    Brake Lights Work Under Brake, Not Under Service

    Crazy as it seems,also make sure all the bulbs are the correct type and number. I got into this same issue and it was the bulbs had been replaced with the wrong ones. Also remember your turn signal control can give these same problem,as the wiring for the stop lights are routed thru it and...

    Can I retain my 24V gauges?

    The resistor is a ballast resistor in this application. The resistor goes in line with the 24V lead that originally fed the waterproof dist. on the GMC engine 24Volts >into the resistor,which drops the voltage to as I said around 13-16 volts which the GM HEI dist. will tolerate very...

    Can I retain my 24V gauges?

    2wd 700r4

    I am not an expert on tranny's by any means, but my transmission Guru says the easiest way to say it is The turbo 350 and the 700r4 share a lot of things,out put shaft size and count etc. To bring it down to basics the 700r4is a turbo 350 with overdrive. The 4l80 is a Turbo 400 with overdrive...
