin 6 or a Vin 7? My Vin is G7 is that what they are talking about? Michael

Thanks have you done a REverse light bulb in L.E.D. ? I have one that is lit bright with 2 L.E.D.s and another with 20 L.E.D.'s that i can see are barely on. Thanks Michael
