well believe it or not with parts falling out of the old cluster a new gauge set tach still does not work will get new part# 300.48.074 engine speed sensor next. does anyone have one laying around?
two of my friends have the Duramax and they both let the dealer do it cause they do not want the broken off glow plugs on them, if the dealer breaks them they eat it. if you have a check engine light on it might go out when they are replaced and if you have remote start that might start working also.
if you have a gm diesel be careful I hear they are bad about breaking off and if that happens it is off with the heads. and to do that the cab will have to be removed. that is just stupid! ford is that way on other parts. engineers should have to fix this stuff!
I would say you got your starting issues well under control with the tractor, time to work on the truck something is not right with that much time on a heater and a no start
yeah all this guessing, it sure would be nice if the Chinese would come up with a well translated shop manual, it is a good thing these are as simple as they are, to keep the guessing to a minimum.
I had the meter on auto adjust and for it to read to hundredths of a A/C volt . And the voltage did increase as the rpm went up BUT the voltage I read was about 3/4 of a volt on the bottom end and 1-1/4 on the top end BUT I suspect that might be normal as I was reading right off the pick up plug.
the pick up was pulsing a/c current so I ordered a new gauge cluster from Asian Tractor Parts they are in Ontario Can. ($230.00 plus shipping) It is the first time I have used them ,so we shall see how it goes they were less expensive by 150 bucks from whoever sundown eq. found had the part ($381.25) plus shipping OUCH the difference buys a lot of beer, YEA!
thanks Bob it makes sense it would be a A/C generator I was shocked (no pun) to see the voltage amounts it makes. It shows the gauges being in place while testing I will try without hopefully I will see something without the gauge load.
