Re: How many have painted thier cladding Re: How many have painted thier cladding My cladding was painted a few years ago due to a collision also. And I really like it. Cleaning the truck is so much easier, you just wax it like the rest of the truck. My truck is black/black and it makes it POP!

Re: Throttle valve is sticking....again No no, i understand that. Are these things a worth wild thing to do in order to make the trans a little more robust? The tv valve and plunger are on the shopping list. Are there any other things that are worth doing while the trans gets fixed? I want to...

Re: Vibration between 55mph-62mph I looked back but did not see where it was mentioned. Was the pinion angle measured after the drop? Please excuse my rant. It was not my intention to stray from the subject.

Re: Vibration between 55mph-62mph Balance and Road force-2 different things. You can balance a tire with excessive road force and the wheel and tire will zero out on the balancer.But the tire/wheel assembly can still vibrate due to road force.

Re: Vibration between 55mph-62mph I use a road force balancer nearly everyday. It is true that a regular balancer will do just as good of a balance as the road force machine. But a regular balancer won't be able to determine if the wheel is the problem or the tire. After using one of these...

Re: Vibration between 55mph-62mph I only know of a couple of places locally here in OK. But if i am correct it is required by GM at a dealership. Both dealerships that i have worked at have them. They are a little pricey so some of the smaller shops may not have one. Good luck.:cheers:

Re: Vibration between 55mph-62mph Road force balancing is the way to go. If the machine detects a high road force reading, it will not allow you to continue until a rim runout is measured. The machine may also have you turn the tire on the wheel to bring it into spec. Road force balancing will...

Re: Throttle valve is sticking....again Is there anything esle besides replacing the valve and plunger? I have heared of adding additional clutches in the 3-4 and a wider band. Any input? Has anyone done either of these or is this a waist of time and money?

Re: Throttle valve is sticking....again Hey there. It has been a while hasn't it? Well i have tried tugging on the cable with the truck off. I have also got up to about 40 mph and shut the key off and stabbed the gas pedal repaetedly. Both of those had worked in the past. But not anymore.

I guess i am going to be forced to do a rebuild on my trans very soon. The throttle valve has been sticking here lately. This has only happened after getting into full boost in the past. And it has corrected itseft pretty quickly. But it has been about a month now, and it is getting pretty...

Re: This converter looks weird!!!!!! thanks dave i was having trouble posting that. it'scrazy looking right? i have heard that it has an anti-balooning plate on it and also heard that it looks like some freaky homebrew pos that was created in somebody's shed. i don't believe either.....just...

Re: This converter looks weird!!!!!! saturday, i checked in my parts dept. and they found the tcc soleniod part number to no longer be a good number. i'll have to pull the pan next,i guess. hopefully the fix is something minor and not a long drawn out ordeal. thanks for the input....and the...

Re: This converter looks weird!!!!!! is the syty 9/11 converter a lock-up stlye converter?

Re: This converter looks weird!!!!!! thanks for the sarcasm, it made me laugh! i am still trying to figure out how to get the picture off of the my pictures folder on to the thread. the trans side of the converter looks like any other converter,but smaller,then steps up to a large flat plate...

does anyone recognize this torque converter? it is in my ty. i am trying to narrow down why the truck is not locking up if this image doesn't pull up i'll try again.

Re: One last shot... Breaking up! Anyone think this could be related to the coolant sensor? I was advised to check into this when i had a very rich condition. This is completely the opposite,but you stated that this gets worse the hotter it gets. Am i way off base?
