    PulseTech accsessories?

    I use a 60 amp buck style converter in mine. Always good to have some reserve. I once called Pulsetech and their tech support was next to useless!

    M1123 brakes

    Make sure you put some lube on the back side (steel) of the pads or they'll squeal on you when you step on the brakes. I personally have always used Lubriplate white lithium grease but there are plenty of brands to chose from. BTW, the allen head in the caliper slide screws is a 7mm. Not a...

    2012 M1097A2 starter

    Welcome to the forum! Hopefully all your going to need is a new Bendix gear. Still a PITA to change but infinitely less than a complete starter or a flywheel. $25 vs a couple hundred.

    Crimp tool and mods for packard connectors

    The setting will vary depending on the wire gauge. Sacrifice a few cannectors and figure out what setting is good for the wire gauge you've got.

    Stuck Fan Clutch

    There is a rebuild kit but I don't think it consists of much more than a new fiction insert. When I did mine I found that the roller bearing that allows the shaft to move forward and backward was starting to pit and that was the cause of the problems I had. When I put everything back together...

    Electronic Speedometer Doodad

    They should mount directly onto your existing taillight buckets.

    Alternator? belts?

    If your alternator goes full bore it'll boil the electrolyte out of the batteries. Keep a close eye on the voltmeter and if it goes outside the green zone do not run the truck any longer than necessary. Regulators are usually available on Evay and relatively easy to replace. Make sure to blow...

    M997A2 Ambulance

    The ambulance resusitator pack lives on the left front of the body and the cables route around inside the body itself. At least that's the way thet are in my M996A1. The wires in the picture are the feed to the ambulance body power distribution panel.

    LED turn signal issues.

    Something I discovered working on a friends M151 was that all turn signal switched aren't wired the same way. When we put a new switch in it the indicator lamp wouldn't flash but everything else worked. After some experimentation we found the lamp socket was wired backwards which won't affect...

    You might try soaking the potting in acetone. It cuts almost anything.

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    This parts truck just showed up in a listing about: Introduction & warning in this forum. Isn't that the strap rack your looking for? You might PM the owner since he says he's going to scrap some of it.

    Thermostatic fan switch

    There's really no need to but either teflon tape or a good pipe sealant won't hurt it.
