So, as it turns out, my handles were not worn out, the rod from the lock lever to the door handle was disconnected. My handles were pretty fugly so I would have changed them out ultimately anyway. On the bright side, I now know what the clanky noise is that I hear in both doors when I go around...

So, as I said, I have no idea why the original starter and auxiliary starter solenoid where changed out, but I'm pretty sure this is the cause of the failure of the replacement aux solenoid.

My truck is also 119K built 10/08 and has the composite bug catcher, that's about all it's good for anyway:)

Thanks, I know who to talk to if mine fails:) I also ordered the newer style dryer that MWME sells. Supposedly does a better job of drying the air. They have 10% off on everything on their site currently, so the new dryer was basically the same cost as the parts to service mine.

Thanks. Have you had the filters in place long enough to have figured out the lifespan of the desiccant?

Pretty sure I was reading a thread here on SS about a guy that had found a replacement for the air sensors that go bad in the MMDC's and was replacing them. I seem to remember that he thought they went bad from moisture and had installed some small inline air driers in the air lines that feed...

Like I say, guy had a list the “preventative maintenance” that was being done and I don’t know if it was all because he thought it needed it or not. On the bright side, the truck runs like a mule and it seems all the big stuff is mechanically sound. Door gaskets are supposed to deliver today...

I don’t know for sure if there was an issue with the original. It, along with the original starter, was in the truck when I test drove it months ago and it fired right up. The guy had a whole list of stuff he was replacing to assure it was a reliable truck/ Mechanically it is, but there are some...

I was getting zero volts through the relay, and the click when it was triggered was pretty loud, so I was pretty sure it was engaging but bad. New part installed now and it fires right up. Now to either replace it with the proper military part and relegate this part to being an emergency spare...

Okay, the contactor is bad. Shorting across it and it fires right up.

All of that wiring is new, just done before we left Maryland, but given how many things I have had to redo, that doesn't mean there isn't an issue there. The problem started just after returning home and it was something that was just a once in a while thing. Press the starter button, nothing...

Not in the parts spread sheet and a search didn’t return any useful results, so curious if anyone has a Napa part # for the starter solenoid? My truck has a C7, not sure if the starter and solenoid are the same as 3116/3126 motors. Thanks

I got them out. Used my knipex parallel jaw pliers to grab the pins and then rolled them back against the side of the bed like a cam to push them out.

I figured out the the pinout already this morning. I have Deutsch DT 4-pin connectors, so If i can't figure out how to get the pins out of this plug, I'll just change it out. Need to get this done so I can get on to figuring out where my power steering fluid is leaking from.

Yes, I’m permanently removing the troop seats and will be looking to rehome them.

Thanks, that's exactly how I thought it should work, but those pins will NOT budge. The one in the photo has been soaked in PB Blaster for a while now and it still won't budge.

Hey GD. Thanks for replying, don't know what I would do without you:) The wiring in the photo is at the plug on the dryer, the truck side of the harness is three black wires and a yellow. if the wiring was the same colors on both sides of the plug this would be easy. The whole plug basically...

Can someone explain how the farkin pins that block you from removing the troop seats release?

On my way home today, when it was actually pretty warm, my AC wasn't working. Did some snooping around and found this when I got home: I noticed when the cab was up yesterday to install my trucklite turn signals that the cab was pinching and pulling on the wires to the dryer. I rerouted them so...

Well, it seems the locksmiths in my area are A) crooks, B) not prepared to work on Trimark locks, or C) completely disinterested………so, I’m joining the 1022 club.
