Make sure you get long enough leads to reach or just extend them with pieces of insulated wire

Put the red(hot) clip to the side of the solenoid that goes hot when you first turn the key on( the side that goes to the glow plug), then put the black ground clip to a good ground such as the base of the solenoid where it bolts to the truck. Sounds like your solenoid may be bouncing in and out...

You could run test leads to the glow plug solenoid and Watch the meter while you drive.

Does the glow plug light come on when the lights dim?

First thing I would do is make sure its got good fuel with some additive and a new fuel filter

The original owner is the ONLY one that can with an SF-97!!!

I believe most states would require the SF-97 be changed into a title by the original owner,not you. It's not transferable ever that I know of. In other words don't let him hand you the SF-97 and think you're OK.

Hmmmmm, interesting idea!!

I believe it was policy at military installations to drain trucks they no longer were going to use to prevent leakage into the soil.

Yes, but I believe it was mainly because the ole muddy missisip flooded them all and they wouldn't run.

A great piece of equipment! Merry Christmas, Artisan!

They probably won't be cheap either, they sold for around 10k in new but flooded condition ( of course they knew that but washed them and never told us). They had mud in the starters and wouldn't run but other than that and the rusty caliper bolts ,bad batteries they were never used. They cost...

Nope, only about 20 experimental ones built, no tm's either. I just took my caliper bolts apart, buffed them clean on the wire wheel and greased them

It's both, and available from Pulse Tech,mfg of the Solargizer and probably some other battery places too

Depends on what you want. The older units are smaller, 2 would definitely be better, the big newer panels will do 4 batteries by themselves. They won't by any means put out so much to be hard on a battery. In other words it's not like putting on a shop charger turned up to max. But for a vehicle...

Jimmy, Call me sometime at 402-729-7900, the manual is on the way to me(800 pages) so too big to copy reasonably but I can look up info and copy that. Remember tho, mine is a 1987 on the old C cab, cab over Ford chassis, not sure what differences there may be. Paul

Do you think 1998 will be the same as my 1987? I live within 50 miles of Landoll corp so I can chk with them,too. I need the main manuals for mine too.

I just got my 1987 de-icer home and it has a wiring diagram for the part that blows hot air to take snow and frost off the wings. Maybe this is what you need???

Civi trucks generally can't be aired up in reverse because of one way check valves in the air tanks. They are usually aired up by going into the wet tank(first tank back from the air compressor) or going into the line that is the outlet from the compressor. Google a tool called a Brake Buddy...
