Hey what is the difference in dbc and dbw??? which one is better? does one give better throttle response?
Hey what is the difference in dbc and dbw??? which one is better? does one give better throttle response?
Was this engine a gen III or gen IV???? anyone know if the gen IV is better??? better how???
I already answered that earlier for you. DBW is an electronic throttle body. DBC is a mechanical cable driven throttle body. The throttle response is equal.Quote:

i also have an issue with the dash lights...anyone help me with this? all the bulbs have been replaced and all the exterior lights work on the truck now.
http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/..._VIDEO0060.jpg
whats the issue? Your pic is all blurry. They arent working? Or too dim?
The hi beam indicator is stays on until I turn the high beams on. It's like if the left turn signal and hi beam wires were switched
did you plug in the plugs that go through the firewall on the passenger side, by the a/c stuff?
my dash lights were weird until i plugged those in. my left blinker indicator would just stay on & i think my high beam light was on also.
You kno what they are unplugged right now. I'll plug.em up later and ill see what happens
Gives the truck a whole different look, those smoked lights looked like crap imo.. Looks great!Quote:

did you have to put in any type of resistor for the tach? if so, what did you use?
X2....my tach seems way off too. Its seems way too low?Quote:

Is that what your tach was doing too? Seemed way too low? It sounds like I can rev the piss out of mine and I can only hit around 2500 lol.Quote:

so after talking with Redheartbeat he help me diagnose my trans issue. the 2-3 solenoid was either blown or not getting any power. so i dropped the pan today and bench tested the solenoid. it was good. checked the wiring and there was a break somewhere. after going through the entire harness i find this!
kinda hard to see the the blk/yel wire is disconected. i hooked it back up and voila! we have power! so i figure now i dropped the pan ill change the filter and fluid. also clean up the pan.

Green PCM connector Pin 9 is a dark green wire with a white stripe, it triggers the relay for the fuel pump. It supplies power to the relay.
yea for some reason it was in green pin 5 and worked til now lol. its in pin 9 and theres no power. i cut it and put the test light to it and theres no power at all. no codes are coming up either.Quote:
