The report isn't saying there are fault codes. It is saying that the system has not performed enough "good trips" to be able to report the status back to the inquiring computer (the state inspection computer). During a Texas state inpection, the inpection computer is connected to the OBDII...

For the truck to set the ready status, it has to go through what are called "good trips". They are defined by the PCM being able to complete its system checks on various components. Different conditions have to be met for the system to be able to complete each of the verifications. You might...

You can get a basic heavy duty rebuild for less than $2500. Then, you can add additional items ala carte. You need to talk to him to work out the details. You can just pull the tranny and send it to him, or you can buy the parts and do it yourself. There's quite a bit to it though. You...

NO! NO! YOU CAN NOT RUN THAT TYPE OF OIL!!! Nah, just kidding. Run whatever the hell you want. I bet any of the high quality oils such as Rotella, Mobil 1, Royal Purple, Amsoil; pure synthetics, blends, or dino oils will be just fine in our trucks. As long as you change it out often enough...

You can replace the valve body, 2nd gear accumulator, 2nd gear servo return spring, and do the GM solenoid valve conversion without removing the tranny. Changing the 5:1 lever to the 4.2:1 lever will require tranny disassembly. And if you go that route, have them upgrade the direct clutch...

Now just add 9 more and I bet it would work great. Just think, you could have a waste gate for each cylinder. If that #3 piston is giving you problems, just run a half psi less boost on that one.

OK, so there are a couple of things that need to be addressed in the trannys: 1. The timing of the 2 to 3 shift from the factory is such that the 3rd gear clutch tries to engage before the 2nd gear band has completly let go. Depending on how sloppy the tranny is built, the stacked tolerances...

While I agree that our trucks need a good cold air intake, tying to effectively make a ram air is a waste of time. If you were to put a scoop on the very front of the truck, let's say something like an 18" diameter tube that stuck out in front of the radiator, you still wouldn't get much...

The Hemi's have a different tranny. Ours are very slightly modified diesel trannys. They are almost purely mechanical. The computer can modify governor pressure which can make it shift. The computer can engage and disengage overdrive (4th gear), and the computer can lock/unlock the TC. That's...

This what I use on mine and it keeps them nice and quiet. I use this on every vehicle that I have, and none of them have much brake noise afterward. It is basically a rubbery high-temperature glue that you apply to the back of the pads. It works great. Here is the link with the product...

Will POR 15 take the heat? Some coating will turn back to rust if you get them too hot. Iron phosphate chemical conversion coatings tend to do this. You might want to call them and ask. I would probably have the manifolds powder coated with Jet-Hot or equivalent. Oh, and to keep within theme...

The diesel tranny is identical internally except for a spring on the second gear accumulator, the 4.3 front-band (second gear) lever vesus the SRT-10 5.0 front-band lever, the front clutch disk count (Diesel 6, SRT-10 has 5), and the detent/TV valve linkage (SRT-10 has a cable, the Diesel has an...

I replaced my entire engine wiring harness myself (rats chewed up the wiring under the intake manifold). The whole harness cost about $350 from the dealership. It took me a couple of days to install it. It looks like yours burned up where I have circled in red in the picture below. You could...

I don't think the trailer had anything to do with it. I've pulled a 3200 lb trailer over 1200 miles -- in city traffic, on the highway at 90 mph, in the heat, etc, stop and go traffic, up hills, etc. While the bumping up against the back of your truck is annoying, it won't hurt the tranny...

That's a possibility, but I wouldn't think it would actually crack the TC neck like that. When you go to cinch up the TC bolts, the flex plate would just bend (flex) toward the converter. Usually the gear in the tranny (the oil pump) get trashed by the converter pushing it into the back of the...

Hey, don't trash on the QC's. You can get a lot more kids in the back of a QC. Oh, wait a minute...is this being recorded?? Shut that camera off!!! Who the hell are you guys??!! Ha ha, just kidding. I hope those sicko bastards fry.

What is weird is that the part that is broken on the TC is the part that engages the transmission oil pump -- it does not have any of the driving torque load on it. It only serves to turn the pump and pressurize the tranny.

Without a front sway bar, the truck will want to swap ends (over steer) at high cornering loads, especially at speed. So, that sweeping overpass that you used to take at 80+ will now be a bit scary as the rear end will start to walk-out on you. It will likely be fairly pronounced if you are on...

Automatic Door Locks If this feature is enabled, your door locks will lock automatically when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 15 mph. This feature is enabled when your vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant and can be disabled by using the following procedure: 1. Enter your vehicle and close...

Going from 4.56 to 4.10's would drop your rpm from 2500 to 2248 at the exact same speed. Going from 4.56's to 3.73's would drop your rpm from 2500 to 2045. So with 3.73's you would be at 2450 rpm at 90 mph instead of 3000 rpm. I don't think it would make any differnce at all in top speed as...
