  1. Awd 4l60 Issues

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Posted

    the fluid pressure manifold is a prob on these transmissions, sediment gets deposited on the switch contacts and can cause all sorts of shift timing issues. its easilly acessible with the pan off, just to the right of the filter, attaches with 3 10mm bolts, and 2 8mm bolts, has a flat 5 or 6 pin elec connection.

  20. Is It Possible?

    i know shell and chevron are on GMs list of approved top tier fuels to use. not many chevrons here in the northeast, so shell is the best option for us. its hard to say what affect these additives have on a motor, the idea is to prevent carbon deposits on valve stems and pistons, and allegedly help with lean misfires that GM had such a prob with. i've used a lucas fuel additive about once a month since new, and the idle quality in my truck is better than almost all the 6.0 k trucks that i service. i agree with the other guys, i wasnt the cause of your op failure.

     

    edit: keep in mind too, who knows whats lurking in a gas stations in ground tanks, water, sediment, i'm sure all kinds of crap. so it may not nessacarily be the brand of fuel, but also the station itself.

    it could be a bad gas cap, more than likely it needs a evap vent soleniod. the solenoid sticks partially open mimiking a leaky gas cap. it would have to smoke tested at a dealership or qualified repair garage to know for sure though.

  24. My Buddy Needs Info On Replacing The Parking Brake

    1. raise the rear of the truck and secure with jackstands under the axle.

    2. disconnect shift linkage at trans (it just pops off with a screwdriver) and shift truck into neutral. make sure front wheels are chocked to prevent truck rolling away.

    3. remove all 13mm rear diff cover bolts and let diff drain

    4. remove wheels, calipers, rotors.

    5. spin rear diff, untill the diff pin bolt is facing you, and remove it (8mm)

    6. remove pin, push each axle in untill the c-clip falls out, i usually stick a small magnet in there to grab the clips

    7. slide out axles, remove old axle seals, unhook old e-brake cables. i usually brake the old cable retainers with a hammer, its faster/easier.

    8. unbolt old backing plates (18mm) and remove.

    9. reinstall everything in reverse order. :cheers:

     

     

    this is important, make sure you get "loaded" backing plates, they come with new e-brake shoes.
