    Interior Voltmeter reading incorrectly, causing all kinds of problems

    The 2 in the back combined were reading the 12.5 which is still bad, but I didn't check them individually. I might be able to refurbish them individually once they're out of the car. At this point it's pretty much time against me, no days off until summer and even then I'll be working, just no...

    Interior Voltmeter reading incorrectly, causing all kinds of problems

    Front battery is at 10.1 by itself. Fuck. I guess I'm going to replace all 3 batteries, they're all not in the best shape.

    Interior Voltmeter reading incorrectly, causing all kinds of problems

    Both grounds on the driver side fender are secure, car still won't crank. I'm going to try to swap the PCM later today.

    Interior Voltmeter reading incorrectly, causing all kinds of problems

    Yea I have a Mechman 240A alternator, and 3 XS Power batteries (1 D3400 under the hood, and 2 D3100's in the back). I have a 1/0 ground from the front battery to the fender for the chassis ground, and the rest of my sound equipment runs directly from the batteries in the rear to the front...

    Interior Voltmeter reading incorrectly, causing all kinds of problems

    Ok yea I've never experienced those issues. Sometimes I have the Stabilitrak come on and the AC starts blowing hot, but I think that's one of the sensors in the steering wheel. That's been going on for years though and is a rare occurrence.

    Interior Voltmeter reading incorrectly, causing all kinds of problems

    So I first noticed this problem a few weeks ago when I had to drive my truck to school because I was fixing something on my daily driver. On the freeway I noticed that my analog voltmeter was reading around 12 volts and was slowly going down. I initially thought that my alternator went bad and...

    Transmission does not want to shift into 2nd

    Transmission does not want to shift into 2nd

    Well something came up, probably postponed until next Sunday. But it'll give me more time to do some research I guess lol

    Transmission does not want to shift into 2nd

    Anybody have a list of what pressures are ideal for different gears? Got the gauge in and going to test it a little later today. After doing some searching online this is all I could come up with Is that a good enough ballpark?

    Nice to know, I'll go look for it now. I bought the Torque Pro app because I heard it had a lot more features than the free one.

    Transmission does not want to shift into 2nd

    I would love to put a stall in, I just don't have the time to do it and kind of don't want to spend the money on it lol. If something catastrophic happened and I had to completely rebuild the trans, then that would give me the excuse to go for 65e hard parts and a nice 3000-3600 stall. As for...

    Transmission does not want to shift into 2nd

    Yea the 5.3 has 2 seperate headers that y off to a single pipe somewhere near the oil pan / transmission. I haven't been under the truck in a while but I don't remember the exhaust giving me much problems when I dropped the pan before. Assuming the pressure test comes out ok and I end up...

    Ordered a pressure gauge, I'll post back up when it comes in and I can get some readings.

    Transmission does not want to shift into 2nd

    Well I did drop the pan to do a flush and filter replacement about a year ago, but the problems only started occuring recently. I talked to one of the mechanics at the dealership I bought the truck from yesterday and he told me to check the line pressure before doing anything. I'll probably try...
