    ABS Amigo

    Get rid of the Three Amigos with this reset module. Made by RSW Solutions it sells for $150 to $200. You can have mine for $50. My '99 DII suffered a massive engine failure and went to the breakers. Greg

    1999 DII cylinder heads 4.0

    Had to replace the engine 10 years ago and these heads have been kicking around the garage ever since. As far as I know they are still straight and flat, turns out I had a slipped liner in the block. 50,000 miles at the time. I'm going to the scrap yard on Tuesday and will recycle them unless...

    D2 heads

    I have a set of heads from my 1999 DII. I had a slipped liner that they could not fix so we swapped in an engine. I saved a few parts off of the old block before I trashed it. This happened at around 55000 miles. The mechanic said the heads were fine, not warped, but I make no guarantees...

    235/85/16's on a DII?

    I have a set of 255/70/16 Master Crafts on the DII with a 3" lift. They are reaching the end of their life and I'm a little hard pressed for cash to replace them. I have some 235/85/16's with very little wear (but are 10 years old) sitting on the Series IIa that won't be back on the road for...

    Disappointed in Mieneke fuel injector cleaning

    I'd been getting progressively worse gas mileage on my 1999 DII (122,000 miles) so I thought I'd try the fuel injector cleaning at Mieneke. They show a before and after of an injector with the before dribbling fuel and the after with a nice spray pattern. About halfway through the procedure...

    Transmission flush?

    I'm in the process of doing mantainance on the truck. 1999 DII with about 113,000 miles. I don't drive it a whole lot maybe 2-3k a year so I figured I'd go with the good stuff. Replaced the diff's and T-case with Amsoil. Next was going to be flush and fill the transmission but my local shop...

    Its always friggin' something#!*%

    My CDL shifter install is almost complete, and I'm reassembling the console. When reattaching the hand break the pawl doesn?t seem to want to engage. I can poke at it from the bottom and the button will pop up, but when the pawl moves over the teeth or you depress the button it doesn?t want to...

    What parts are needed for CDL install?

    I've already printed out the directions from Morris Jesup. I have a DI CDL assembly from Will that includes what appears to be the gaiter sealer BT9813. I assume this was a DI part not normally used on the DII. I haven't opened up my console yet so I can't see, but I'm assuming that the...

    Anyone in CT have an Amigo's reset tool?

    I intend to buy one for myself when I get the money but for right now I'd just like to read the codes and reset it. Anybody in the central Connecticut area that would be willing to let me use theirs for 5 miniutes? Thanks Greg H

    How long to reset codes?

    I've been working on the truck ('99 DII) for a while and have managed to go from 11 codes down to 3. How long does it take from clearing the codes to when the self check is done? Is it milage or number of start cycles? I've been clearing the codes after each repair and I'm getting fewer codes...

    PS fluid

    I'll put this in a new thread. What?s the difference between the super special LR/Texaco 14315 fluid and generic off the shelf fluid? (and don't say $15/qt). Is the difference in performance or is there something in the generic that will damage the pump? It was groaning and out of fluid, so I...

    Viscous fan removal

    1999 DII I'm trying to get at the PS pump and the RAVE manual says to remove the viscous fan using a specialized tool. Now I searched a few threads and it looks like its just a wrench and something to hold the pulley. Several threads suggest the striking the wrench smartly, with just the...

    Power steerng pump and hose?

    How hard is it to replace the suction hose? I think this might be where my leak is so I bought a new hose but I need hands like a 2 year old and two elbows to get at the clamp. Is there some trick? And if it is the pump, how involved is it to change out? Thanks Greg H

    Power steering pump?

    1999 DII. Back before Christmas I noticed some growling coming from the power steering. Usually when turning. During a snow storm it got very loud and when I checked it, it was low, not empty just low. I stopped at the next convenience store and picked up a couple of quarts of PS fluid and...

    Rangefinders

    Being the gadget oriented people that we are, maybe someone can help me with this. I'm looking into range finders this season and have a couple of questions. This is for deer hunting with bow, shotgun, rifle and muzzle loader. I'm in New England so most of my shots are in the woods rather than...

    After all that work...

    DII 1999 104,000 I had my emissions coming due today so I was working frantically to get rid of the service engine soon light and clear all of the codes. My understanding was that if you had the SES showing or had reset the codes and hadn't run through the complete self check you would fail...

    I'm beat.

    DII 1999 I was getting codes that indicated a possible problem with the MAF. So I ordered a new sensor, and airfilter from AB. Now I get codes P0102 (Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input) and P1884 (CAN message WFPDK (DKI) invalid (FFh) whatever the hell that is. I cleared it and put the...

    Cheap OBDII code reader

    With all of the talk on code readers I thought I'd pass this on. I found the INNOVA model 3030 on Amazon.com for $59.99. This is the same one that AB sells for $109 and WALMart for $79.99 Not only that, they had a deal if I got their visa card they would knock $30 off. So I got my reader for...

    MAF replacement?

    1999 DII 150,000 miles. I've been getting the P0141 (O2 sensor) and P1171 (bank A&B too lean) codes. Reset with the OBD2 reader and got P1171 and P1174 codes. I had the MAF replaced two years ago and the front O2 sensors. That got me through emissions testing but the CE light started to come...
