    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    There is another / option heavy duty bracket (like 7/16 ? inch thick) that mounts below the exhaust to a boss on the engine block. Might look into that set up. Something is ?? out of round / balance. Might check for a cracked mounting cradle too. Shake, rattle and rip, CAMO REAR SUPPORT...

    Yes... the 571 is the control lead to turn on the WAIT LED. This is done at pin "E" cab harness to box. Internal CPU logic pulls this "low". Don't worry about it... UNLESS your connector is all wacked up. Another clue to BAD BOX.. Look it over good. Use a common sense approach, checking off...

    Leaning... LEANING..... WAIT when the bill comes for a good new set up, LOL. Check each glow plugs for 1.5 to 5 Ohms. Replace open ones first. Would like to know what you find on these "GROUNDS" before the magical ground kit. Check the ground behind the dash with doggy house off. Little...

    Wait light troubleshooting

    Not an expert here... But that could be normal as the certain alternators act that way. (which one do you have?) Did you ever check the glow plugs resistance... all 8 of them? I am not sure we are communicating well here. LED checks good, fiddling around, only 6 volts, then connects to...

    Fuel shut off solenoid exploded internally!?!

    Time for a new one. To investigate... peel back the plastic and look for the coil wires to have the enamel burnt off. Shorted winding/s is what we are looking for too. To check measure the resistance and verify against the book. Yep, that's got to go, CAMO If you need one, I have an old IP...

    Is that NOW QUOTE "when I connect to the the engine" Well.... What's that tell you? When you get the goofy 5 volts, where was the meter ground connected? This could be a clue? Don't wait...build it. Some owners have experienced "failed grounds" and swear by slapping on some wires...

    Wait light troubleshooting

    If your meter is grounded to engine and #27 has 5 Volts... need to figure that out IMO. Same as brake LED SOOOOO.... Wassss UP ⬆. Might want to check the Packard connectors and the crimps to wire inside. How about all the grounds. Everyone needs a ground kit ??? Time to get this fixed...

    Wait light troubleshooting

    Watch out using the flow chart troubleshooter. Portions were written around the old Protective Control Box PCB. Those"glow plug controllers" had bi-metal switches (hard contacts) and the TSU's are solid state (electronical) YEP that's what's in them. Those readings may / will be off if...

    What antenna do I need for 450MHz?

    There you go. Anyone with a Sitemaster should have this figured out.🤔 Run the plot and report back. The design is not a chop and tune to see what happens. It is a coaxial collinear stack of elements, sealed in the fiberglass radome whip. Won't be any tuning, but we have used them...

    What antenna do I need for 450MHz?

    420 to 450 MHz. VSQ/1 antennas all part of the same system. If you want the gain in this design range, IMO these are the ones. Going for a wide bandwidth is going to have reduced gain to the negative in most of the "military" models. That and the use of diplexer/s or splitters. Most...
