ytzuzu Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hello all! I'm disappointed in myself for not joining earlier. Cut my eye teeth on a tweaked '86 superliner 500 that my grandfather bought 2 years old from a local fellow, and the love affair was on! I was spoiled, I know. I haven't driven anything with as much power as that old truck. (drove a signature 600 that was close) I got my cdl on that truck. I've driven every make of truck on the N.A. continent and still seem to get drawn back to that old dog.It's still in town albeit in a sad state of disrepair. My grandfather died and my cousn somehow ended up with it. Said he was gonna fix it, but that never happened, and he ended up selling it locally and it sits in a yard with a tarp over the engine. Seriously wish I had the $$$$ to buy and fix the engine and restore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Welcome aboard! Great site here and lots of good knowledgeable people. Good luck with the superliner. Got a lot of history there sounds like. Wish I had one too! Trey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortstack Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding the problem. I would start with the easy stuff, the engine speed sensor, make sure no wires are broken, etc. The data link sounds like the engine computer and vehicle computer aren't communicating which could be a wire, connector, ??? Sorry I'm not anymore help. Trey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
