hamsalad 08-02-2005, 06:06 PM Finger stick fried! Truck limped and now I am trying to get it back to stock for the time being. I put stock wiring back, blocker plate out and I am trying to get my kitty back in but am having some issues with clearance. I can't gte the truck up high enough and I already have it all torn down...no down pipe. Anybody got any ideas or can help me? Thanks!!! 8shot 08-02-2005, 06:11 PM Jack up front pass. side, wiggel and shake, it will make it in there. Good luck. McRat 08-02-2005, 06:13 PM Jack the front up. It goes in through the front. You need to remove the 2 13mm bolts that hold the exhaust rubber mount to the Allison. hamsalad 08-02-2005, 06:14 PM Not sure my jack will get the truck that high to go in from the front. Arg... McRat 08-02-2005, 06:17 PM If you can get the tire off the ground, you should have enough room. Use blocks of wood (or books) to get more height if necessary. hamsalad 08-02-2005, 06:19 PM Ok, will try now...thank god for wireless in the garage Desert Diesel 08-02-2005, 06:23 PM How fried is the finger stick? I may be able to repair it for you. I have a shop in Stanton if you need it fixed. hamsalad 08-02-2005, 06:37 PM Ok, looks like that did it...back in business... THANKS GUYS! hamsalad 08-02-2005, 06:37 PM Finger stick was a first generation unit...All wiring was good and solid...Must have just been defective, but after 2500+ miles of no problems?? Wierd...Oh well... hamsalad 08-02-2005, 06:58 PM Any tips on getting that clamp for the down pipe back on?? What a doozy! LBZ DMAX 08-02-2005, 07:01 PM Be sure the flanges are aligned and it should go over both flanges just fine. Play with the back of the front pipe a bit, should have the right angle. McRat 08-02-2005, 07:13 PM Use your jack or a strap to hold the pipe in place. REmove fender liner. Cuss alot. hamsalad 08-02-2005, 07:58 PM I finally got it...what a pain when you are by yourself. Thanks for the easy tips...I should have though of those. I need to head to Autozone to see what codes I tripped. The fingerstick turned to goo. I will take a pic and post it. Looks like something fed back along one of the positive lines and...who knows? Strange how the truck limped. I also apologize if this was not the right forum...it's my daily driver and needed it back in one piece! That clamp was a 10 ****** job. I counted each one I let fly. Truck runs fine now. I cycled through 3-4 start-ups and it reset itself. Must have been 1093? So, now I am stock again...I may dump my truck and go with an 06 just for the hell of it. My dad will get my 04.5 :) | ||
