I am glad I took the truck to professionals for the rear diff. I eyeballed the backlash and set it to 0.001, spec is 0.006 - 0.007. Now I feel much better about driving it.
Next step is the generator controller, new longer drive shaft, and then all things steering.

The cluster may be the issue. The lights on the cluster are the troubleshooting indicator of the system. When the left (right) turn indicator on the cluster stays on solid there is a bulb out on the left (right) side.
1. Do the side marker lights work? They are an integral part of the turn signal system.

Hey. That wire goes to the brake prportional valve on the crossmember below the fan shroud. Connector is at the edge of the frame where the transmission lines cross.
The driver’s side indicates ALPHA COMPANY, 3rd platoon, 3rd vehicle. The passenger side seems to indicate 145th Infantry but it seems to be incomplete. On the passenger side of mine it has 1 I 299 (First Infantry Division, 299 Brigade Support Battalion). Driver’s side has B 7. BRAVO COMPANY...

Sir, I am in the process of replicating b4thundr’s controller. I have not been successful at reaching him as of yet. I have a controller and programming cable on order. I have the connectors. I could really use the wiring diagram. I can probably figure out the programming once I have the diagram...
I had to take the truck to a local 4wd shop to have the backlash reset in the rear differential. When I pulled the rear diff cover off earlier last year it was full of a water and oil sludge. I pulled the diff entirely apart, I do not have the skills or the equipment to set the backlash. I did...
Connectors with pins, wedgelocks, and boots came in today. I have also ordered 16 guage pins for the actuator wires. The pin removal tool and the crimper have also arrived. I have ordered the controller and the interface cable from the Netherlands. Waiting for tracking info.
Happy new year!
I have ordered the connectors, boots, wire, and terminal crimpers to build the harness. I will order the controller and the programming cable (USB) on Monday.
