Now I would need help/advice on the differentials. Since I couldn’t get the drain plug out, I removed the cover on the front. The diff was completely empty, like it was drained. The cover was still stuck to the RTV, and the drain plug couldn’t be removed, HOW did the diff get THAT empty...
Sooo, a few more troubles going on.
While searching for Serpentine Belt, I found one on Fleabay with 3 pictures. The first had a government issued belt, with military tags and other marking for $42 +S&H. The other two pictures were from an aftermarket belt. The markings on them were PK82490...
Hey mow***com,
I just read your thread about your M1123 project. I too have a newly purchased '99 M1123, so that made me look at your data plate pic and compare... Your serial number is only 8 trucks younger than mine. 187408 vs 187416.
Pretty cool rig, and like you I also had charging and...
Thanks for the info...
I didn't even get that far. Removed the batteries, disconnected the canon-plug under the hood, next to the washer fluid container. Then wanted to take off the nut on the ignition stud of the regulator. Voila, the wire came lose in my hand.
The culprit that caused the...
Not sure if my last post made it to you in time, there is 0 volts to the IGN stud with the ignition switch in the run or with the engine running.
Since the fan is running at different speeds in hi and low (and sounds strong) I am suspecting the relay working. This weekend I will remove the...
Major correction!!!
I took the measurement from the smallest stud. I must be tired from a long day. Duh. The 2nd smallest stud has 0 Volts... Hmmm, now I am needing to find out why the lack of power. So sorry if I mislead anyone.
I should have been more clear I believe, each battery has 12.4, for a total 24.6 at the batteries... So I am thinking there is a broken link somewhere, but I don't yet understand the charging system enough to know where each lines go, and where fuses or shunts are that could interrupt half the...
Hey @Mogman,
good news. bad news situation. I only have 12.4 volts at that terminal. That is with engine off and running, so I am hoping it may be a quick fix and no need to purchase a new regulator... Do you have an idea where to look next for the other battery voltage?
Thanks in...
Hey all,
as time goes on, one finds things inop on a fresh bought rig. Same here. My voltmeter was not registering anything, so I dug in behind the instrument cluster. Found the wire to the meter broken. And after fixing that, the needle pointed (as it should) in the yellow. However, it does...
Good point. Thanks! I'll also do more inspections before I get to it.
Aaahw, you're taking all the fun away. 😢😭🤯
Yea, I got it. Thanks for keeping me on track.
I can only imagine. One of my neighbors drove a semi for a long time, besides being a rodeo team roping guy, a rancher, and a few other occupations. Many stories...
Hey all,
I was wondering, in order to get the engine bay washed/pressure washed, what are the areas I need to pay attention to or completely avoid? I'm guessing most systems will be somewhat "waterproof" since it once had the deep water fording kit, but I wanted to know if you have...
They were absolutely the best people I've met in a long time, friendly, respectful, calm. And hard working from what I gathered during the hand, foot and sign language interactions. Nothing negative to say. I wished some Americans I know would take a mental note...
Thanks. I really don't ever want to find myself in a situation where is is wiser to go through 30" of water than to go around...
Do I need to cap anything off, are there any open ports because of them taking the parts?
Yea, I priced this one between $50 and $75 depending on availability and source. I couldn't find the fording version in the parts manual. Any idea on NSN? Just in case I'll consider. but all the other fording items seem to be removed, possibly.
EDIT:
Actually found it in the part 2 parts manual...
