Got it hooked up now, with a supposedly good replacement 60 psi sender. Gauge is pegged at 60 psi during idle. Also Tried a newer style Clark Bros gauge and it reads 0 all the time with it , but I accidentally dropped that gauge on the concrete floor in my shop, so I guess there's a chance I...

I'm evidently not the first one to mess with it. The rubber receptacles on original gauge aren't there. Looks like the new replacement has ribbed receptacle on wire from sending unit (on right side if looking at the front). This appears to be the same case with other gauges based on the wiring...

Truck came with a malfunctioning gauge, or sending unit, still troubleshooting. When I removed the plugs from the original gauge, I did not annotate which wire was on left (zero) side if looking at face, and which was right. I don't want to hurt the gauge. by hooking up 24v to the wrong...

I just wanted to clarify that the resistance chart in the TM is ohms, correct? Not Kohms or Mohms. I accidentally touched the hot wire to the gauge threaded stud while the lights were on, and I think it fried the gauge. I ordered a new one, and it pegged high and won't move now. I tried...

Yes and yes

+1 for the cooling system pressure test. I had trans fluid in my coolant, no coolant in the trans fluid. Not sure how much pressure the trans fluid pump has compared to oil pump. If the radiator ends up having an oil, there's probably enough wiggle room for you to make a bypass. And if the...

Compression problem? That's interesting. I find it hard to believe it wouldn't start with that much ether and the starter didn't sound too bad.

Exactly how much water did it eat? Any knocks or odd sounds? How long did it run with water inhibiting combustion ?

Yet another reason not to live in Commiefornia.

I have heard of guys having good luck with protectoseal type butyl rubber window sealer. I think it's similar to what the original dynomat was.

Put a voltmeter at the wiper motor and I'd bet one motor is getting more voltage than the other.

What kind of knock? Timing knock? Is that the only thing you did while it was apart? White smoke could be coolant.

Bring this back to the top. A quick google search brought me here. 10 angry sledge swings later, my lunette is free on my 1953 M105 trailer. Thanks again to this site for saving me a long of frustration!

Thanks for making these. Now I wish I wouldn't have passed up the set of FMTV wheels with 395s a few months ago.
