    Looking to buy a truck - missing sensor? help needed

    At least you know the oil pump is good. Gotta be brave when buying a non runner. I would say 75 percent of the time it works out ok.

    Second fuel tank automatic switching.....

    Put the manual valve by the tanks and just get out and switch it over when you need to. I have the manual valves from m939 trucks.

    Odd voltage spike issue

    Add a new ground wire from the batts negative to a sanded spot on the main frame rail. Alt ground strap. Polarity box connections. Alt terminal connections. Could be a bad voltage regulator.

    Dealing with issues due to half-assed CTIS engineering.

    I have a few nos real spicer ones left and some nos valves. The midwest ones are china copies. The small hose that holds tire air isnt armored like the real ones.

    Wheel Alignment on a MTV 5 ton M1083A1P2

    If the truck drives straight and there’s nothing wrong with the steering components take the steering wheel off and re center it. If you need an alignment places that do fire engines can usually do it.

    Its hard to visually see sometimes but the radiator fins can get clogged up with dirt and debris sometimes a good pressure washing clears it out.

    Transmission Filter Inspection Finding

    If you take the line off the tcase that goes to the scav pump once the line is off you can unscrew a catch screen. Look there for debris.

    M1078 no crank blows fuse

    Maybe shorted trans tcm. Behind passenger kick panel. 3 plugs just unplug them

    CTIS - electrical smoke

    So you have a newer truck with data bus and you plugged in an older style controller and burned out the bus resistors. One under the panel and one in the engine bay drivers side. I have the correct compatible controller if you need one.

    Front brakes m1084

    Check the front blue gladhand cover make sure its venting free. If the truck has been sitting for some time you can also have a stuck brake pad. Usually on the rears though

    M1079 start button won't trigger the starter.

    So you have never seen it run? If no trans display someone probably cooked the trans tcm trying to jump the truck with dead batts. I have a replacement here. If its 7 year old fuel and fluids I would drain and replace it all. Flush back the fuel lines and probably replace the lines. Definitely...
