Say hello to my little friend!

[BUSHWHACKER]

ECT on or off?
Pull the yellow fuse to reset the ECU.

So I have slackened it off now so there's about 5mm slack before it starts to pull from the g/box, it's still the same, ok from a stand still but if I'm rolling and I floor it, it sort of goes straight to the highest gear no matter how far the throttle is pushed down.
Could it still be the cable position?
Thanks

[BUSHWHACKER]

Ok cool I will slacken it off a touch, I read on here somewhere that the little marker on the cable should be just showing? Is that accurate?
Yes 4wd is all good thanks buddy
Tried to upload the video but it won't let me :-(

Yeah there's a little rubber 'blob' on the inner cable, this needs to be just poking out from the outer cable.

You'll need to upload the video to Photobucket or similar, first.

Ok so got all wired up and took for test drive, it seems to be changing up gears too quick so no real power, if it's in L then it seems ok ?
I have adjusted the gear box cable fully, now if I put my foot flat down at a stand still it seems to stay in 1st till around 3500 rpm then changes up, but if I'm rolling and put my foot down it seems to go straight into 2nd and builds up slowly

Gearbox cable shouldn't need adjusting.
It should be quite slack i.e. no tension on the inner cable at all. If it's too tight then it will affect the shift points as the cable controls the line pressure of the ATF.

Is the 4WD working?

Thank you again Vince for the help the other day, was a pleasure meeting you and I really appreciate you taking the time to assist me, you truly are the wiring wizard.
Was great to see where all the magic happens although you must have the biggest garage with the least amount of space I have ever seen!
Gonna finish up tidying the wiring today so will post a video of the truck running a bit later.
Thanks

[BUSHWHACKER]

Excellent!

Fold the mirrors in, makes the truck more aerodynamic for towing.

Supposed to be dry and sunny all day here tomorrow, so far they have got the weather right for the past three days.

I'll PM my phone number.

[zem_41]

All strapped up ready to go
Hope the weather is better by you Vince as it's pi&&£ng down here!
I'll bring a brolly just in case ha!

[BUSHWHACKER]

Gonna go for thurs if that's ok Vince?
Hopefully weather will b good.
Thanks again for this mate

Okey dokey.

[zem_41]

Ha ok thanks dude, I'll try my best.
Looking at probably tues or wed.
I'll let u know as soon as I find a trailer and checked weather.

[Sylux]

Good luck with that

[BUSHWHACKER]

Any day would be OK, but try and pick a dry one for south Wales.

[zem_41]

Well it is pretty much ready to test drive, bar topping up the fluids, but driving it back 2.5hrs is probably pushing my luck.
So what I was thinking if this is ok with you of course, one day next week bring it to you on a trailer and leave mine around 9am to miss traffic which would see me arrive to you about midday, you spend 30 seconds fixing the problem then I drive it back on the trailer ha!
Obviously on a day that suits you as I'm sure your very busy with other things, and I really appreciate this.
This seems to be my only real option as auto sparks assume it's something wrong with the loom and want to open it up to test whereas you would be able to pinpoint the problem instantly.
I have only been able to get a glimpse of the led a few times as whenever I try to switch the ignition on it tries to start but when I do the led flashes continuously to indicate no faults.
Plus I have not had it running yet so there could be more to come.
Thanks again Vince
