Check your starter connections too. I read someone else had that problem before.

Yes, mine do...

I would call some trans shops about replacing the housing and servicing that trans since it was working before.. Those prices sound high to me. Most people buy these vehicles to work on them themselves and it is not always a daily driver. Shops always cost more, but sometimes needed.

When you change the trans housing I would change the flexplate too. I bought mine from Oreilly's. Unless you are desperate for transportation I would not trust that truck until it was fixed. You can even find a TH400 trans for a not to bad price, maybe even better from a salvage yard if you...

Push button. Fix the easiest most obvious first if in doubt. Some vehicles you turn the key and push a button to start. Maybe this is what the original owner was trying to do. Who knows...

nevermind...I would try a new switch first, then figure out how to fix what was done after you get going. Probably a new in-line fuse too like was mentioned.

That sounds like the original direct drive starter. Not a bad thing if it works. The only reason I mentioned the Roscommon 12 volt conversion is because you have half of it done with the gp resistor bypass and because of the extra starter solenoid. The conversion would bypass the later as...

If you turn your key and it does nothing check your battery cable grounds. If it clunks once check your starter. If it tries to start and won't turn over it could be something else like fuel or gp's. The doghead mod is so easy and takes 10-30 minutes depending on your experience. Some day...

I found an alternator mounting cup that will work with this tach. Several companies and EBAY sell the same one so I am not pushing this company. It is for information only. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-5204/

If you go through the vid manually you can see more. Definitely the 12 volt conversion on the gp relay. Did you trace the wires to the extra solenoid to see where they go? Anything special on the inside of the truck? Keep us updated if you will please. I still think you have a starter...

You really can't mess this up. The only thing different is the shape of the bracket. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/692875-post16.html

I had a local muffler shop called Silent Knight do them. It was worth every penny. Dual exhaust and mufflers.

I agree

I would not do the manual. You may encounter too many problems later. Get the gp system working right and maybe do the resistor bypass.

If your gp's system is working, I would still suspect the starter and flexplate. I would drop the starter and test it or have it tested. Might as well get new starter bolts too. Take a look at the flexplate teeth while it is off. I still can't believe they hacked your gp system. :( EDIT-...

There are only two ways these trucks should be not counting a complete engine change, stock or Roscommon conversion to 12 volt. Any good tranny shop should know how to work on the TH400 transmision. It is one of the most basic trans available. For what you have paid already you could have a...

Pics of the batteries will tell if it is 24 or 12 volt. You should know if you bought a 24 or 12 volt starter. You are going to want to do the gp resistor bypass later, but that is probably not your problem. I am thinking a bad or short in your battery cables. Think grounds first. Also when...

Welcome to the madness!

This is probably not your problem, but clean everything connected to your 12 volt junction bar. The diamond shaped thing with the wires connected on the DS firewall under the hood. Of course you know that...

I finally replaced my PS mirror. This mirror looks so good I can't wait to break my DS too. Not really... :-D
