datzenmike Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Ahhh. Well the automatic has an interlock switch on the passenger side where the floor shift linkage joins the transmission. It allows starts only when in park or neutral. If it was to start in any gear it would just take off on you. Try park. If it won't in park it may need an adjustment or perhaps a wire is off. 1 Quote Link to comment
builte Posted December 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Anybody ever turbocharged a 720? Is it possible to do what will I need Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 I would suggest you invest $40 in the following book on turbo charging and learn all you can about theory and practice. It may save you hundreds and hundreds of dollars and even the engine if it talks you out of doing this. Turbocharging should not be taken lightly. In principal it's simple, in execution it's very complex and extremely expensive if done right. https://www.amazon.ca/Maximum-Boost-Designing-Installing-Turbocharger/dp/0837601606 1 Quote Link to comment
builte Posted December 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Thank you I'll definitely look into it Quote Link to comment
builte Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 My E brake is disengaged and the truck will move backwards but not forward quick and easy fix I'm stranded at work and that the worst place to be on the weekend 😂 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Rolls backwards but won't roll forwards? Something, maybe a brake part (cross fingers it's that and not in the transmission) has come off and is jamming one of the shoes and acting like a sprague clutch. Raise the rear end and try to spin the tires. The one that won't turn forward is the one to take the drum off and look. 1 Quote Link to comment
builte Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 I doubt it's the transmission I had the E brake engaged and when I desingaged it this morning all the tension in the lever was gone but I will raise both the back tires up tomorrow morning I have someone coming to get me now Quote Link to comment
builte Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 And I guess I should that it will move forward it's just fighting back cause the rear tires aren't moving Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I've had a transmission that was stuck in reverse. It would back up but any forward gears, the transmission was locked solid. 1 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 A couple weeks ago after driving in the ice/snow my Frontier would not go into reverse or park. Parked it in the shop overnight and the problem cured itself. I suspect some ice got lodged in the linkage. May be possible part of your e-brake cable is frozen. Just an idea. 1 Quote Link to comment

It did snow when I came into work yesterday morning and the roads were muddy as hell could be that because it's below freezing this morning Quote Link to comment
