Found a new 24V starter. Where is a good place the find the relay?

I wonder why the starter will still turn the engine over very slow?

Put 2 new batteries in the truck this morning. Same thing happened. So I guess it must be the starter. Where would I find a new starter so I can get this thing running again and sell it. This was the last draw and I am tired of tinkering with this thing.

The starter stuck on my 1028. Before I could get it shut off, the battery post connector on the back battery melted in half. I put a new post connector on and jumped the truck. It started fine and I left it running for an hour. I tried starting it the next morning and the batteries were...

Dana 60, Dana 70, NP205, mechanical diesel. They all sound like really good reasons to own a vehicle for using hard.

Sounds like a long weekend. Do we own these vehicles so that we will have something to work on, or do we own them because they are really good vehicles underneath it all?

The 2 stroke detroits seemed like a really good idea. What happened to them, and why did the 2 stroke idea not catch on?

How do I remove a thread? Sorry if I made a mistake, just trying to find some info on installing a 12v-71 in a military truck. My father in law has a 12v-71 sitting in the shed just waiting to be used and I thought it would make a good combination.

I've had my 1028A2 for about 18 months now. Here is what I've done to it: Radiator, heater core, fuel pump, water pump, 2 new batteries, 2.5 inch lift front springs, firestone ride rite air bags in the back, shocks, 6 maxxis bighorn tires, EXTREMELY heavy flatbed, seat cover, manual glow plug...

Just checked in the deuce forum about installing a 12v-71 in a deuce. I was informed it would not fit. So, what about a 5 ton truck? I'm new to the larger than cucv military vehicles so any info would be great. I was thinking about building an offroad fire rig for my ranch here in the texas...

I just replaced my heater core the other day along with a new radiator. Both were from NAPA, and everything fit just fine with no installation problems. The new core makes plenty of heat, but it has only gotten down to 20 F here in the panhandle. I am curious to see how it works during a 0 F...

I just replaced my radiator last week with a new one from NAPA. It was real easy, and I did not have to look at the manual. The only hard part is getting the fan shroud off. The manual says you need to remove the fan to get it off, but I was able to remove the shroud without having to take...

So, are there any 3L80E transmissions floating around?

I've been having problems with my fast idle also. When I put 12 volts to the solenoid and push the rod in manually it will stay and keep the idle up. When I take the power off, the rod pops back out. I would assume the solenoid is bad.

What about the transmission in the military humvees. I think it is called a 3L80E. Would this be a 4L80E without the overdrive, but still have have a lockup torque converter?
