Yetti's 2004 Chevy 2500

[Pacific Northwest yetti]

New ECM ordered,


Pulled the wire harness for the KC front lights out, it needs rebuilt. They are wired to come on when I use my bright, then the middle 2, and side two are switched in pairs. Intermittent now, and goes on and off when I wiggle the harness. So will just replace the entire thing. With them Being LED, they don’t need the big 30 amp relays anymore anyway.

And The air system, has saddle tanks on either side. One of the lines dry rotted, So I spliced it and cut out the bad section. So I could use the bags to get back to Oregon. Then a new section blew. So no bags for use on the way back. It was fine, just looked a little goofy and not as firm.

The folding camper sides need re done.

So add that to the list. She needed a jump, but after sitting for almost a year. Its doing well. Did not hesitate to start again after that.

I see you re geared to 4.88 but I didn’t see what the factory ratio was. Did you have 3.73 or 4.10?

Buddha,

Its been so long, I think it was 3.73 factory.

But am not +. I can check the OE sticker when I get home. It would be kind of fun to post the original window sticker anyway. And then cry at how much the prices have changed. haha

 

[Pacific Northwest yetti]

Well I am not sure how to feel about the window sticker... Times sure have changed.

I paid almost that much for a truck with 100k on it.

ECM got here yesterday, hopefully Installed tonight after work or in the morning. And the key re learn process.

 

[Pacific Northwest yetti]

Key re learn went well. First drive out, same thing.

I suppose engine wire harness is next.

Sent from my almost BlackBerry pocket tool. From somewhere remote. Happy Tails & Safe Travels

well that is not fun. Sorry your having the issues

mekcanix,

Thanks! 288k miles, none have been easy...for the most part its been a great truck.

You can tell, i had not fixed the compressor airlines yet. So the bags are empty. A friend needed some help moving equipment Sunday. So I hooked it up, did not do the things at all sunday. Just ran like it should. And i was working it hard.

Sometimes I think I should just trade it in, then I look at the Sticker prices on new trucks...

Ill post the window sticker for my assigned work truck.

* The p1631 is new* Google tells me it has something to do with the key re learn, and not starting. Except it started multiple times after the key relearn and I cleared the code to drive it home. The next day off and on all day, towing.

I know the feelin, was replacing lower ball joints in my ram and found a upper loose. No biggie right? Well I replaced my upper control arms with Rough country about 2 years ago and its a special order from rough country ball joint, not readily available in Canada. Its a much smaller issue then your dealing with but man its frustrating when you think you got it figured and boom now your in trouble. Fortunately for me its has a very minor amount of play so I have some time to figure out whats my next plan of attack

She is not my daily driver anymore, the ZR2 takes care of that. And I have an assigned work truck so neither of my personals are getting used much. Weekend errands pretty much. Its amazing how little you drive when you use a fleet truck to commute with. No complaint on that.



The window sticker for my WT, the D-max is about a 10k options, but still double my 2004.

i bet it would be 20K more if the prices were CDN... Hmm.. now I'm curious... lol

Chevy has discontinued the engine wire harness, I will have to pull a scrap one. Which is probably not much better than where I was. Or Possibly build one by hand..
But will keep looking.

Ill start by checking each line/and pin I supose





Plugged the good ole Innova 5610 in yesterday. p1631, is no longer showing. In fact, it’s not showing any of any kind.

Hauling stuff around the place with it last weekend, and the radio decided it was not going to shut off. Its not the RDS door sensor, as the dome and perimeter lights come on and off as expected. Just a short in the back of the head unit. I put an aftermarket head unit in, ln like 2009 or so. And probably did a bad job, the connections just need some love.

Made a dump run on Sunday, other the needing a jump: She ran like a top.
