    Detroit locker

    Its a differential lock. Both rear wheels spin when you loose traction. As compared to an open differential that only one tire spins when you loose traction.

    Thats exactly what happened. And when they welded together the motor started and thats when it stayed on.

    My 1008 and its problems

    bshupe- what happened was not enough amperage to turn the starter fast enough. Therefore the solenoid welded its contacts until it was 1 piece. there was a large load on the starter and not enough amperage. I think its something like low amperage and high voltage causes alot of heat. I might...

    Differences between tilt column and non tilt

    Tried to install the column and ran into a problem. The ignition rod is about 1 inch longer on the tilt so my ignition harness will not bolt up properly. Is this a common problem? I think it is an older column because it doesnt have the hi-beam switch ( i was going to install a floor mount).

    My 1008 and its problems

    Got the truck running in tip top shape, All i needed was new batteries. The batteries I got were no good and autozone replaced them and the truck started right up. Glow plugs work, headlights, interior lights, heater. good to go. Just need to clean up some wiring and work on the steering column.

    My 1008 and its problems

    I dont beleive it was the starter relay, i think it was due to lack of volts or a bad ground. I did do the doghead though. Balancer is on order! (not into rebuilding motors)

    My 1008 and its problems

    Fried my new starter yesterday. Truck was running for 5 min and couldnt hear the starter wizzing away. Hopefully just the solenoid. I must have a bad ground because it was cranking slow causing hi amps low volts to starter.

    My 1008 and its problems

    There is a ground from gen 1 to the block. Am i going to need a specialized balancer for this truck or a civilian style?

    My 1008 and its problems

    My 1008 and its problems

    YOUR THE MAN WARTHOG! I saw that jumper and it really confused me!

    My 1008 and its problems

    There is really only the 2 wires that are missing, i dont think i need the whole block. The wiring diagrams for lights do not show the origin of power. they show a wire going to the back and a wire going to the front lights.

    My 1008 and its problems

    Can someone tell me where power originates for the headlights? I am going to run a fused power wire to bypass the busted fuse block. Does power begin at the service light switch?

    My 1008 and its problems

    Does anyone think I will have a problem bypassing the fuse block and just installing a fuse inline?
