Great idea Brad. I have this type of project in the works. I mount my jerry can on the mudflaps so I have to suspend mine.

Does anyone have a source for this particular behind the cab platform? I have been looking all over and I am unable to find it. It typically has a bunch of magnets arranged in a circular fashion. I think it was originally used for a locator beacon of some sort. I have another project where I...

Is your fuel shut off valve lever pointed towards the front of your truck? Your fuel solenoid could be bad. Fuel filter plugged?

Hi Al, great minds think alike:-) I'm going to tear into the unit to figure out why she failed. Either a sticky vavle or the electrical unit is bad. I'll post pics of my dissection. Sounds like I'm back in biology class;-)

Just aired up my flat tire on my GLI. I'll be there:-)

Well after 8 hours of work, turns out I have a bad/fautly ABS Solenoid Valve unit. I replaced the unit and now she self checks and the light shut off. I did a write up in my M925A1 build thread.

ABS Troubleshooting...talk about testing patience After the battery issue was solved, I turned my attention to that blasted ABS Light on the dash. As mentioned previously, the light is always on. This indicates a faulty ABS system and the truck should not be driven over 40 MPH. To me, 40 MPH is...

Battery/No Start Issue Troubleshooting Today, top of the list was to figure out what was going on with my batteries. During my aformentioned GL inspection trips on this truck, I noticed the words "Always need jump" sharpied on the plastic envelope that houses the DRMO turn in slip. I figured...

Unless something comes up, I'll be there as well. Been troubleshooting my ABS on the 5 ton today. I'm MV'd out so I'll be bringing my VW.

I just got this truck a couple days ago. Looks like the front relay valve isn't doing it's thing. The yellow (rear relay valve) is doing it's self check as it's suppose to. Just found out my non-start issue was due to a bad ground connection on one of my batteries. I disconnected the harness...

OK here I am with tonights work. Initial power up, the Yellow relay valve does the 3 clicks. However the Blue relay (ECU Body) does not do the 3 clicks. The ABS light is still on. I am not blowing the 15A nor the 3A fuses. When I am back at the ECU, I put my hand on it and do feel it click when...

Just replaced the fuse with the correct 3 amp one. Light stays on but NOW the 3 clicks are no longer there....hmmm. The mystery deapens. I've got a spare ECU that I'm going to just plug the electrical part into. I'll see if that works. If so then I'll hook up all the air lines etc.

Anyway to verify the ECU toast without the Haldex diagnostic Computer thing? When turning on the power I do get the initial 3 clicks from the ECU but not the second set that normally causes the ABS light to turn off. I also found I have a bad battery. I think it may have a dead cell. I still get...

Well, I'm in the middle of troubleshooting. I am now under the dash checking connections. I decided to check the fuses. The 15 amp looked good then my attention turned towards the Y off the starter switch and the 30 AMP fuse. The 30 AMP fuse looks good...WAIT....30 AMP FUSE?!?!?! Ahh, crud I at...

I am joining this thread because my newest truck has a steady ABS Light. When switching on the batteries, I hear the initial 3 clicks from the rear of the truck. But I do not hear the second series of 3 clicks where the ABS light shuts off. I'm going to try and look at the fuses tomorrow.

Hey Brad, yes that's the oil filter canister. I use Lucas in all my MV's. I started using Lucas because the lack of driving my truck. The Lucas stuff is so sticky and tacking that it'll stick to everything. Thus reducing dry starts. I have notice it really quiets the diesel down and reduces the...

Oil Change I spent today unloading my tools and parts out of the chase vehicle and the M925A1. First order of business was an oil change. So nothing too exciting to report on today. Before starting on this project, I wanted to make sure she's mechanically sound. No sense starting an extensive...

WA State Collector Vehicle Plates! After I got home from my M925A1, I marched straight down to our County Office and got my M923 plated. I've been waiting for this day since I brought the truck home. I had to wait for him to turn 30 years old to qualify for Collector Plates. My total out of...
