In your diagram, which end is driving it and which is the load? I don't see that determined in that diagram. It is correct when it represents the smaller pulley suppling the power and the larger one as the load. As posted(by you), the diagram is incomplete.

My first concern with the added tensioner where it is is, the bearing is under much more load than it needs to be on the tension side. Then there are a few other things.

Here's a nifty link with some good info. http://www.techtransfer.com/resources/wiki/entry/726/#Idler Pulleys Click on "idler pullys"

So, we agree on the direction of rotation. A belt transmits power by pulling(tension), not pushing. I corrected your pic with slight explaination. Does this make sence?

I determined the direction of rotation from your picture(posted below with explaination). I may be wrong as I can't see all the drive accecories but with some arrows and explaination maybe we can figure this out for sure. First off I looked at the fan blabe in your picture. If the fan and...

Are you looking at the parts TM? The parts TM ends with -P

Did you check for gear mesh as outlined in the TM? If the bendix drive is bound, it could cause a run-on. Or, as you were thinking, a bad solenoid could be the issue.

Yup

The nato slave cable will still work as long as the front battery is not dead and useless(open celled) or will not take any charge at all. Just let it set for 5 min or so to charge the 2 batteries before starting.

These trucks were purpose built for the government/military to their specs. They(A2) were modified to the military's specs. They were never meant to be manufactured in compliance with civilian use/standards.

Many states do accept that sales tax was paid elsewhere. Usually they adjust for the tax rate. It is not GL's job to inform you of the law or advise you how to purchase. They will help you when you ask. Ignorance of the law, is no excuse.

I personally prefer to rewire the GP supply voltage to 12v. There are several reasons. I've covered them all in previous threads.

Do you see the same drop before the start up, as you had before the change? Function should not have changed but the over all load could have(slightly). I would not worry about it.

I would use the live chat line on the GL site for the correct info. I have purchased from a state that does not reciprocate with my state(tax wise) and they(GL live chat) emailed me the correct form to file prior to my auction ending. Your very welcome.

Just have to add, have you ever read the -10TM?

If you have free clean hydraulic fluid, sell it and buy diesel. It's worth double.

Personally, I prefer to maintain it as designed(same as other commercially used Cummins water pumps). That way, if I have a belt failure, I know all the fasteners are in good working order and the water pump surface is easily cleaned and lubed to reseal whenever needed. I was just pointing out...

If you knew the rules for the tax issues, you could have(before the auction ended) filled out a tax form on GL to avoid the issue.

Ideally a tensioner is installed on the "slack"side of a drive belt or chain. You have it on the "drive" side where tension always pulls it tight. This adds to the stress on your tensioner and mount.
