Sorry Mark,

I must have mistaken you for Sammy Davis JR. Your PM showing me your real video made me see my derailment

Your tone is a little off, here, but I think that you did a fine performance anyway..

To me The comment read post 9 did come off as somewhat condescending. I was reading the thread to see what he problem was (just for future reference) My truck is older and I would have no reason to now sensor values(that I do mot have in the first place) so not all of us have a CPS!

It will bounce a little, but not too bad. Does the belt track correctly on the tensioner? I replaced my belt and everything went to hell. Replaced the tensioner and the belt still tracks wrong and makes contact with the tensioner arm.

Sorry was out of town hunting. Belt tensioner is no longer moving so most likely debris. So the cps sensor solved the charging issue still have no cruise and only get OD with the switch I installed on the OD solenoid. I am guessing a wiring issue, any suggestions where to start.

I am sorry for the issues with post 9, just a long day, I did mean .050 and was only looking for reassurance of what I found. You guys are all great, thanks for all the help.

Question

Sorry guys have to ask again. The cps sensor solved the charging issue still have no cruise and only get OD with the switch I installed on the OD solenoid. Any suggestions where to start isolating? I am guessing its wiring but no clue where to start. Unfortunatly I cant afford a service manual from Genos, just had a baby girl so any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you ever swap the relays under the hood as stated in the sticky ? Wouldn't cost you a dime to do so, if you did, and you'd find out if the center relay for the a/c is bad or not.

You might as well park it. If you can't afford a $35 manual for it, you can't afford the fuel.

Get the CD. Print only the page or 2 you need for a particular problem.

Who the hell are you to tell someone to park there truck ! The guy just had a kid, maybe he can't get the manual cause he put money in fuel or food ?! If you really need to use comments to other people on here to make you feel better about yourself get a new hobby.
