    700r4 3-2 shutter

    Thanks guys. Yeah, it feels like torque converter lock up, but knowing that it isnt involved in a 3-2 down shift (but still knowing it could be a converter problem.) It has a warranty, I still have like 4 months on it. I dont want this transmission cooked. I was just looking to see about info...

    700r4 3-2 shutter

    This thing has been running for ... 8 months and its been all of the sudden. And I get there are drums, steels, clutches, bands, and servos. I get the bases for how they work. So When I say Im not a tranmission guy, I just dont KNOW them. Like the logistics to how it all works. such and such...

    700r4 3-2 shutter

    The quick answer is take it back to the rebuilder, but I am wondering what you all think it is before I do that. Im not a transmission guy at all. R&R and thats about it. I have a 700r4 that over the summer developed a 3-2 shutter on medium to heavy acceleration. I couldnt reproduce it very...

    Alternator wiring?

    Voltmeter. Although the gauge is accurate also.

    Alternator wiring?

    ok. Then my wiring is correct. I’m going to take the old and new alternator in for testing and see. I have a feeling they are both good and something else is the issue. Driving at ~2000 RPMs this thing is only charging at 12.6v roughly. I just don’t know what else it could be.

    Alternator wiring?

    I have don’t the big three. I’m running 2 ga from the battery to all ground. Battery to starter. Battery to alternator. I ran 6 ga from alternator to junction. I just replaced the battery and thought this was an alternator issue so I replaced that and the new one puts out the same as the old...

    Alternator wiring?

    Im going to piggy back off of thise thread if y'all dont mind. I didnt even think about the gauge acting like a resistor. I have the pigtail with the resistor. And until my ground issue (another post) my CS130 has been running fine. I now have a new battery. And the alternator is now only...

    Starting issue

    So I have been busy as shit, but here is the end of this... I dont know which ground. All the wires tested fine. I made sure all the crimps were good. cleaned the block ground, frame ground, and radiator support ground (they are all in series), and fired right up. Nothing looks bad. WTF ever.

    Starting issue

    So if I read the wiring diag correctly, the only thing inline with this is the neutral safety switch and then the ignition switch. Can I jump the NSS safely? I should be able to, correct? Its just a switch to make sure its park or reverse for the backup lamps.

    Starting issue

    I have a ground to the frame and to the engine. They are in series and I tested the complete circuit and the sections of the circuit. Im going to the wiring diagram again. Just seems weird that something just gave up the ghost.

    Starting issue

    That’s the thing. It started out of the blue with old starter. I just woke up the next day and the starter started acting up. I say grind for the lack of a better word. It really feels like the starter is struggling and the battery doesn’t have enough voltage. Also, I rewired everything...

    Starting issue

    That’s about the only thing I didn’t check. That said, I know that I visually inspected it. And since I rewired the engine bay, I know it’s good. But that doesn’t mean I’m getting 12 volts when the key is turned to ran. That’s the only other thing I could think of but didn’t think that would...

    Starting issue

    Truck ran fine Friday. Got me home with zero issue. Saturday, go to start and acts like dead battery. Jump it with another vehicle. It takes awhile to start, but I figured the cheap 1yr warranted battery the PO put in was door nail dead. Replaced the battery. Still kinda hard starting but...

    Electric vs mechanical fan

    I have a CU370. It’s the spectra “big block” aluminum radiator. I think it’s actually dual core. I have some Chineseium fan/shroud combo I slapped on as I needed something electrical for the serpentine setup I put on. I have a 180° thermostat. I bought some relay kit online that I think is...

    R4 compressor to line seals

    Well. Since my lines didn’t fit exactly because I didn’t have he seals, I wasn’t sure if I was missing something and got to the point it was pissing me off. I couldn’t find the connector for this compressor and after half a day of searching, found out it was an early model big body LT1 car...

    R4 compressor to line seals

    Thanks for the guidance. I’m not sure if those seals are supposed to come with the lines or not. I assume they do come with the compressor though. All the online parts catalogs do not point them out. It’s frustrating when you’re piecing things together that you KNOW should work but you’re...

    R4 compressor to line seals

    AC Delco part number 15-20058 AZ button pushers couldn’t find it. O’Reilly was closed but online wants $30. Per seal, at NAPA, it’s like 2.69 and 3.99 per seal.

    R4 compressor to line seals

    Found these NAPa part numbers for anyone looking. 407279 yellow seal 407278 green seal 407277 red seal It looks like what I was reading, the green and yellow work for GMC compressors. What a pain in the ass. I wonder if someone ganked them from the line kit.

    R4 compressor to line seals

    I have two of these washers out of a 55455 line. One fits, the other side looks to be a thinner washer with a bigger diameter. I should be able to go to the parts store, and find that washer, correct?

    R4 compressor to line seals

    Ok then. I have a set of those. 56373. I guess I just need to find the washer. I assume the lines just don’t come with the washers.

    R4 compressor to line seals

    But an R4 out of what? I can’t find a set of hoses that will fit it correctly, especially since it’s now on the passenger side.

    R4 compressor to line seals

    i have tried later K5 and Suburban hoses. F body hoses. And now an LT1 Caprice hose and nothing fits. There are some really knowledgeable dudes here. Anyone know what fits this? EDIT. I updated the title of the thread. Hopefully if anyone else needs to find the compressor to lines seal they...

    Does lowering effect load carrying ability?

    I’m so glad you were here to offer positive feed back. What would all of us lowering guys do without your comments and opinions? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You know what other nice people do, they don’t go around showing their assholes to everyone because everyone has one but no one else wants to see yours...
