Used a green scotch brite and used mediu...

thanks!

guys,

does anyone have a photo showing what the original radio looked like that came in a 68'D200 Camper Special?

thanks,

I'm 90% sure it's the torque convertor. It happened to me. Worked fine one day, absolutlely NOTHING the next. I tried the fliud/filter fix. Nope. So I pulled the tranny & took to a good shop. They said there was no reason why it shouldn't at least move the vehicle & that my TQ was bad. They were co...

bump,

any more suggestions?

thanks,

There are several things that will cause it not to move. Bad pump, torque converter, plugged filter, low fluid, stuck switch valve, linkage issue, broken internals. I have seen all these particulars in 25 yrs of trans experience. Best bet is to put a pressure gauge on it to see if it makes any pres...

Was it running / working when you got the truck, or has it been sitting? If it's been sitting, it could be t...

my 68'D200 auto will not stay running at idle unless I give it some extra throttle. any ideas why? bad gas? truck has been sitting...not sure how much gas was in the tank. I added fresh gas. I should have drained the gas tank prior but I didn't.... Like I stated first, I should have not been lazy a...
