    M35A2 suddenly won't start...

    Hey all... just when I was finishing up on our M1008 truck (which had blown a head gasket...) now our deuce won't start, which is something we've never had a single issue with before in the last 6 years we've owned it. It usually starts right up almost as soon as you hit the start button. We...

    I posted this last night... but I posted it on the wrong thread :doh: ----------- Been kind of down the last couple days, but just wanted to post a quick update. We took the radiator to a repair shop today, they said they should have it fixed tomorrow [friday], so we'll see. I did pick up a...

    Did genesis auto parts go out of business or ?? The link doesn't work anymore, and even the main page of the site doesn't come up. Instead you get a "godaddy" advertising page, and its states "This domain name expired on 8/7/2017 and is pending renewal or deletion." With that said, anyone know...

    Yeah, this napa one has metal tanks, and now I actually would say the plastic tanks are better (so long as they don't crack like this other truck we've been using did), over the box store metal tanks, as these metal ones are flaking off alot of paint and are already starting to rust, and its...

    LoL Well... Here is my UPDATE: I finally figured out where a "mystery" fuel line coming off the fuel filter base which I had been looking at for a week thinking it was the drain... it was a rubber hose with what looked like a piece of brake line with fitting stuck in the end and hose...

    any reason not to put a temp sensor for a temperature gauge, in the same place as the idiot light temp sensor, except on the opposite head? EDIT: HA i got a good reason... there isn't any port there. I could have sworn I saw a plug there... oh well. I'll figure out somewhere to put it.

    AH ok , forgot all about the temp for the high idle ... So thats the passenger side head? ------------- EDIT: Just looked at it again, has to be the passenger's side head, as there is no place on the rear of drivers side Thanks again for the info! [thumbzup]

    Ok, updated my previous post about the temp sensor, now back to the alt wiring... Ok, I connected my digital multi-meter from the "3rd" red wire to the top buss bar (which I'm pretty sure is the 24v buss), and got nothing, no connection what so ever. So out of curiosity, I removed the cover...

    ok... its not what I thought it was.... don't mean to change the subject, but I have a temp sensor that I thought was the GP temp inhibit sensor/switch... but that is apparently the one in the block off plate adapter in the rear of the drivers head... Now I know the coolant temp idiot light...

    yeah good idea, easier than trying to trace them through the plastic. There is the 3 red wires that I'm holding in my hand, and then the red and white wires that go into the bladed plastic plug

    Thanks Ken! [thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup] That is basically what I was thinking, just wasn't 100% positive. Didn't want to connect it, and end up with the "magic smoke" when I hooked up the batteries or something. Hummm.... Ok, so the 3rd lead is not "standard issue"... I'll go back over to...
