  1. Finally after almost 2 years of driving with cranked torsion bars in the front, and saggy old coils in the rear I got a pair of JGC front coils. And they're even from a V8! I know this is beating a dead horse but... other than cutting off the pigtails and making a panhard bar drop bracket is there anything else to do? Anything helps thanks!

  2. Shift solenoid pack is bad.

     

    I had chased this issue for 2 weeks.

     

    shift solenoid A controls gears 1 and 3 and shift solenoid B controls gears 2 and 4. On my automatic tranny shift solenoid B is bad and won't into 4th gear. So with the gear selector in Drive it would start in 3rd gear unless manually put into 1st.

     

    Instead of paying $300 for a shift solenoid pack. I eliminated my TCM and shift with toggle switches wired to the tranny. I know it sounds weird but it works extremely well.

     

    I still don't have 4th gear but I can't lock the TC in 3rd. At cruising speed of 60mph my tach sits at 3000RPM it's a little high but not bad.

  3. I might have an idea! if you take off the shifter there's a plunger for the shift lock if you tape down the plunger then you basically eliminate the shift lock. And then put on anything you want after modifying it to fit the square tube. Then you can mount the overdrive button to the square tube. Still taking ideas and thoughts.

  4. Still having troubles. Unplugged all trans plugs and water came out of the wire lume on almost all of them. Blew out all connectors and it would shift to second for a second and then back to "fail safe" don't have money for new truck or trans. This is getting irritating.

  5. Took me a while to figure it out. I out when I didn't think the door unlocked and all of them unlocked the second turn. I did it about a dozen times after that! The rear window was the same. I thought it didn't lock so I turned it harder and the window popped. Of course, I did this a dozen times as well haha

  6. My speedo doesn't start working until about 40mph. But the mileometer doesn't work when the speedo isn't so I hit the dash a couple times when it's not working and it works again. My tach has never worked it always twitches and bounces. So I installed am aftermarket tach.
