Check the windings with ah ohm meter with one probe grounded to the solenoid body, separate from the truck ground. You want to see if there might be a short in the windings. There should be infinite ohms, no continuity. If there is some, that means there is a short and pulling down the...
Try WD-40 instead. No ether, starting fluid. That "diode" that looks burnt is a resistor. From looking at the colored bands on it, it just might be a 100 ohm resistor. It got hot for some reason. Good luck.
You only need to grease two of the zerks, one on each u-joint. The other 2 are for ease of access if needed. They are all the same according to Wes Simpson. What I did was loosen the 4 bolts on each end that bolts to the flange of the trans or transfer case one end at a time and move the...

I've seen those before but never considered them. I wonder if you could take the zerk fitting out and use that in the hole instead of pushing the ball in. I can see why you would need a rag handy! Thanks for the reply. I'll try that. It would sure beat taking each end of the driveshaft off!
Greased one u-joint on the trans to transfer case driveshaft of my M923A2. Is there any special way to do this? How does the military do this in this driveshaft? I can't get my grease gun with small tip to line up with the fitting. Is taking each end off the only way? Gotta be an easier...
The water pump weep hole is on the underside of the water pump snout where the fan bolts. There is a small hole there that when the water pump seal goes bad, it will leak and tell you it's time to replace the pump. If it continues to leak, it will cause the pump shaft bearing to go bad then...
