    M1165A1 Headlights Burning Out

    Hi, The headlights on my M1165A1 have not worked since I've owned it. They burnout within minutes if I attempt to use them.

    Multimeter Readings

    Hi, Have a M1165A1 with a 400 amp Niehoff alternator. Been trying to fix a bouncing volt gauge needle. My question is about taking readings with a multimeter at the voltage regulator and battery's. Should the readings be pretty steady? Currently the readings fluctuate around +/- 1 or 2 volts. Thanks

    Potential Transmission Issue

    Hi, I have a 1985 M998 with potential transmission issues. I say potential because maybe it is fine as I have limit experience with these trucks. My main complaint is shifting is very weak to the point not even sure if it is shifting. I installed a tachometer to better monitor the shifts. It...
