Verify the ‘89 has the same type of fuse panel before you play. I have an ‘87, ‘88 and a ‘90. The ‘90 has a way different fuse panel than the others. They come apart the same, but if you are going to practice at least practice with similar parts.

I second the power bleeder suggestion. A garden sprayer can be made into one easily. Motive products makes a really good one as well. if you already have a power bleeder or have the Soldier B thing correct. Then you have air getting in between the rear seal of the master cylinder and the...

I am confused. What brake fluid bleeder are you opening that gives you compressed air? If you did everything perfect and had a perfect system. You could still have no pedal because of the master cylinder push rod adjustment or because your shoes need either a minor or major adjustment. M35...

A relay is just a switch remotely controlled through electricity. If you look at a CUCV battery wiring set up. No power is pulled from the front battery (Battery 1). It just has a negative lead going to ground and the positive going to the back battery (Battery 2). Basically, the batteries are...

Ohhhhhh....Hidden rust is a heart breaker.

Put an inch wide or so chalk mark across the tread. Drive straight for 100 yards or so. Get out and see if any chalk is left. Chalk in the middle means under inflated. Chalk on the edges mean too much psi. I haven’t done the chalk test yet because the mold flashing is still on the tread. Very...

No, H2 wheels. I still haven’t figured out a way to paint them flat black that I think will last through the first rainy drive.

Loop them. Otherwise no oil to the engine.

Tire stores, tire manufacturers and the government all say 3-5 years is all a tire should last. Of course, they want to sell new ones or act like a nanny. So consider 3-5 years a minimum independent of tread wear for tire life If run at proper inflation with a properly aligned suspension. That...

I gets spooky when you leave the fan on and turn off the engine. The light will slowly dim as the fan motor spins down. most of my Gen 1 lights have done this. But not all.

I have had the Cowdog on the road a little over 3 years now. 4 years ago when I bought the H2 wheels off Craigslist. They had BFG all terrain tires on them with reasonable tread. Except they were 2007 or date coded. I have needed new tires from the start but life kept eating the money needed to...

Think of it this way. The first owner had a budget in the trillions. They threw lots of money at hundreds if not thousands of people to figure out a way to diagnose, test and repair anything that could go wrong on your truck. Then they threw more money at people to make several thousands of...

Why the cross member mount square tubing? Mine bolted on without issues. What are your rear drive shaft angles now?

Get your batteries load tested. They should be 800 Cold Cranking Amps each. If below that. Replace. Next is all the connections of the 24 volt path from the batteries to the starter motor. Undo, clean, sand, tighten after inspection. Then you have your starter motor itself. If everything else...

Tire size. 9.00 means 9 inch tread width and 100% side wall ratio. So, the side wall is also 9inches. 9 + 9 for each sidewall plus the 20 inch rim means 38 inch tall tire. 11.00 x 20 should be 42 inches. 2600 rpm with 9.00 tires should have you indicating 56 mph. What are you indicating at...

I enjoy all the above sounds as well. I kind of also like the air control valve popping a release of air about 15 minutes after shut down. I hear “aren’t we going to play anymore today” when it does that.

A volt meter is much better than a magnet for voltage diagnostics. I suggest you read the electrical troubleshooting guide in the -20 manual. Then follow the steps exactly.

I was writing about the air compressor.

Maybe bad ignition switch or a switch that needs to be adjusted.

Pull the caps for the unloader valves off. The springs are probably broken. Mine were. I found some springs at a hardware store of about the same size and wire diameter. Been working great ever since.
