So I finally downloaded forscan. Seems pretty neat got my TPMS light to go off and adjusted for tire size so thats pretty sweet. Next problem I have is with my aftermarket bumper I dont have the sensors for the rear park aid installed anymore. Every time I turn the truck on and put it in...

Got it figured out. The wheel speed sensor was out ever so slightly like the suitcase latch was barely barely off. Visually it looked fine, but I was pulling on the wires and noticed that it was off slightly. Squeezed it back together firmly and BAM no more dash lights. Must have gotten hit...

It doesnt appear to be damaged. Its plugged in. MAF if mass air flow sensor right? Somehow it must be related to wheel spin? I dont have any loss of power and the truck drives fine. One of my friends said that the wheel sensor maybe has low voltage that the computer ignores after so long...

Oh yea Im all about the scanner and stuff, just was slightly hoping someone would hop on here and be like "here is the exact solution to your problems and itll only cost you $1 to fix". You know what I mean?

unfortunately no I dont. I have tried unhooking the batteries all night, both pos and neg. Ive tried leaving the keys on and unhooking the batteries for 15-20 mins and hooking the batteries back up with key on. Still have the lights.

Simple enough. Batteries took a dive, got some new cheapies from Auto Zone and threw them in. Now Im getting a "Service Advancetrac" message and the ABS and Traction Control dash lights are on. I didnt have these codes before I changed the batteries. Ive driven the truck about 70 miles, nothing...

Sweet that will work. Im still a little hesitant that shifting 9 times in town might suck but the trans is so cheap compared to the others im seeing that its hard to pass up.

I plan on it, but Im mainly collecting parts now. I might pull engines this summer and make sure the 466 is up to the task. But it probably wont be in full swing until this fall or winter. My main plan is to get it running and semi-drivable then do all the other stuff. The outside paint is...

Ha Yea! the Army Green truck with the white on the fenders is the truck this is all going into. The glittery green flatbed truck (International RDF-190) has the dt466 and Im getting the transmission out of like a 80s something peterbilt. The RDF-190 had the DT466 swapped into it after it blew...

So what does "coarse gearing" mean? Its on the spec sheet and thats what the '5' in the model number stands for. Also heres some pictures

Hey that’s great! I was thinking about keeping the stock 20” rims (they are 10 lug and no rings) because the truck had brand new rear tires. I do also have a set of 24.5 chrome rims that’ll fit. Maybe I can trade them for some 22.5. I also want to use the stock rear end but update to a z-beam...

Understandable for sure, I’ve never driven anything larger then an old f800 and it had a normal 6spd in it drove like a pickup. So going to a 9spd will be a learning curve for sure. Biggest reason I’m looking at this trans is I can pick it up for $300 and it’s coming from a running truck

Hello, So I originally started this project with an International Loadstar 1600, but along the way I picked up a 1948 International KB11. Its a single axle with air brakes and the original gasser motor. Anyways Im collecting parts to swap into this truck, I already have a DT466 ready to go...

Ive got 2 in traps so far, who knows how many got in there. Pulling the dash part is a 2 person job, the steering wheel has to come off, plus lots of other frustrating things. I may try the wire and rag deal through the vents. Alot of the smell was coming from the nest they built in the...

I have a 2012 Xlt. My truck sits occasionally and a mouse must have got in the vents. When I ran the heater last night it made the whole truck smell like piss. I could also hear some pieces of something rattling around what seems like behind the cup holders under the radio. So am I going to...
