    Click no crank, truck won't start

    @rockola1971 bit confused wouldn't all the ground posts go to chassis, case, or any other ground? I measured Terminal S to case of starter in various different spots, on the solenoid case as well as on the mounting / front of crank motor case. It was still 0.4 ohms. I called Bosch technical...

    Click no crank, truck won't start

    I got measurements with starter out of truck but does seem really low. I pulled the starter and secondary wire to cranking motor. Secondary wire for all intensive purposes seems fine. I think in hindsight, click no start symptom points to issue with solenoid or power side starter relay circuit...

    Cooling Issue

    I'm with @rockola1971 need to: Main thing, verify your temperature and tell us what you get. You can do this with a scan tool to see what computer reports and compare to dash. I'm skeptical of a bad sensor, but you might pull it and see if it's corroded, check it's resistance, etc. If you go...

    Click no crank, truck won't start

    Sorry isn't all in one post. I made last post then some reason your comments showed up. Thanks!!!! I was trying to measure coil resistance yesterday but couldn't seem to get anywhere. Do you know coil resistance in the solenoid? I get on the solenoid: Switch to ground post 0.4 Ohms (purple...

    Click no crank, truck won't start

    Okay, so I did a bunch more fiddling. I pulled the positive battery cable. Inspected all the joints and connections. They all looked good, no fraying, nothing. I pulled all the corrugated plastic and heat shielding off (will have to rebuild) and none of the insulator was compromised. I did a...

    Click no crank, truck won't start

    Yeah, I am with you both. I need to start wrenching. It's just a dreaded job haha Not a fun upgrade like my other stuff. Also I nearly deserve a Darwin award. Ran my hand through fan belt (motor running) on Sunday. Thank god nothing broke and I hadn't put on the fan yet but it's still swollen...

    Click no crank, truck won't start

    Thanks @Doubeleive and @MassHoe04. So as in a mechanical load? The bench tester at parts store didn't apply a mechanical load. A short certainly crossed my mind. I do static continuity / voltage tests. They were all good. I also took starter off and tested again. Unfortunately, I should have...

    Click no crank, truck won't start

    Dang it. Was doing so well. New transmission, new engine, new steering system, ready to do transfer case.... Cranking system gave out. Occasionally it will start but has gotten to point where almost every time Bendix goes out and won't crank. Worse now it blows 40 A ignition fuse. I have a...

    Rebuilding a steering box

    Okay, it's built! All installed and works AWESOME. I ended up rebuilding two gearboxes and filming one. I put the clips (quite disorganized) onto youtube. It's a VERY VERY VERY VERY detailed rebuild. All the things the other tutorials missed that I had questions about are in the tutorial I made...

    Rebuilding a steering box

    I got the steering gearbox re-assmbled. I put a bit of Dexron VI in it and tested it out with a wrench. Has nice action. Not really anything adjustable other than the setscrew. After tearing it down I realize, play could possibly be due to blow by as well gear lash. There's five Teflon seals for...

    @89Suburban dang! I see you have 340k on your machine in your signature. That's awesome! What repairs have you had to do?

    Rear AC works / front does not

    Yeah, I HATE the refrigerant with stop leak in them. Rumor is it can gunk up everything especially the orifice tube... but the thought had cross my mind to it anyways haha. It's not leaked out yet since my last refill. Hopefully it holds, I just went around double checking all bolts I could...

    Cabin shelf over windshield

    I would LOVE to have an overhead storage shelf. Kind of like a semi truck cab has. I'd run power up to it and plug in cell phones, chargers, as well as have a place to put my CB radio. I see 4 Wheel Parts references one that says it fits but their pictures are from a completely different...

    Gen 10 2005 z71 Snorkel install

    Those aftermarket snorkels look AWESOME. Adding one has crossed my mind before. However, I have some concerns. 1. Rain, is there a sump or something in the snorkel to keep rain out? I live in Southern Arizona where when it rains it rains like a waterfall. Even so maybe not quite enough to cause...

    Sad front differential??

    Yeah hard to say. Seems you've done your homework. I'd ventures problem is inside the housing with all you've done. If you pull the driver side CV axel then you can also check the half shaft / output bearing. That half axel pops right out... whatever you do though... DO NOT pop out the passenger...

    Rebuilding a steering box

    Bloody rebuild kit didn't have all the parts. I bought the Gates 348526, damn thing said four bolt box, then had instructions for rack an pinion when I opened it. I think I maybe was supposed to buy this kit HERE Otherwise VERY easy project... Anybody know where I can get bearings? Input...

    Just finished 4L60E build :) Transfer case and steering gear box are last things not rebuild on my truck. I wouldn't mind to upgrade it a bit on way too... I'm thinking of that 6 pinion planetary. Truck is used quite a bit off road on moderate trails, no rock crawling stuff though. I'll just do...

    I need to spec out rebuild parts and or just buy a kit. Any suggestions? - Case saver - Case vent elbow - Not sure if clutches wear out? They are cheap though - The clutch fork plastic lip deal (I want one that goes over whole end of fork) - Shaft seals - Shaft bearings? There is ZERO...

    Sad front differential??

    I believe when I rebuilt my front diff (minus carrier) the axel bearings were needle bearings. Would make for a HELL of a mess if some of those needles are missing. It would run but really rattle bad and make all kinds of fuss. Might be worth checking... it's a bit more work but you can pull the...

    Sad front differential??

    Make sure you do as recommended... This will isolate problem so you know it's either front diff or transfer case. It only take a few minutes to remove the driveshaft. You can just undo the diff yoke and set it down. Then support the front end on axel stands and spin the diff by hand you can tell...

    Rear AC works / front does not

    I more or less figured it out given tips from @UmmScott . If you search automotive AC tech stuff on internet you get the BS pressure stuff. I studied residential and other AC systems for a few hours. The pressures are indirectly measuring the actual process. it's easier to measure the...

    Rear AC works / front does not

    @UmmScott I got everything working again after this last post. I think it was just low on refrigerant. But now two years later I've done a couple more repairs and the system started having issues again... Rear works front doesn't. Front fails "Superheating" check: I didn't even measure just...

    246 tcase questions

    I kind of wondered. They must need the special fluid so the clutches slip a bit and allow for less friction / heat. I read those articles and it is a PWM function that applies and releases clutches quickly. I think in automatic transmission there is very little slip in clutches like that. They...
