The problem with a disc, is connecting to the center WITHOUT a rigid lever arm, means that it will need to be buried completely with a channel down to the disc center. Even then that is no guarantee. since it can pivot where you attach to it, it may push up the soil above the pivot(path of...

And that is the question, how much pull do you need???

Ok, if the transmission powers up, press the up and down arrows together to enter diagnostic mode. The display will flash D1 then two sets of numbers and repeate this sequence. Write these down and note if the mode light is lit(indicates a active fault). press the mode button to step thru the...

Well thats weird. I suspect if it were a pressure issue it would have issue engaging in 1st and mode, but since it engages in 1st and NOT in mode, this almost sounds like a programming issue… your gear range drops to 5 when you select mode right?

Sure you were getting a complete circuit thru the coil? Getting them to energize when not fully installed is not always straightforward…

Well the charging backwards is one issue, but this almost sounds like the batteries were not installed correctly. Define “tested as ok”. Voltage, or voltage under load. Do they pass a CCA test? Not ok untill it holds a load with acceptable volt drop. as mentioned, check connections...

Hmmm. Engages in 1st, but not in mode... thats weird as the signal comes from the same place. first off, how are you determining that it is locked or not? The center dif valve is in the transfer. The signal for it as well as output speed sensor run thru a cannon plug on the front side of...

What do the aluminum tags say?

The anchor can be the hardest part... that is one reason it is best to not let it get too dug in before you figure out how to lock down the slipping wheel. The shallower the hole the lower the force required to pull your truck out...

Checking codes? Anytime power is applied...

Well thats good news, sounds like everything is still functional with proper voltage applied. Based on your symptoms I suspect you will find a voltage drop with load, so you will have to figure out which, and loaded voltage tests at battery and power panel bolt heads will tell that tale. I...

The Throttle Position Sensor input plays a big roll in how the transmission responds IRT up and downshifts. If it is not inputting proper info about how you are commanding the pedal(desire to accelerate or decelerate), all the trans can do is wait till a hi or low RPM is reached to up or...

The key, is to stop the spin before it digs in, which can happen very quickly. If you look at just about any pic of one of these stuck when stuck, one corner is way down(thats the tire that dug in in AWD), which raises the opposite corner, and allows the torque to escape from that axle Which...

That sounds normal. Remember the voltage you are seeing may be the result of a bad/high resistance connection or weak/bad batteries I mentioned earlier, which could be effecting how the controllers are operating… this is a common failure on these trucks, and the first one I had on mine. Turn...

Well if the transmission browned out, or is not receiving proper power, it would not give you a neutral start contact, so no crank(aux start and starter solenoid). on the starter there is a short lead that runs from the solenoid to the side of the motor housing. that is what is powering the...

No, too many other things I want to get done. Still need to figure out wheel speed Sensors…

The aux start solenoid provides the power to the starter solenoid. If it were stuck on, the solenoid would be powered and the starter would probably be engaged, cranking the engine. what does it say on the batteries, and how many do you have? 4 is way more than the truck needs and the little...

First off, K11 keeps the alternator offline untill 15 PSI of oil pressure is reached. The starter should be done cranking by then… the starter solenoid does 2 things, it engages the bendix AND it has high current contacts to power the starter motor. if it is spinning without being engaged, I...

From Cat… they included most of the 3116 engine service info in the A0 manual, but I have not found much for the 3126. I also have not been looking for it specifically though…

Naw, you take a pan put some diesel and a little gas in it, light it and slide it under the engine. It either warms the engine enough to start, or the whole thing catches fire and burns to the rims… Either way your problem is solved:) Havn't been to Drum in a long time. Was stationed at...
