Re: Transmission Cooler

I just returned from a 900 mile round trip from SoCal to Yosemite. My '98 with 156k ran up and back without a hitch. Flat ground running, the engine ran at about 165° and the tranny just slightly higher. However the moment we climbed, the tranny increased as much as 230° while the engine, even unde...

Re: Where is my Cruise Control Module?

What is all that electrical business you've got going on under your hood lumpy? It separates the stock elec loads from the add-on loads. 2/0 cable from battery to 100A circuit breaker. The stock stuff (ign, lights, horn etc) all draw their power from there, BEFORE the circuit breaker. They all are ...

Re: Where is my Cruise Control Module?

OK. Found the cruise control servo near the ThrotBody. The linkage to the TBI
is missing. Now I'm off to pull a part to find a replacement.

Thanks all.

Re: Transmission Cooler

Your 2000 should already have a trans temp sensor. I read mine using a Scanguage2. I'm not sure, but I would guess any of the vans with the E version of the 4L60 would have a temp sensor as I seem to remember reading the way the trans routes fluid it dependent on the computer reading the temp. I am...

Re: Stiffest shock absorbers
