Looking for help in the Kansas City area

[akexc]

I have an M51A2 dump that I'd like some help with. I think I have located all the online manuals for this thing, and in some cases they have been helpful.

However, I am working right now on the electrical system, and am not having a lot of luck.

I'd like to see if there is someone in the Kansas City area that has experience with these old trucks, particularly the electrical systems. I live outside Lawrence near Eudora.

I have a 9000lb lift in my shop and would be willing to trade time on that, or if needed would consider paying for help.

Let me know if you've been down this road and would be interested.

Thanks.

What's it doing ? Dead short you can't find ? If it is check the wiring by the horn alot I've found on the older 5 tons did this ( incl. both of mine ) .

Lots of stuff. At the moment, the first priority is the headlights. There is no wiring to the dimmer switch. I highly suspect the lights won't work without that being in the circuit.

I can't find any wires that are loose, and can't find anything in the manuals that tells me where the wiring would be coming from.
