Xado89's Build - The Silver Submarine
- Status
I did do the fuel filter a while back and mine were turned the wrong way. I will admit that was a pain. Made sure everything was easy to get at for next time when I put it back on so I don't go inventing more words. XD
Depending on how I feel I may just price out a local shop to change them all for me. The guy is real fair priced and no BS included. Just depends how much free time I can get ahold of. Working 6 days a week sucks. Then having my "free" day to do work around the house. We shall see!

What kind of CB mount and antenna are you running? Nice rig by the way!!!!!!!! I have a 2000 that I need to start a build thread on.
Thanks man! I responded to the PM you sent. Sorry if it's a bit delayed. Haven't been on in a while. Been busy with work and stuff. XD.
Hmmm, anyone know what the life expectancy on the T-bars are? It seems my truck is starting to sag again up the front. It has a wicked rake again all of a sudden. Wondering if it's time to replace them or maybe just re-index them and adjust it? I hate looking at it with all that rake, I want it to be level again 
.
Otherwise truck has been running good. My CEL has been on but it's this stupid evap code I haven't been able to track down. I tried the easy fix and bought a new gas cap, light stayed off for a few weeks then came back. Truck doesn't seem to be driving any different though? Any other suggestions on what to check next, maybe?

Not what you asked, but what's the code?
Still throwing the P1447 Code.
Boo, so my buddy over at Discount Tire just called and told me the company they ordered my wheels from apparently lost my wheels...how that manages to happen idk. But now instead of having them next week I'll have to wait another 4 to 6 weeks for them he said while they make me another set. The bright side is they would be here right around xmas time. Merry Christmas to me!

Weird it looks like a signature to me on my end. It shows in small italic font and its spaced apart. Is it like mashed or something on your end?

I blame ForumRunner. It looks just like any other text.
Possible. I downloaded tapatalk since they made it a free app, finally.

I thought re-indexing was just to allow the adjustment bolt to clear the crossmember. See this:
I still have space available on the ucas but the bolts have run out of or are about to run out of room to thread. My theory was to readjust them and get some more threads and lift it that little bit more I have to maybe even everything up.

Hey, did you ever nail the steering issue ?
I ask because mine has stiff steering on idle, sometimes - it doesn't stall out tho - I'm looking for ideas.
Thanks

My steering seems to have gotten better after I flushed it amd added new fluid with some lucas steering stabilizer. It turns smoother and I don't have any whining anymore. Doesn't stall out either. I'd suggest trying that if you haven't yet. Then go from there.

Couple Updates:
Encountered an issue with my Dash lighting. They went out on me the other day, went through and checked all my fuses in the truck and under the hood. My "Tail" fuse was shot, I replaced it and it worked again for a couple days, now it's blown again. I read up that it is grounding out possibly. Is the only way to check for this to just sift through wires and make sure nothing is severed or disco'd? I'm an idiot when it comes to electrical systems.
So, I also Ordered a keyless entry remote for my truck the other day, hoping it will get here today so I can get it programmed. As far as programming it I haven't found a "full & legit" write up on what to do. I know you insert the key like 6x to get the hazards to flash, which I have tried and my truck does it. Anyone here know where I can find a link for a legit write up, or possible video on the steps for the remote?
I also got a towing hookup from Advance auto parts along with a 10" adjustable drop hitch, that I have to hook up. It still looks a little high even dropped all the way considering my hitch flip. Only thing I ever plan on towing is a single axle lawn trailer with a couple scags on it, though.

That fuse runs all the 'running' lights when the headlights are on. Plate, front markers, rear markers, dash, and the trailer connector.
So in other words, go through all my running light wires and check for anything out of the ordinary?
pretty much. I did a writeup on finding this issue somewhere. Basically, isolate a section of the harness and see if it fixes the problem. Mine was a destroyed plate bulb, and a melted connector.\
Edit: Found the writeup

Hmmm, now that you mention the plate bulbs...that might be it. Considering the wires are just kind of....wrapped around underneath my bumper. I've had to pick the one up off the ground from it falling out and dragging, lol. I really need to find a fix to that. I think I'll start there, though.
Thanks, Maudeeb.
Two things. First, thank you maudeeb. I'm pretty sure my plate bulb was what caused the issue. I fixed it and a couple days have gone by with a fresh fuse and everything working!
Secondly, I got my keyless entry clicker in and got it programmed in minutes! So happy to have one, finally! This is the first vehicle I've owned with one. I feel spoiled now.

So how did you get your keyless remote to work? Did it come with instructions or did you find a thread? Where did you get the remote from?
Sorry for all the questions! Glad you had a chance to take advantage of the wicked drainage systems in Florida! My family hot flooded in!!
Thanks man!

Hey man, don't ever have to appologize for questions. What we're all here for. First you need to cgeck and see if there's a white box behind the fuse panel on the inside of your truck. That will let you know you can have a keyless. I picked up my remote off ebay for about $15.00 with free shipping. Took literally a minute to setup. You can google the instructions. I think it was another forum I found them on or yahoo answers.
The mud was fun, too. I just need to start my snorkel build. Got water in the airbox again...heh.

So, I have a rattling noise now. It only happens around higher rpm's (2500-300). After I shift it goes away until I reach that rpm again. Also when cruising I don't hear it at all. It's really annoying, so far I haven't noticed a lack of power or acceleration on my truck. Nothing leaking, that's new (Lol). I've read a little and three topics have come to my attention. Two could be very easy fixes. 1. Heat Shields Rattling, 2. Spark Knock, 3. Manifold issues. My wallet would LOVE for it to be number 1 or 2 however the mod bug is biting me in the A$$ saying "Number 3, you want HEADERS!"
In Conclusion, I was wondering if I could get opinions on what you guys think or have maybe had the same problems and what the resolve was?
-Thanks!
