It’s likely your fuel pump is getting weak You can test fuel pressure with a pressure tester Should be 68 psi +\- A new strainer pump and filter maybe in order New plugs and wires See if you can get her running smooth again 2003 sohc engines and 5r55e can push well beyond 209k If yours is not...

Those are the two speed sensors for the control trac awd portion of your t case To use a new shift motor you will have to add the speed sensor pins into the shift motor connector With the needle pointed to ”N” the truck should not move. The t case should be in neutral and no engagement is...

I refuse to buy or install (if I can help) Reman starters and alternators they will leave you stranded I buy Bosch only when available

If the master cylinder was depressed too far while there was no pressure in the system you could have torn/blown the seals Air in the abs pump happens, but it usually results in just a soft pedal, you would still have brakes. You can use a hood scanner to activate the abs pump and push the air...

I have made these in the past The switch in the t case basically has two male prongs I have plenty of female pins that fit right over the prongs Then you can wrap it in silicon and let it setup Blamo pigtail Otherwise you can buy the connector online Standard motor products s743 is the...

Two options here Re use that gasket clean on top and underneath, use liberal amounts of permatex ultra Use snips, dremmel, rzr, Multi tool to cut that gasket and introduce the new gasket bits, again using permatex to seal the corners Whichever you choose clean is the key to making it seal

It maybe time for a new pump

Just curious People often surprised by the air ride shocks some trucks had rear some had all 4’s Many of the gold trucks seem to have had the air ride Deleting the awd saves you gas money and front tires gives you passing power

If there is enough wire left you can cut off the bad ends and crimp on some copper lugs to act as new battery terminals You can clean the copper strands to get rid of the rest of the corrosion Sounds like classic battery cable connection issues

Well done! Good score! The gold paint holds up better then any other color (except silver but I don’t ever see silver gen iis) Consider a awd delete if it suits you and how/ where you drive (I say this to every 5.0 awd owner, it’s my favorite mod) Rotate front tires often! Check exhaust...

Uh sweet! Why do I not have one of these!!! Well done!!!

Ummmm Shifting from low range with your fingers? I dunno about that. For me a pair of plyers is required to move that little stub and it takes some effort, it does not just flop from low to neutral and so forth. Yes it was pointed to low range the tip of the arrow indicates what gear you are in...

I have a box of center caps Which stock wheel? The 16” “teardrops?” (For lack of a better description) I like your cluster ideas! A Small display screen kind of like a “scan gauge pro” Could be included in the cluster area it can be used to display all sorts of real time info Digital water temp...

About an inch, don’t worry it will come off Make sure you got all 4 bolts that go up from the oil pan Now you have to get the timing cover off the dowls and then it will finally release Don’t be afraid to pry the top out about an inch maybe inch and. A half and then wiggle and shake and then...

Off the factory Downpipes, I had to extend one it was cut short Be kind all welding was done in the truck upside down hahaha and I ran out of gas. It’s all mounted with clamps so can be removed Flowmaster dual 2.5 in single 3” out muffler from summit Dual 2.25” pipes in single 2.5” out Came...

So there are actually 5 sport tracs we have been messing with this summer. Number 5 is really *****in. This is a 2005 trac that some poor girl got from a dealership and two weeks later the sohc let go…. Sound familiar? Making payments on something broken sucks! My stepson picked it up a year...

I would Re locate battery to other side and put air filter there behind headlight Can use 1” driveshaft spacer at rear axle to help Don’t be afraid to cut down your own front d shaft, it’s not that terrible with a flat table and some common sense Your truck is awesome! Wishing you good luck...

This thread is 193 pages Let’s see another 193! You can do it!

That stinks! Never had issue w the bleed I know a Master cylinder can blow out the seals if it is pressed too far when the fluid is low or there is no pressure behind it hopefully nobody mashed the pedal down?

Use aluminum foil to keep crap Out of oil pan but I still drain the oil and leave the plug out so any coolant thay drops in there will Flow out. Then I pour a half quart of cheapo oil through the area to Flush any debris out the pan I use gunk foamy engine brite and also castrol super clean at...

Yep 14 psi ain’t gonna cut the mustard

Holy smokes! Battle on When is next tune scheduled? Before I drop the tank I usually send battery power directly to the pump through the connector back at the frame rail to ensure the pump is dead and it’s not a wiring connector outside the tank

Well done!! The balancer will slide right off once the puller is setup Don’t forget the 4 bolts that go vertically into the timing cover through the oil pan

they can track my ass I don’t really care! I am always weary of “big brother” because the American way is limited government not more and inside our homes But that ship has sailed Even your fridge and televisions are spying on us… I’m over it. My number is published my email is published go...

27mm for the egr tube? That thermostat was barely able to work! Too much goo So lucky the waterpump/ water jacket/ timing cover bolts came out. Make sure you chase all these threads Keep up the good work!

Check air boxes for rodents under air filter Check tail pipes for any blockage, maybe somebody pulled a fast one or they were flooded? Who knows Anyone put something in the fuel tanks? Sand? Water? Sugar? Pranksters or otherwise You said stripped screw in plastic intake so I assume these are...

after checking out all the wiring going to the transfer case maybe drain a little transfer case fluid and have a look at it. Should be. Bright red, if it is dark or smells burnt, small pieces of white nylon then the t case may have bit the dust. However right now it looks as if the transfer case...

Gorgeous

Order for a 99 The oil cooler was used 96-97 but the computers think it was there until 98 Order lower hose for a 99-01 5.0 and should get the correct one

Drain that oil! All the cranking leaves a ton of fuel in there Hang in there let’s see her run!!

96-97 use 4405 w vss In tailhousing 98-02 use 4405 no vss (do not have the speed sensor) I often take these cases apart and install the 97 back half onto the later model case in order to keep these things on the road, thus retaining the speed sensor. The other option is to delete the control...

The flashing 4wd lights with a 97 model year v6 usually indicate an issue with the control trac awd system in the t case. If they used a t case that is not compatible (96-97 control trac only) any 98-02 version, does not have the needed vss sensor, or if it already has issues with control trac...

As these guys said the t case runs completely independently from the engine and trans Your flashing lights could be as simple as a plug not seated or the trans may need some internal parts. The trans shop should be interested in helping if the unit is under warranty! The sooner the better of...

Which is it has always had noise it made it 10k over a winter first. FYI sohc v6 does not have lifters/pushrods Help us help you Clear info, you are jumping all over the place! Googling Timmy ho’s

Even without a transfer case bolted in the engine will still have the noise and the trans will still not shift You can test the transfer case a little bit if you put the truck up on jackstands Both cat converters completely plugged at the same time? Not likely! Fix one thing at a time We must...

Yes and when the bracket is Mia because I tossed it out?? Then zip ties will get you through!! My v6 condenser is zip tied at the bottom to the radiator Note to self I need one of those brackets

A rebuilt engine should not make a lifter noise If it does then the rebuilder needs to fix it transmission rebuild that does not shift properly, is under warranty, and you feel like they are getting sick of seeing your truck. Sounds like the same guy who built the engine did the trans. This...

Torch is only way, or induction. Heater, must break the bond that rust has formed otherwise it will never come loose Once you have dealt with the v8 cooling stack for many years you get good at doing those three plastic clips.. the ac condenser can be left behind and the radiator removed but it...

Getting closer! What do you think is causing the grey oil? It ran!! I see this as good news!
