Cut off bolts with a bolt cutter

Make sure fluid levels are full, including transmission, engine oil, and antifreeze both the radiator and overflow. Note: make sure the air filter is clean so the engine can breathe easier too.( like trying to run a marathon breathing through a straw, you will get hot/overheated quickly too) Check fan(s) to make sure they are operating properly, (inspect the blades for correct shape/bends) some clutch fans can wear out, You shouldn't be able to just free spin them, they should have drag to them (check this while the engine is cold and off) if you have electric fans make sure that they are coming on. Lastly check the radiator fins, make sure all bugs and junk are cleared from them that way air can pass through with no obstructions. Hope this helps, happy hauling

Is getting ready to jump time to the point where it will bend valves .i have personally repaired many of these.everyone has same problem

Just turn key a little to get into neutral and start. That's what I am doing until ?

There is no resetting a PCM You mean clear codes & all data,a code reader, or remove the battery cable on yours,I wouldn't be removing cables on most vehicle, unless you know the issues that could happen. Tune-Ups has been gone for 25 years,all you got was spark plugs Who did the work & what was done? How did it run before the work?

I would be checking the front wheel bearings for condition and adjustment. You have a "U"joint /CV joint just inside the front wheel in line with where the axle turns to allow for steering but I doubt if it is that

You should install a transmission oil cooler that is good for 20,000 psi it will help with the loud of the trailor and the size of the tires.

when you are looking at the fuse box and the fuses are to the left the relays are on the right it will be the 2nd relay from the bottom

check your oil and discount your batt. for about for about 10 min.

go to the auto part store and by a book on you truck

Massive failure of the oil pressure pump inside the gearbox - no oil pressure = no gears can be engaged . Most probable cause is a secondary shaft failure. And no, you won't hear the shaft snap - it a small one, deep inside the box.The gearbox must be replaced with a second-hand one - it's cheaper than having this fixed.

I assume you have enough gass.

What are the sounds you are hearing.
Does it tick or make the common sound before it starts the engine.

If it ticks and doesn't make the common sound it's plausible you have a problem with your "start engine" (don''t know the english term) or a problem with a fuse.

If it makes the common sound but doesn't start, check all the cables if its fitted. See if the filters are clean (especially the fuel filter).

There are several reasons for failure when the codes are read and bank1 and bank2 may have HO2S , cat converter ,injectors, fuel pressure, and a host of other explanations that you missed with what you did. IF you come back with the codes you got I may be able to steer you in the right direction

The fuse box is up under the steering wheel and column, it is covered with a black cover which has clips that need to be opened to remove the cover to access the fuses, then the main breakers and modules are all in the engine compartment, a lot of the relays are in a black box on the drivers side under the bonnet

did you check the positive and ground cables??.. ive seen before that if the cables have weak connections the sensors/control modules will not function correctly
