I trust my life with these guys: http://www.elderauto.net/

The owner, Ramon, is a parishioner at my folks' church, my mom had his kids in her class, and we've been taking our cars to them since day one. I proudly recommend them as the best mechanics in Denver.

What about BlownTaco (Darrel) in South Denver....

[Ric]

Eric,
have you tried callin Oleg ?? http://www.irbisoffroad.com/

or Anthony might be able to help ya out.

[mayhem]

Thanks everyone, at this point I'll try them all at this point....

SO I guess the biggest problem is getting the truck from Congress park to one of these guys in first freaking gear.....

[Ric]

do ya have AAA ? or does your auto insurance have the Towing on it ?

[mayhem]

Called Oleg, since it seems as though they are Toyota guys... Should hear back from them today.

[Lysmachia]

Oh crap! Where is congess park? I wish I had a flatbed for ya... So it won't get out of first huh?

[mayhem]

Well for some unknown reason it started working so I ran it to Oleg out in Aurora. Congress Park is between Colfax and Cherry Creek....

[Ric]

please keep us posted, thats strange that it just started working again.

[thefatkid]

If Oleg doesn't figure it out give me a PM. I'll get it figured out for you.

More than likely you had water in the switch and was causing an intermitant short, and now after some heat and time it finally dried out and everythings fine. Seen this twice before at my shop. The problem is that both vehicles i've dealt with is that the switches started to corrode after some time and eventually needed new ones. Hard to tell without testing it though

[Lysmachia]

Hey nice to see ya Daryl! (Blowntaco)

[mayhem]

Water in which switch? I replaced the park neutral switch already. This apparently is now an issue with the ABS. I took it back to Oleg after noticing that the ABS light stayed on, then the truck would not shift into first, then the check engine light came on.

[thefatkid]

Sounds like you have a corroded connection point. Have you played submairne lately? lots of water in the cab?

[mayhem]

no water lately, and I just got a call from IRBIS and that have no idea, proabaly because it comes and goes and they haven't seen it actually happen yet... So I need to go pick it up. BlownTaco ot thefatkid give me a shout. eric (at) honestbros (dot) com see if we can figure this thing out. Thanks

[mayhem]

Seriously guys, if you can help me out email me... I've got nothing

[Lysmachia]

Eric, PM Daryl (BlownTaco) He is on more and we saw him this past weekend. Wish we could help. Troy and I have our own undiagnosable issue going on with his truck too! How anoying this is huh?

[mayhem]

Yeah it's frustrating, I am taking into yet another mechanic this morning....

[thefatkid]

One thing for the guys looking at the park neutral switch is the code sets when: 2 or more shift positions are detected("n" and"d" or somthing like that) or while vehicle is in motion "n" or "p" is detected for 30seconds at speeds greater the 44mph.

do you have a body lift? How did you adjust the PNS when you installed it?

[mayhem]

No body lift... only suspension...
Should be getting it back friday, Elder Auto couldn't figure it out either.

2 for 2

[RedRunnertc]

I would say take it to the dealership, but all they're gonna do is replace parts til the problem goes away...

[thefatkid]

I work this weeken mayhem. I'm off sunday if you want to bring it by my house, but I kinda planned to visit the 4WP event. Do you have other transportation? If you could leave it with me a couple of days and I'll chech it out when I get chances. I work for Burt Toy if you want to drop it off there but I'm waayy busy at work.

What kind of tests have they been doing? what do the ROs say? Have they charged you yet? Can they duplicate it? I might need it a little while to figuer it out, we might be able to trade trucks for a while(if you can drive a stick) I'll have to talk to my insurance first though.

[AxleIke]

Bump for thefatkid. He's great, and will fix you up right.

[mayhem]

Just the scan, they informed mee that they tested the speed sensor today and it's fine. They haven't charged me for anything and they claim they can't douplicate it. But they cleared the freaking codes... wearing me out..

Yeah I have transportation and I can drop it off depending on how far you are from downtown and if it's acting up. send me a PM with your addy.

Thanks

[thefatkid]

That sucks that they cleared the codes. You have a check engine light, abs light is that it? The speed sensor will not keep you in 1st gear, they are looking at the wrong problem 1st. Have you had any major work done to the rig? Anything done around the time when the problem 1st occured? Try to think of as much info as you can. If you are worried about it not making it, i have a flatbed trailer I can haul it out here. I'll PM my info to you.

[mayhem]

for those who care... here's the deal

I installed an aftermarket Tail light assembly a month ago and it was the root of all evil... The tail light caused a short that turned on my abs light and threw a code but only when my headlights were on. I got a new assembly and all is great!!!! The headlight portion of the equation is why none of the mechanics could get the problem to duplicate, they all workked on it durring the day.

[Lysmachia]

I do care.. Troy recently installed some Lightforce lights that we shorted out (yes "I" shorted them out running crange and bumping a fender but who's counting???) that blew out his blinkers and hazards? Who knew? Post like these help Eric because it is random shizzy like this that always comes to pass right?

Still haven't fixed troy's blinkeys but when we do we wil post up the final issue!

[Volcom]

Glad you got it figured out. That was a tough one. How did you end up figuring it out??

[Squeetor]

Hey Mayham,

I live in that general area, 1st and broadway I can give you a ride if you need to take the truck to the fat kids!:kewl:
