check ebay!!!! I saw like 3 different models on there. I got one off of it. It was a husky class IV with 10k total weight and 1k tounge. Don't think I'll ever haul something that heavy but it sure makes a good bracket for pullin trucks out of the mud. :D

one thing you might try is unplugging the elec connector at the fan and run jumper wires to the battery/fan motor and check your volt meter. that might (not really sure) tell you if you have a short in your wiring. Someone might be able to tell you how to determine how to use the volt meter to determine the amount of amps your fan motor is drawing also.

mjeff, thanks, I have a m/t and my chilton's procedure is about the same. When I set it to .8 volts and start it the engine rev's really high so I don't know what's up with that. If I bump it down to about 7.5 volts it idles out ok. If you know anything about this let me know. thanks, Frank

I'd be very grateful if someone has a FSM on a 88 4.0 5 speed manche. I need to have someone take a quick look at the TPS setting info for me. TIA Frank

bump

First pull the coil wire from the distrib and check for spark that will tell if its spark related.

If you have a volt meter check the tps to see if its adjusted correctly.

cool, I havent seen a td yet

yeah, 210 might be because of the temp gauge unit is on a hot spot of the block. BTW, how's your dad's turbo diesel run? not to get off the topic

Yes I agree with water in the distrib cap. also you might have broken vacuum lines or knocked sending unit wires loose.

jeepco, first the chiltons book states 190 deg and that is about what I found in my kitchen experiment lab. Second. no it runs off the rad thermo-switch and the A/C switch.

200 bucks, that's a hard one. Since you opened up the exhaust you could gut the cat but think about it first becouse of state emmisions tests ect... and don't tell anyone I told ya either. Also, open up the air intake by a KN air filter if one is available or something similar. Tune it up and get that TPS set up for better wheel spin. A properly working h02 sending unit helps some too! well that's about all I can think of for around 200.

OK here goes, the electric stock fan is not coming on at 190 deg as it is supposed to. I did a search and found most just throw in a switch at the dash but I'm trying to get it to work off the radiator thermo-switch. It won't come on with the a/c on either because of a low freon charge. This is what i've done. I took the rad switch out and tested it for continuity in a pot of water on the stove and it works at around 190 deg. I took a jumper wire and jumped the connector that plugs into the rad switch and the fan runs so that tells me that the fan, the relay and everything else is working except the switch! I even went thru the closed rad cooling system bleeding thinking there was air in the rad but that didn't work either. Soooo, My temp gauge was up to 230 deg (it runs cool but I blocked the rad so it would run hot) so it should of come on, at least you would think or ????? Any ideas anyone? I got the truck painted so I've got to get another pic on here. Just put a new fuel tank in and replaced the rear drive shaft u joints with HD off road ones too! TIA Frank

Anyone have info on a good fitting/looking seat cover for our bench seats?????? TIA Frank

pulling the ol puker and gonna tear it down and see if I can find out what is making all that clicking noise. Any links would be great. I'm suspecting it to be the bearing on the front for the input shaft.
