Hello Y'all -

I have owned an '82 XLT Lariat for a long, long time.  Just got an '89 XLT and was searching the web for answers for my "bring her back" attempt.  This forum popped up in the answer to my question, and I immediately joined.  Didn't know about this forum, but have been a member of another forum for a long time.

I'm crazy about these trucks and love reading all I can about them.

My '89 FSB didn't have any of the dealer supplied information, so my first task is to find an owner's manual.

I'm looking forward to being part of this forum.

I will post pictures as soon as I can.

This forum came up in response to a question I asked about my steering column, and I am so glad it did. I am the proud owner of an '89 full size, that I am currently restoring. My first task is figuring out why she is stuck in drive and why the keyswitch won't work (I've had to hotwire it). Any suggestions?...

yo Becca

Welcome!

For now, lets address the transmission

AOD has 14 pan bolts w/ P-R-N-(D)-D-1 shifter pattern, note, OD is actually a (D) .

C6 has 17 pan bolts; P-R-N-D-2-1, shifter pattern.

Assuming its the C6;

Vacuum Modulator on passenger side of transmission; Check for vacuum at mod. Should be around 16 - 21 psi in idle.

Pull vac line off,if there is a flow of trans fluid, replace modulator.

Low fluid level

Vacuum Modulator Replacement in an 89; "..The different color bands indicate the diameter of the rubber diaphragm inside the modulator. The two COMMON colors from auto parts suppliers are PURPLE and GREEN. These are for CARS. TRUCKS like OURS REQUIRE the BLACK banded modulator, likely from a transmission shop or dealer. This is regarding the mid/late 80's models, maybe more... Id venture to say any C6 with a slip in modulator. Again, PURPLE and GREEN are NOT the correct units to use, BLACK is the intended modulator as was designed for TRUCKS; by MyFullSize (Andrew)
