Me too.

The are other known problems just none affect driveability at this time. Oops forgot I have a horn kit on order also.

BB72CHEVKT · 01-31-2013, 10:59 AM

Drove her 20 miles to work this morning. The tranny is slipping so I am going to take it to be looked at but everything else is SEEMED ok.

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-31-2013, 11:34 AM

Great! let me know when I can uncross my fingers, they're gettin' tired LOL

gringoloco · 01-31-2013, 12:25 PM

Cool, glad it's all working out

Well do not uncross them yet. I was driving home and was in the turn lane to turn left with my blinker on and it started runnning a little rough just barely noticeable. I look down and my voltmeter is jumping around like the shop said it was before we changed alternators. I figured out that it happens when I turn on anything like the blinker or wipers. I had the first show rewire the truck with a painless set up so I hope ewverything is correct. I am going to take it back to the shop in the morning. The tranny definately need to be looked at and I wouldn't be surprised if it needs a rebuild. I bought it used and it appeared to have been just rebuilt but who knows for sure. I am a little frustrated to say the least. I can live with the tranny problem even though it will be big bucks but these bizarre problems are driving me nuts. The good thing is the motor does run good.

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-31-2013, 07:53 PM

k, I'll keep 'em crossed. At least you know its a voltage problem, thats one step closer to finding it. Then you can relax

BB72CHEVKT · 01-31-2013, 08:06 PM

On beer two right now trying to settle down.

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-31-2013, 08:09 PM

I'll have one after I get off work, hmmm... maybe more..

BB72CHEVKT · 02-04-2013, 03:24 PM

I got a call from the shop today and they say I need a hi-po alternator due to the dual electric fan set up. I hope to take it to the transmission shop tomorrow.

BB72CHEVKT · 02-05-2013, 01:33 PM

I dropped her off to have the tranny looked at this morning. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I also found some rust above the windshield on the inside. I saw some some surface rust but did not think anything of it all this time. Well I dedcided poke it with a key and it went thru and I am fairly sure it is from the drip rail needing to be resealed because the windshield is leaking a little. Hopefully it is just the one small spot I found on the inside.

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-05-2013, 01:43 PM

Well, if the alt solved the first problem maybe trans won't be too bad. Lets hope rust is minimal...still a nice burb though. Hey did you sell that brush guard I saw on the pics before and after thread?

Yes it is gone. I would have sent it to you for shipping if I still had it. I am trying to decide on a new alternator now. I wasn't paying the shop to replace something that takes 5 minutes.

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-05-2013, 02:38 PM

Thanks for the thought but if you see another let me know. On the alt you might want to consider a 100 amp single wire with the internal reg. I know I saw a thread tell how to change the external reg wiring to accept it. DO NOT QUOTE ME this is from memory and we should find it or start another thread but I think it said to jump outside wires and to jump the inners. But anyway this will get the amps you need in a modern alt

BB72CHEVKT · 02-05-2013, 03:07 PM

Yeah, I upgraded to a 96 amp already and it is not enough so I am going to look at a 140 amp.

Zane M · 02-17-2013, 01:07 PM

Great 'Burb! Hope you get the issues ironed out soon.

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-18-2013, 01:42 PM

Any updates? How bad was the trans?

I hope this gets it on the road, that would be great news

BB72CHEVKT · 02-19-2013, 02:53 PM

Well I got it back from the shop and now I need to get issues resolved with vibration in driveline.

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-19-2013, 03:41 PM

Did it vibrate before the trans shop? Probably needs a good balance and u joints

Yes. The vibration was there befor the tranny shop. It has a new driveshaft since I changed to a 700r4 that is supposed to be balanced with new ujoints. There is also a new billet carrier bearing from CPP.

Splash4195 · 02-19-2013, 05:08 PM

Nice Burb!

Just a random thought: are your wheels/tires balanced? Sometimes the weights come off.

That may not be the source of the vibration, but won't hurt to visually check.

Hope you get all the kinks worked out soon!

Good idea. I took it to Discount Tire today and they would not do it because the front tires do not meet the load capacity of the sub. I will take it some where else.
