I have been trying to find a simple way to determine if the transfer case locks. The only ways I can figure is to:
1: get it stuck and see if front and rear spin at the same rate.
2: check the c7 clutch pressure vs main.
3: check for binding on turns on a hard surface.
The safest and least...
Eco Hubs tear down report.
Driven about 3k miles, most highway, some snow and off highway/road conditions, several times had TQ stalled in 1st gear while towing another 1078 that got stuck in a ditch. Driving duration of 2 years. Repacking rear axle bearings, found splines to be in good...
I usually try to shift when driving straight on a low traction surface. I have a couple of situation where I shift on the fly, such as making a hard turn then driving up a steep hill. I think the weak point of the drivetrain would be the splines in the differential, front axle u joints or the c7...
I took the head off my parts truck and rebuilt that then swapped with my operational truck and I just finished replacing all the valves on that as well so I have a spare. I found all the intake valve disks damaged even tho the springs were still intact, the disks have gouge marks from slamming...
It is funny, I parked next to a river and I had the same thought, imaging the parking brake releaseing and me rolling into the river in the night. My anxiety got so bad I dug out the chocks in the middle of the night.
If you want to big deal it you can have Cat do the blow by test with a special meter that is attached to the breather to get a specific CFM for acceptable blow by.
I used sensor common, there is some difference of opinion that sensor common is not the same as gnd, but it seems to work for most people. I also had to wire in a relay tied to service brake to give the ecm signal the brake is applied to shut off the cruise control.
I am guessing when you pull the sensor the ECM just assumes the pressure based on engine RPM and spool valve current. It must use a trend line or a table to estimate the values. Glad you are making progress.
Does the value change on ET? My experience with bad sensors is a hard failure, were the sensor produces no computed data usually outside of range or unreasonable data range, intermittent failure give correct/incorrect reasonable values and unreasonable data range. Then the unannunicated failure...
I think each clutch should have a pressure switch, if they are pressurized you should have a code, can you check if you have any transmission codes.
a youtuber had a truck that the tranmission was seized and it ended up just getting really hot, another guy on Facebook had a tranmission that he...
