@Mogman yea I pulled the plug on the pan and you would have thought I was draining the radiator. Appears they may have topped it with oil after the fact as there is no other oil mix in overflow tank or radiator but I think the damage is done. As the rest of the oil drained out there was some...

@TOBASH Pulled the oil filter and drain plug and it was full of anti freeze. Almost looked like clean green antifreeze at first, then some cleaner oil, then some clumpy stuff. I'm guessing oil cooler or head gasket or GP filled it with antifreeze. Think I need to lick my wounds on this one...

@TOBASH Ill give it a shot and see what I can do. How much oil do you typically put in each cylinder? I ordered a borescope to have a look around also. Going to drop the oil and have a look at it, oil on dipstick looks new. There's nothing that would point to a lock up so im surprised, but...

Put a wrench on the spoke and couldn't budge it. I'm afraid it may be seized. Now I own a 6,000 lb paper weight. Anyone got an tricks to free it up?? Anyone had any luck freeing one up? I've bought 4 non runners from GP in the past and this is the first seized one, bummer was not expecting...

Ill give that a try in the am. Looked and didn't see a center bolt on front pully but did notice the spokes so good to know. Yes engine is completely intact with no missing intake manifold parts, intake horn, injectors, glow plugs, ect. Even looking a the underside and topside would suggest...

Another update, not reading any resistance from 74 to ground but some other issues may have come to light.... With no PCB attached, batts are junk so I set my jump pack up for 24v, hooked up a power probe and manually activated the signal wire to the solenoid. I pulled off the inspection...

I'm referring to the ignition wire 74A as the "trigger". Yes I can connect the batteries without PCB connected. Batteries are soft so not sure ill get it turned over but with PCB plugged in and I touch 74A back to the solenoid I get a spark and seems like its stuck. Again 74A is hot all the...

Here is where I'm at: 1. Pulled 74A off starter solenoid and checked for continuity between ground and at PCB plug end now no continuity, good. Touched 74A back on solenoid and I have continuity. There does not appear to be any burnt wires or excessive heat. 2. Checked continuity between...

@Mogman Ill check what i have for ohms but based on the spark and melted battery terminal id say its more than 2.5 ohm. I tried just touching the terminals to the battery, lots of sparks and no starter noise. cant leave them on as it will probably catch fire. Thinking of disconnecting 74 from...

@TOBASH thanks for your response. Bit to unfold but helpful for bypassing. Although I still have a shorting issue... As I suspected the other KDS I pulled this morning has no continuity between Pin E and Pin I on the box or any pin for that matter. I also just checked each pin on the plug...

Believe I have chased down the problem but wanted to get some input. I have been working my way through an electrical short on a M1114 I just purchased. Went to hook batteries up an had some arching/flames at the terminals. Started doing some continuity testing between ground and positive in...

I did notice my new t stat was slightly longer ZZ4x4 like maybe a civi version. (Bought from Napa) Ordering a Humvee one now. What is proper orientation? I put mine in the way I took it out but may have been wrong all along. I will get my fan switch off and test in water like mentioned. And...

Thehummerguy it's funny how temperamental these are for such a built machine. I'm a few posts away from starting a 4bt build thread.

ZZ4x4. I deffenetly have a failed something since I am overheating and fan does not turn on ever. When I unplug the TDM with the truck overheating the fan slides 1/4 forward and roars. Plugging the TDM back in when it's still hot disengages the fan. I just need to figure out why and where the...

T stat is new. Cap holds pressure and dosnt leak when hot but I will replace. I'm going to get into it and overhaul the coolant system. Are cracked cylinders or head gaskets a huge issue on these 6.2 vs the 6.5 issues? I'm not seeing or smelling burnt coolant so hopefully it's not damaged. Fan...

Update. Ran up over 240. Pulled over while running fan was not on. Unplugged TDM and fan turned on. Limped home but temps never really came down. Ended up boiling off quite a bit of anti freeze. Got home cooled down and topped fluid back off (3 gallons) Had out today with fan unplugged and temps...

Going to order a TDM. It's been staying at around 219 will driving. I still can't hear or tell if the fan is ever coming on to keep it there or if the radiator is just doing its job and it's not getting hot enough for the fan

Took the switch apart and found the running/headlight side melted the plastic housing and glazed over the copper contacts that the switch pivots over. So when I turned on my lights, the contacts where sitting on plastic and not connecting. I ground down the plastic with a dermel to expose the...

Cleaned all the grounds and nothing works. It wasn't just head lights it's all lights that don't work. Switch on no power to lights. Black out side works no running or headlights

Brand new LEDs, switch is new. They were working fine but now I have no headlights. Markers, brake lights, directional a and black out all work. But no head lights. Do these switchs go bad often? Check all the connections and back of lights all good. Help its dark out here.
