Is this a 2 cyl, liquid-cooled engine??

If it is, check the coils. I had a 18hp Kaw engine in a JD285. Sounds like the same symptoms I had when one coil was bad. First time it happened under...

I goofed. /forums/images/icons/blush.gif When I was doing a part number lookup I must have checked the box for the Autotrac. You indeed have the correct part number for the Autotrac switch.

Danny,

Let me calm you down even more. I don't want you to feel that the Autotrac system is junk. It's actually very good and works as advertised. Most of the problems that I'm aware of are...

You've got Autotrac. That's important to know because the diagnosis is different. I still think it's the switch but that part number I gave you before isn't the right one.

Danny,

Does your truck have Autotrack 4WD??

IF it DOESN'T, the part number for your switch is 15709327, $30 thru GM Parts Direct

Danny,

My gut tells me that on your '99, it's the switch. The actuator/encoder problems are more prevalent on '02-03's.

There is a TSB, you might get lucky by searching GM TechLink. Click on...

Danny,

Could be one of 3 things:

1. Bad switch as mentioned
2. Actuator
3. Actuator Module

Your kids must think like mine, "Dad, I know you can glue this (insert toy of choice) so it's just like new." I remember spending an hour taking apart a motorized Tonka crane to put some new rope on...

I replaced a 91 Chevy, 350V8, with a 2003 2500HD with the 6L (364ci). I think Chevy got it right with this engine. I tow a 27’ travel trailer on usually one vacation trip a year and...

My sister-in-law just retired a Toyota Corolla with 300,000 miles on it. Drove it back and forth to work about 80 miles a day. I guess I don't need to tell you what she replaced it with.

I got my 025 the first year they came out (early to mid 90's if I recall ). I was at the Farm & Home store last nite and looked at the newer 025 and they do say Made in USA.

Jim

My 025 says Made in Germany right on it...

Make a saddle for your fence. Make it so it will slip right on. It should fit snug.

You got that right. Several books have been written to address the problem in the woodshop....

The chips and shavings are pretty easy to catch with a box or bag underneath your saw, but what you really need to collect is the fine dust. The only way to collect that is with a dust collector and...

I use a 96 tooth Freud on my Dewalt 12" miter saw. I have cut tons of molding w/o any tearout. I don't have the model number handy, but it's pricey... ~$100.

I loved that show. Still find myself humming the tune occasionally.
