    Where to get 4 bulb LED blackout tail lights?

    Better yet search the nsn. Found a seller letting them go for $7.50 each with free shipping. Jim

    Where to get 4 bulb LED blackout tail lights?

    Last pic shows the led on left and incandescent on right with covers on. First pic on previous post is just of the leds with no cover. I found the led on some bay for less than half where I could find it elsewhere with free shipping. Even less than half of other sellers on same site. The link is...

    Where to get 4 bulb LED blackout tail lights?

    Sure did. Thank you very much. Even though you answered my question completely I figured I would throw some pics on here that I just took to help anyone else with the same question. Again, thank you very much Swamp Donkey.

    Where to get 4 bulb LED blackout tail lights?

    Okay, I searched the search function several times with different key words to no avail. One of my tail lights on my recently acquired truck has a 4 bulb led for black out lights and the other is just the smaller single element bulb like a 12v (older)vehicle would use for the license plate...

    M929 mud flap laws

    Anyone know about this question for Ohio? One of mine is torn and I took both off and it sure looks nice with none. Jim

    M923a2 Battery issue

    RedBlok: I know I have only had my M929A2 for a little over a month but we had a real joyful 4 hours unloading it off the trailer the day of arrival. The driver told me they just hooked up a jumper box to it and it fired right up. Not the case here with the truck blocking one lane of the county...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    Jarhead1086: glad you got yours figured out. That would have been a joy to figure out. I hate trying to get up under there and stand on the step at the same time. Rough. I have decided it's gonna get a cheap horn button mounted on the side of the column. Put the column back in and touched that...

    Dual Tank Fuel Gauges Not Working

    As for the floats. Couldn't find any on MV websites and looked at all the classifieds on here. Found brass ones at Summit for 6 something each for a mustang and the plastic ones at jeephut.com for $3.20 each for '55 - '86 CJs. Looks like the same thing as what's in my 5 ton. Plastic is what I...

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    These pics saved me. I tried a while back getting my right tank to work and couldn't figure it out. Was following lines today just hoping to see a wet spot after shooting a little air into the tank and noticed the return line and fuel line from my right tank weren't above each other on the...

    Dual Tank Fuel Gauges Not Working

    Glassk: I thought only those currently in the military were to do that. I'm just an old washed up number now.

    Dual Tank Fuel Gauges Not Working

    Okay, the new gauge and tank switch came today. Changed the gauge and same 5-6v coming from gauge. So apparently that's the norm and not FULL battery voltage. My switch was bad so that was a good purchase. So I decide its time to pull the senders since both tanks read empty. Both floats were...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    Well, I have tried following them directions and I can only get that bearing flange to move about 1/4". As I tap one side the other goes back in the jacket. Seems like the bearing may be seized to the gearshaft. Any ideas from here? I really don't want to damage anything considering I have no...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    M16ty: Sorry about your cat. Not a good way to go. You have made me check close before firing up the old beast. Don't want to see poor PG get done in that way.

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    MyothersanM1: That looks like a nice helper. Probably gets in them places you can't so easy. No help here on what the purpose of the diode is. Just more trouble. Juanprado: I think I read where when the diode goes your horn will blow with out shutting off until you unhook it. Hard to tell if...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    MyothersanM1: Thank you very much for that. I had to print it so I could read the sideways pdf but well worth it. I believe I understand what they are saying. I will tear into that tomorrow as I have time. I figure some heavy yet flexible wire with rubberized insulation should do the trick and I...

    If this pic loads it is my helper tracing wires.

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    Right. Got the 24v at the solenoid. I put in op that it was wire 25 but it could be 26. Regardless it's the one that isn't the same as the wire number for the ground at the column. It is switched (only on when battery switch is on) and not always on like some I have read about are, but the...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    Okay, now the horn. I looked all over the search function to find lots of posts on dueces but no breakdown for 5 tons. Traced my lack of horn to the wire in the shaft. Got 24v at the solenoid positive side. (wire 25) Unplugged the wire from the box at the bottom of the steering column and the...
