wheeling pics and problems

not going to happen, but today im already out and im going to try and take care of my tsb

 

and also my truck dosnt sound like it wants to start but it dose (barely)
im thinking altinator but i would think the battery would be dead by now any one have any other ideas?


also another problem i have is it feels like my power stearing dosnt work all the time but its ben like that for a while now and the fluid is reading its full so idk? any help with that









Hey man, i would clean all your electrical connections as far as the starting problem goes.
I had a 97 taco i burried in a mudhole once and it screwed up my power steering. take it to a service shop that can do a power steering flush which will run you about $60-$80. After the system is flushed add a bottle of Lucas Power steering treatment along with your fluid and it will do wonders. My power steering pump was almost out and the Lucas oil brought it back to life.

 

thanks man ill try that

 

ok so i got in my truck this morning and no start
got a jump and still no start
battery has power
the headlights work and the radio and clock work and the clock kept time
idk help?

 

anyone?

 

does it make a sound when you try to turn it on?

like.. clickclickclickclickclcickclickclickclickclickclick

i have left my radio on while truck is off for too long before and the radio/lights/clock all still work but wouldn't start up... it takes a good bit of juice to make it turn over


but you said you tried to jump it so maybe that isn't it.

 

i dont remember if it clicked or not but i think it did around where the gauges are
it did make a faint noise but i dont know where it came from

 

i would hook a battery charger up to it for shits and giggles while you're thinking what else it could be

 

im at school and wont be home untill 5


the battery has plenty of power tho

 

also for the last coupple of days it didnt want to start

 

ok... i was just sayin incase because i have been in the situation where all the other electrical components in my truck were working but there wasn't quite enough juice to start up the engine


not sure what other problems there could be that happen while your truck isn't being used overnight

 

more info could get you some other diagnosis

 

no because i hooked the jumper cables up to it and touched the +and - and it sparked alot

 

went mud riding and got stuck on monday and got puled out and im not shure what was under water or not and after that it didnt wwant to start

it turned over but slowly like it didnt want to

 

no i hooked the + up to the + poll and the - to the - pole and the other 2 connections that ur supposto hook up to the otherpersons car i touched together

 

anything?

 

Well since it doesn't run, I'd say take the battery and alt out and go to autozone or advance auto and get both of them tested. one of the two (maybe both) test both for free, so it can't hurt.

 

i just thought of somthing
could it be he silinoid?
