Hey all, I've been lurking and reading and hoping maybe someone on here would have a couple of answers for me.
My truck is a '93 K3500, 6.2L, NV4500, C&C truck with an aftermarket flat-bed.
Would all of these symptoms be commensurate with a fried brainbox/ECM (If I'm correct in assuming it stands for Engine Control Module) or whatever due to welding on my bed... with the batteries installed... which I just read is a no-no. Also, does my truck even HAVE an ECM. I'm assuming it does, and is attached to the Hydroboost/Master cylinder.
1. Speedo intermitently drops out while driving down the road. Drops 5-10 mph, back up, down up down... ect for a few seconds, then seems all right
2. I think my ABS (if there is any ABS) activates while going down the road. I hear a clicking from the lower dash and if I put my foot on the brake, I can feel the pedal pulse. Happens every so often... again for just a few seconds at a time
3. I replaced the temperature sensor after testing the guage by grounding it out and having the dash guage peg out. Now, with the new sensor, the readings are way low, like not even one tick on the dash guage.
Are brainboxes/ECM? engine/model/year specific or can I pick up one and plug in and go?
Thanks in advance!
