Warming up the buns on the Wiener mobile. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the morning.
Remember we are meeting at Reno and Sunnylane. Park in the lot on the SW corner. They will have us move into the street before the start.
There is a VIP breakfast at the church if anyone is interested.
You did not say which starter you have (had). The old style direct drive or the new style gear reduction. Different brackets for the different starters.
GM 15544950 - Starter Bolt
GM 14060613 - Starter Bracket to Block Bolt - M8 x 1.25 x 20 (hardware store)
GM 14028931 - Starter Bracket - old...
Fuse boxes are not grounded. The frame and cab are grounded to the battery and almost everything is then grounded to the cab. However you can add an addition ground box to the battery if needed.
It does sound something is screwy. He may have removed the lever and not put it back correctly. Is there any evidence the the lever has been removed? Scratches on the nut?
I would stop and the start from the beginning. Set the #1 cylinder at TDC, Check the crankshaft timing mark, remove the...
I was just thinking about this, If you split the firewall plug you kill all the power to inside the cab. Nothing will work. Go ahead and pull it apart, clean it with an old toothbrush and some electrical contact cleaner. Inspect for any corroded or broken tabs and put it back together.

Here is your first list of this to do.
Buy some good fuses. No cheap ones. You will be replacing them as they blow
We will be working our way backwards to find the cause. After each step try the headlight service switch
1 - disconnect the headlights
2 - disconnect the dimmer switch on top of...
With your limited skill set on electrical, it will take some time to work you thru the process but we can get it done.
Now to the issue.
Is you truck stock? Has the wiring been modified? Any additions added? Still 24v?
The blacklight switches are a military item. Used is the only option that I am aware of. The headlight switch is a standard part and can be found in just about any parts house.
Have you found the FREE technical manuals that have all the wiring diagrams in them? They are listed under the...
One that works. :mrgreen:
I have some bad ones that I always seem to pickup when I need one. I guess I should finally throw them away. I even have a dead Fluke.
Read the Headlight sticky (all of the stickies for that matter).

It could even be an issue with your horn that is causing the problem.

Is it just the wood on the bows broken? If you can just replace the wood, a green tarp with bungee straps works wonders.
If needed I have a bunch of bow corners you can have.
The sleeve just slides up and down. It is a precision fit part. Use a small screwdriver or an ice pick, insert into the groove and gently slide it up and down. If it doesn't move easily it may be gummed up. Use some carb cleaner and give it a squirt. repeat until it moves freely.
