2000CL713 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Can someone run a vin number for me and post the specs of the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 55k rear tandem, etech motor probably right side VMac III computer next to frame rail. Need to be sure your engine mounts are in good shape so the engine doesn't rock and crush the computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Watch for engine codes. When the key is first turned on you should see the lightning bolt turn on for a bit then go off. That's the check engine light. If it stays on, with the cruise control switch off hold down the set/decel button a few secobdst until the check engine light starts doing stuff. It'll blink out a 2 digit fault code. Write it down. Hit the set/decel again, it'll blink another fault code if there is one. Keep doing it til it doesn't give any new codes any more. Some of us here have invested in the books on these trucks and can tell you what the codes mean. The tiniest dent in the side of that computer is all it takes to destroy it, or so I'm told, so be careful with it if you buy the truck. Clean looking engine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
