Back from the dealer's.
Transmission acted just like I'd hoped, and ****d upon full Throttle- Tech hooked up to the system- showed code P0043..Had not seen this one here- he showed me the screen- its a bad FUEL FILTER.
He had the fuel system hooked up to some vacum thing- told me it should never get above 5- it was at almost 10..says that when I give it full throttle, it "runs out of fuel"..basically because the fuel filter is so nasty.
they did not replace the fuel filter today- waiting until Wednesday when the new parts that they had to order for other problems came in.
Hydrobooster- on order- part is in Boston, should be in Tuesday- appointment is for Wednesday. He showed me where it is leaking from....no hassle to get it fixed like last dealer.
Seatbelts- not too sure on these- He wants me to come up on Wednesady, take 1 of the trucks on the lot for the day while he is working on mine, and see if the rear seat belts lock like mine do, if they do NOT, he has NO problem ordering the new retractors- He seems to think that even though I don't think they (the kids are moving)..the ride could be bumpy enough to lock the retractors...either way- I'll end up with new belts...
THE STEERING RATTLE-- I believe he has fixed it, he did not do the bearing kit- because as I had posted before, he had to "see my truck" prior to ordering parts....he did show me exactly what he did, no grease- nothing that I had heard done on here before- and in a few days, if the rattle is still gone, I'll tell you guys what he did..After only driving it home, in the rain, its hard to tell if its REALLY gone. John has taken the truck to work now, and he hears it EVERY day in the shop driveway- so I will know by tonight if its any better, and in a few days- we will know for sure.
I asked him about the 5,000 transmission filter change, he says not required- he did say that he will/can change it on Wednesday if we would like, but its not something that needs to be done yet....we'll see if the fuel filter fixes it.
so theres my update, and I will have more on Wednesday, regarding the transmission/fuel filter, and if the rattle is still there.
