@@glenryan6569 that would be the best way to do it. 255/85/16 tires fit great on our highboy but 235/85/16 may be better for a K20

@@Oldschoolrules123 I think you are right

Great point!

I believe you are correct. I had read on forums that is likely what it could be. The air bag light does not come on like in our 02’. Do you have any idea besides a failed/failing ECM as to why I cannot connect to OBD2?

@@southernrevivalautomotive probably not an ECM issue. Start with the easy stuff. If I remember correctly, the ECM shares a fuse with the fuel bowl heater, and those heaters like to short. Unplug the heater, make sure that fuse (and any other fuses) are good, and see if communication comes back. If not, on to the next thing. Get your wire back probe kit out and back probe the powers and grounds on the ECM. With a test light hooked to battery negative, test any constant power wires it has, and any ignition power wires it has, and verify by wiggling the key around a bunch that you're not losing ignition power. With that many miles the key switch could be worn out. If that checks out, and every power source it needs is present, (constant, ignition, or elsewhere,) switch your test light to battery positive and check the grounds. If those are there, you're into some real troubleshooting. If powers and grounds to the ECM are good, and it still won't communicate, there's probably a shorted 5V reference on one of the following sensors: ICP, CPS, MAP, TPS, EBPS Check the 5V reference for each with a multimeter for shorts to the ground pins on the ECM, might be able to check continuity to a chassis ground or something too, I'd try both. I bet one is shorted if everything else is fine. You can do a resistance check to the ground pins on the 5V line for all those sensors, whichever one makes the meter skyrocket is the culprit. I've seen everything from shorted MAP sensors to shorted EBP sensors bring that 5V reference circuit down to ground and kill communication. Or possibly unplug each one at a time, and see if communication comes back after each one. If you find a shorted sensor, make sure it's the sensor itself that's shorted, and not a rubbed through spot on the wire somewhere making intermittent contact with metal Hopefully that made sense and helps a little

Unplugged ICP at start, no connection to PCM, small bag of common tools with. Reason for searching for a 7.3 service body. Update. Truck still does not communicate with PCM, common on 99’s

Roared back to life in a plum of black smoke 😂

@@southernrevivalautomotive she's gonna be great...7.3 turbo ..only way to go. Good luck.

@@robertgriffin7569 Thanks! Looked awhile for a SRW 7.3 service truck. A lot of narrow roads where I go. Been working on it and do believe the Computer is bad. Still runs strong!

no

You have great taste. Sequia brown metallic is the color.

Sure. The Service truck needs an LED loadout

@@southernrevivalautomotive Hi, I have reached out. Can you check my email?

@@southernrevivalautomotive I've reached out

@@southernrevivalautomotive Hi, We didn’t hear from you,Are we still in the progress?

@@VivianauxitoYes. Have been pretty busy lately

hold onto it. don't make em like this anymore.

I prefer the manual for overall power and towing, especially in the mountains.

@@jmaxx88shsu correct. I never not look into a 99’ with fender badges since sometimes they turn out to be an E99 7.3 . I have been busy and have not looked into it much but judging quickly off the heat tape IC pipe is assume late 99

Mine was built 6/99 and it's considered a late 99. I believe the early 99's were built in 98 and up to maybe March of 99. Not exactly sure of the cutoff month but it was pretty early in 99.

@@kirkpalmer1709I think you are correct. Couldn’t remember which month the cutoff was.

@@CarCommentator hello bot. Sure have a lot of subscribers for no view

@@conorcuomo4283 I had 2 E99 trucks over the years and was not sure if 6/99 is the cut off date for E99 or not. Come to think of it, a lot of the E99 had odd colored interiors. I remember the E99 4x4’s had different front hubs. And E99 having different turbo wheel, IC pipe , IC, some other stuff I forgot

@@Gamer_Dudes2 Hello. I still keep in contact with the guy I bought the truck from. Not from pa. Good luck on your search. I’d put a pic on a post on some fb forums. You might get lucky there.

@southernrevivalautomotive ok thanks for the info!

@@theblindredneck747 that makes sense. I like these engines

@@theblindredneck747 I still see a lot of them on the road 4 decades later. They seem to of been made for fuel economy

@@ericgomez3870 showed it in the video. Put inline fuel pump into line that goes from motor to large fuel filter on firewall. There is also another fuel filter on the motor that the fuel still passes thru

Keeping the steelies on. Prefer them as well.
