anyone? Dumb Question? C'mon, at least I didn't ask what lift or tires to buy...

Tracking back through time, my 96 D1 has thrown out a CEL code of P0125 for the low temperature error that 1996 vehicles (and others) had as a software problem. This was fixed in 1997 and was available to earlier trucks as a PROM upgrade for a time. Those parts are NLA and if you were'nt lucky...

Ha!- moving from the cold climate would do it- now that it's springtime here in Colorado, the CEL has gone dark again. I appreciate all your help guys, I'll keep looking for a swappable part. It's cold enough here on a regular basis that come next fall I'll be aggravated all over again if this...

Seems I've fallen victim to the P0125 code, with the GEMS ECU in my 96 D1. The thermostat works fine, and the coolant system is up to par, but the CEL has come on with regularity when the ambient temp. outside is low. My question is, does anyone know of a source for the PROM to fix this...

You'd want to make a day trip of it if you're planning on going up Pikes Peak and back, especially from the Highlands Ranch area. Travel time from Highlands Ranch to Colorado Springs, plus the trip up and down the mountain is a full day. As far as a place to stay, there are several to choose...

I had a similar problem with a 2" Rovertym lift and Great Basin front driveshaft. The cardon joint on the front driveshaft was hitting the front swaybar. The thing that clued me in was the paint being worn away on the driveshaft by the sway bar, and the fact that it would be harsh over bumps-...

Yea, thanks for the Important Safety Tip. That shaft wiggles around like mad and I know that until the bearing's seated properly with spacer and flange that any driving's a no-no. I'll let you know about the extra spacer. I appreciate the sanity check- after wrenching it's such a let-down to...

Spacer Well, actually, I'm experiencing the opposite problem- the seal went in and is recessed, the flange went on, then the original thick washer and nut- torqued it all down and it's WAY inside the housing- the dust shield is literally .25 inside the housing, rubbing as I spin it. Seems I...

OK, There've been a few past threads on the Rotoflex conversions, and thankfully after reading them my old driveshaft, centering dowel and pinion flange came off without a fuss. I'm working on a '96 D1 and have a Great Basin rear shaft conversion kit. BUT, now that I've put the seal in place...

I have the same fuel smell, and like you I believe it occurs more when the tank is empty and on a hot day. I had thought previously that it was other parts in the fuel system and have changed them but I still have the odor. I'm waiting for my tank to be replaced- I believe it is the last item...

Options Thanks a ton you guys, so far this gives me some great options- Front drive shaft, u-joints in particular, Rear drive shaft, Rotoflex coupling, Rear sway bar, interference with driveshaft, Pinion angle adjustment back toward neutral/stock angle. It all makes sense to check, I'll let...

propshaft measurement Thanks, that's a great place to start. I should know better than to take for granted that ANY change in driveline geometry would be without consequence. I might be interested in the propshaft parts, please send me a pm with price and some details and I'll let you know-...

OK- hate to do this if this is redundant, but...I have a question regarding driveline vibrations from a 2" suspension lift. If you're bored, read no further, or if you can help... Truck is a '96 D1 5spd., 100k miles I'm getting a strange buzzing type noise from my truck when I lift from the...

tank service Following up, on my last message, I've called the Denver South shop, off of County Line and Broadway, in Littleton. I did all the other service work myself as far as part replacement, except for the system pressurization, which the dealership would have had to coordinate. The end...

fuel tank recall I recieved my letter and called my dealership here in Denver, and they told me to call back every two weeks- they've recieved so many calls for tanks that they can't keep stock. So, I'll keep calling and waiting. My '96 has had a distinct fuel odor for over a year (as long as...

Colorado mornings of late have reminded me of a modification I've put off for a bit but am now ready for- adding the seat heating elements to my '96 D1. I looked at the tech. section and reviewed the article posted there for seat heaters and was curious if this add (for the DII) could be used...

I just recently replaced both front and rear sunroof rails in my '96 and completely removed the headliner by myself, after following all the steps in the outline you mentioned in the archive section. However, I did a few things differently that may help. Remove all the grab handles and sun...

CJ- What about the responses to YOUR post on this same topic? Look on page 6 in this section, Discovery Technical Discussions... Rupp had a great solution with coming through the factory roof rail and even shows pictures of the waterproof connectors sourced at Pep Boys. I'm putting this...

OK- Just went through removal of the ENTIRE headliner and misc. parts to install a CB, replace sunroof tracks (which went very smooth), window tint, etc. and I'm going to pre-wire for roof rack lights and the CB radio's power. Now that all the overhead parts are off and I'm ready to run the...

Victor, THANK YOU! That is exactly what I was looking for, Many Thanks, Bill
