Sounds like a defective healight switch. they are cheap and it is a good guess.

could be the spark plugs are worn out and a new set may fix this,,a good service dose wonders to a car thats running bad and at 21 years old it realy wont hurt it,,,

These are run by a module on your trans now. It is the same one that shifts the truck. They are kind of expencive to replace. You will see it on the driverside of you truck on the side of the trans. There is going to be two that you will see it is going to be the inside one that runs the speedo.

No just remove the cover off of it, End remove both axles, End work from there,

Hi, Yes it could well be a ground problem or a bad relays. Look in fuse box for relays and/or replace.. Good luck.

Hi, If it is making noises then you will have to take it to a ****** shop.You might need new bearings and syncroes. Good luck.

could be it will be firing at the wrong time

Hi, Check fuse in fuse box, usually marked fuel pump. Also check that relays are good. Good luck.

It is located on the engine block usualy lower half of the block.Look around for something with a single wire attached to it. Good luck.

Check your fuel pressure it should be 9-13 psi with key on and engine off.If its not within these specs then replace the fuel pump and filter.

mine wont shift at all stays in first or reverse

700r4 is pretty easy to rebuild. It likley burned up the 3-4 clutch pack. If you intend to rebuild it yourself, ebay is a great source to buy the kits. Make sure you look through it and get clutchs, steels, band, filter and bushings. Almost every kit comes with the seal kits. You should also put a new reaction sun shell in as they commonly break. It's less than $200 for all this and fluid.

there is a solenoid on the front differential that engages the front axles. it is quite common for it to fail.

replace the crank position sensor this aloows sparks and fuel when cranking over, :)

Those are pressurized pump in the fuel tank. You should have a inspection access plate on top of the fuel tank(s). If there is more than one tank be sure the relays and the system to change over tanks is working properly. First thing starting it , in the morning , turn all out side noise off, turn key to on position just short of cranking the engine over ,and you should be able to hear the pump in the tank , making a low growling noise , if it is working propery , this will last about 30 seconds while the pump builds pressure.

oil pump is good evidence of wear and age on engine. older engine with high mileage has lower pressure. in two years your vehicle will be an antique.

maybe you should consider looking around for a rebuild engine swap. another used engine will be itself so old that it needs rebuilding.

oil sender is cheap and easy to replace, but your story sounds like it is working fine.

Crawl under the truck and look beside the oil pan just in front of the transmission bell housing.
The starter is 4"-6" or so in diameter and approximately 10" long it will have some wires attached to it also.
