92 GMC K2500

[Syncro]

Alright well I wouldn't be posting this up unless I had to. Well I've got a gmc 2500 I've been working on for a while and I just got the rebuilt tranny installed in it. Its got a 4l60. All wires are plugged in and everything is bolted down. The problem I'm having is the truck won't turn over at all, turn the key and I get nothing, starter doesn't turn or anything. The car also has this small red light by the dash and headlight switched that keeps blinking and used to simply stay on before. there's this small box below the dash that keeps ticking. Really need to get this thing going, the starter doesn't crank the motor at all when I turn the key. The engine is a 5.7 liter voretec 350, has a rebuilt top end. Any help would be appreciated. I realize ratsun isn't exactly the best place to post something like this but my hands are tied.

Find the box and hit it forcibly while you turn the key.

Probably some sorta relay to the starter solenoid. Sometimes they get stuck and need a good beating.

If all else fails, scrap it and buy a 620.

Oh, before you beat on the relay.. Check your connections. A bad battery connection will cause that. Take both battery clamps off, clean everything till its shiny, clamp them on tight.

And try jumping it off...

Already tried jumping it yesterday I'll try and clean up the posts. Yeah it's just that I never had the problems before, after I installed the new tranny It wouldnt start. So either something is up with the plugs on the tranny, something's up with the battery connectors, or something is wrong with the relay. Guess I'll take a screwdriver to the starter if all else fails. Also there is 1 hose coming from the transfer case that appears to go somewhere but I can't seem to find anywhere, it has a plastic fitting at the and that has clearly melted from laying against the exhaust probably after it broke, wondering where the hose I supposed to go is the thing.

it sounds to me like there is an alarm of sorts on the truck.

[Syncro]

okay so it was some sort of security system, anyway, it fired right up after I got the thing disconnected. So now it won't go into gear, I'm thinking its the torque converter, its brand new but when I bolted it up to the flywheel I think its may of pulled itself off for some reason. Taking it to the mechanics who rebuilt the tranny tomorrow, hopefully they can figure out the problem.

was low on fluid that grinding noise was more like an exhaust leak, gotta get it fixed but for now the truck is doing good.
