Amazing footage. Amazing crew survived!

First of all, you have a kickass truck so this don’t affect you! 😉 Secondly, Uncle Sam will do as he does. There is no predicting. I doubt sales in the USA will significantly be diminished, but I am not Carnac The Magnificent.

This thread has gone off topic.

If your transmission shift does not have a “P” / Park gear position, then you have a three speed. If you need to ask such a basic question then perhaps these are not the vehicles or the repairs you should undertake until you read a few TM/technical manuals.

I’m surprised by all the accents in all the other places in the USA. I’m pretty happy that we don’t speak with any accent here in Brooklyn.

Mine also never had armor. 👍

When you drain oil, it is not a precise activity. Oil pools all over.

Oil change without changing filter first means you’re mixing old and new. I usually flush with extra oil BUT that is me being compulsive and you don’t really need to.

In a pinch, any nut can be converted to locknut with a hammer and a chisel. In a pinch any distorted thread locknut can be reused with a hammer & chisel too.

I find those people to be arrogant thieves. YMMV

You are buying what was essentially a Rolls-Royce priced vehicle at fire-sale prices. Some are dumpster fires but most are easily salvaged. When you’re buying new cars, a percentage are lemons. This is not much different. Some were driven hard and put to bed wet. Some were properly maintained...

My schematics show an external LED that you can mount anywhere. You can also disconnect the “wait light” from the dashboard system and connect to my box’ designed LED wires. Use Packard Connectors from my box to the stock “wait light” wires. Just make sure you get the polarity correct as LED’s...

Agreed about that being a Prestolite. I have several that I opened before creating this thread. Prestolite has robust solenoids that can be reused for a DIY project. Self tapping sheet steel screws will close it nicely. Drill the top hole larger than the bottom so the screws act like lag screws...

Sounds like you have a three speed transmission. If you forget to place tranny in neutral, she won’t start. You will curse and think something is wrong. Drive in H and NOT HL because HL is for sandy muddy slippery surfaces.

Happy you did this! Good on ya’! The LED I included in the diagrams is to show if the glow plugs are functioning. If all 8 are dead, my LED won’t light BUT the dashboard “Wait Light”/LED will. Happy to see the relays you used will support 200 amps each. Where did you source them and are the...

still havent been able to source these units

You need to look up the specs on the transmission gears, transfer case gears, rear end gears and hub gears If you have 2.56 diff gears and all hubs are 1.92, then you just need to google 4L80e transmission gears and then google the transfer case gears in your rig. Then factor in 37” diameter...

Welcome and thanks for your service. TM technical manuals are on this site for free. FYI

CamO makes a flasher device for this area, so he knows it quite well. If he says it is rust… it is probably rust.

Ready Brake is a great thing for flat towing. I can’t speak highly enough about this gasket. It activates the brakes of the rear vehicle to make control much better.
