Does everything go at once? or do your brake/abs lights come on before the gauges go limp?

That clip just holds the ground wire that I had to fix, which resolved my issue. And yes that ground caused my oil, temp, fuel, and batt gauges to go limp.

I'm not surprised that it wasn't the ignition switch. Unless others have resolved this issue with a different outcome, more than likely it's a grounding fault somewhere in the data line. Does this happen as soon as the vehicle's started or does it take a few minutes for it to occur? Does any one...

do your fuel, oil pressure, temp, and voltage gauges all go limp? I had the same exact issue in mine. Check your window switches, they should also be dead if I remember correctly. Skip to 1:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TrRd1UgSO4 Do you notice anything before your cluster goes crazy? if...

You're going to make a kit, correct? :yes:

Which I will be pulling tonight. I'll keep ya'll updated.

I'm sure it was low. My reservoir was dry and I know I've got a leak in one of my trans cooler lines which I'll be replacing next week depending on how my financial situation goes ($250 for a radiator and fluids will take a nice chunk out of your paycheck)

I see where you guys are coming from, but if you look at the image below, I separated the trans fluid and the coolant that I let drain out. The clear jug on the left is about 95% trans fluid with a little coolant on the bottom. The yellow jug is full of coolant and the bucket has about 2.5 qts...

Yeah I did. I see the clips now, but I'm not really worried about it. The new radiator has the fittings in it so I'll just unclip the old fittings from the lines and install them the right way. The overflow was empty, but I would be worried at the thought of even a little coolant getting in...

Because along with my less than a cup of transmission fluid, I also got about 8.5 quarts of coolant out along with it (pointing to an internal leak in the radiator) and since transmission fluid floats on coolant, whatever transmission fluid went through the cooler most likely got displaced by...

I'm not sure who recommended against gapping iridium spark plugs, but it's perfectly fine to gap them as long as you use a wire type gapper and not the slide/coin type.

So should we take bets as far as how long my tranny will last? I'm not sure how long it's had this issue, and I'll find out how bad it is in the morning when I pull the pan. I had gotten 9 quarts of some nice $8 valvoline synthetic dex vi, but I think I'm going to make a trip to wally world to...

So I decided that since I've got the next two days off, I'd go ahead and give the tb a transmission flush since it has 170k on it, I bought it 8k miles ago, and I don't know when the transmission was flushed last. I did some research and decided that pulling the return line on the cooler and...

I got mine from SVCustoms Black $138.95 Chrome $208.95 I've got the black ones on my ext They also have em about the same price for swb models too.

I'm gonna be flushing/changing to the dorman tomorrow (it's been sitting around for about 2 weeks waiting to go in)
