As far as the pressure sensor. Search the forum for Owens Export Service. I picked up several of these sensors for relatively few dollars. Steve has a boatload (I think literally). Phone is 818-772-0806. I replaced the sensors in my trucks the first time I replaced the fuel filter. A very...

Alternators and Belts and Pulleys, oh my! A squeaky belt is not necessarily indication of a loose belt. It could be a worn belt, or pulleys, or (heaven forbid) both! Check your pulley's too! I strongly recommend using a belt tension gauge when setting the tension on the belts. I have yet...

Lot's of Charging System Questions ... WOW, lot's of questions. Some simple answers, but please spend some time searching the forum. I think you will gain a much better understanding if you do. Search for Gen2 relay (and search variants like Generator 2, alternator 2, etc) for your relay...

Diagnosing Charging and Discharging issues ... Good idea. Another consideration is that you are likely reducing the life of the battery in question significantly. You'll have to perform the cost/benefit analysis on this for yourself. If you really want to learn the electrical system in...

Thanks skysix, I was watching to see how your upgrade turned out. I had a sneaking suspicion that the bridge rectifier would need to be changed out for a higher amperage unit. If you get the part number for the rectifier please do post. I would like to know if it is the part from the 27SI...

Would that be extra current? Or would the change bring the system up to design current for the lamps? If design current, then the life expectancy would be as designed. MTBF would be as expected. Or, am I missing something? Thanks ...

Suggestion: Check the voltage across the terminals in each battery separately with engine running and dash voltmeter in the red. Report back what you find please.

Would you be able to share pictures of these fuses? Thank you ...

Finally got around to replacing the following in my M1008A1: 1) Radiator - Spectra Premium/Cooling Depot CU850. Nice piece but made in China. 4 core copper/brass product. I had to trim the extra collar around the low coolant sensor to get it to fit. But once done, fit nicely and works...

A flare nut wrench also works well. They provide purchase on more of the hex. A good set is invaluable when working on vehicles, so I recommend getting one. If that happens, I recommend removing the line and re-torquing the injector. 50 ft. lbs. is the specification. You will need a 30 mm...

Accessory Position and Wiring Suggestions Search the forum on this. Plenty of information on accessory position. To test your truck, push in on the key and carefully rotate counter clockwise. I am fairly confident these all came with the accessory position available, as part numbers...

Maximum Time for Key in "RUN" position Check the TM's under diagnostic procedures. 2 minutes maximum when performing tests. CAUTION Do not leave key in “RUN” position for more than 2 minutes for any electrical system test. Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to glow plugs.

:funny:

The parking and turn signal switch wiring can cause a few interesting behaviors. CJ, the behavior you are describing could be the result of a burned out bulb, but also check the socket that the bulb goes into. The ground in these sockets is a known weak link. Also, the wiring to the socket...

The rear ends in these trucks have a locker in them. It is my understanding that up to 1/4 turn of the drive shaft is "normal". That clunk you are hearing is likely to be the slack in the locker. I would advise searching in this forum and on the web on this topic. Lot's of great information...

The procedure in the -20 TM is very straightforward. Attach a vacuum pump to the lower nib on the vacuum valve. A vacuum gauge to the upper (transmission) nib. Pull a 20 inch vacuum, rotate the throttle until the stop screw contacts the J-33043 gauge block (detailed image in the TM). Rotate...

Vaccum Valve Adjustment I got me one of these here thingy's: http://www.handsontools.com/assets/images/j-33043.jpg for a great buy. I was just about to make one when I found one at a really good price (about 1/3 of what I'd seen them go for). New and unused in original packaging. At that...

Hood ornament. Different (and really sweet) bumpers. And, couldn't tell too well from the pics, but civi seats maybe? Civilian badging. Camo looks to be the correct NATO pattern. Right now I am leaning towards Warthogs view, civi unit acquired and converted specifically for the Army (it...

Couldn't you use a remote starter switch to energize the relay? Just a thought to make life a little easier.:mrgreen:
