I got my squire 60s vibe JM converted to a hard tail by my Luther. He did an amazing job paint matching considered its very hard to find the original fender paint and even then it doesn’t match
Here are some pictures in case anyone was curious what it looks like and what kind of work it requires
Hello everyone, I’m 21 and I bought a 05 Dakota with 230k KMs a couple months ago and let me start off by saying I do love this thing dearly and want to do all I can to fix this.
My dad is a very experienced mechanic but I insisted I’d try to fix this on my own as much as I can as to not bother him from his other work.
I have had the following reoccurring codes with the red light indicating high trans temp operation. I monitor it with the scanner and the temperature will spike from normal operating temps to well over 300C almost abnormally high.
- P0218 transmission high temperature operation stored
- P0934 line pressure sensor circuit low
Allow me to list the current step of my diagnosis and fix
- Pan drop, filter change (both spin on and box filter) and refilled with ATF+4 ONLY I actually did two pan drops in a span of 20km it was a procedure recommended on my dads solis scanner.
- I replaced the transmission pressure sensor on the passenger side of the transmission, it was previously replaced with a STANDARD MOTOR sensor and I hate those I know they are terrible sensors I used to work at a parts store and those were the ones we got back the most due to defectives
- I suspected a short in the ground for the Pressure sensor AND Temp sensor and they are SHARED, so I ran a seperate ground for those two sensors just to at least eliminate that factor
- quick clutch learn for the transmission once changing the sensor
- the previous owner showed me a bill for a replaced solenoid, and judging on the price of the bill it was for sure the whole pack assembly past the valve body, now the only reason I didn’t replace it is that it’s my last solution due to budget restrictions and the fact that it was already done before but I never seem to trust that
SIDE NOTE, the transmission has the shudder that happens at 70kmh (40mph) in 4th gear under low rpm torque load, this might be related to my issues perhaps?
I hope this forum could reach out to me and give me some helping hands. I read up on some other forums and I saw someone mentioning transmission cooler lines being clogged and I’m trying that tomorrow.
