Yup - as drmetalmiki said. Short the two wires, brake lights should come on and stay on. Likely new switch needed.

Usually the contacts are numbered....can you try getting a picture?

CAT dealer? Or http://radiatorgroup.com/sightglass.aspx ? http://www.superiorcooling.co/safety-sight-glass-assembly-for-coolant-level.html

That looks serious! Gives it that M3 White Half Track slant!

air operated or hydraulic brake light switch?

Driving with the engine at "normal" rpm instead of heading towards redline is very nice, indeed. My LDS is governed at 2500 rpm (should spin up to 2800; I guess the governor was set by a wise mechanic or motor pool SGT) and I am still too chicken to try what the actual top speed is. I feel that...

Many surplus dealers have military chains for little money - shipping adds to the price; they are heavy as you can imagine. I hope that your truck leaks enough oil for self-protection of the undercarriage when you drive it on winter roads! Mine was a Southern US truck and looks like it never...

No - that is the whole point of the air operated brake light switch. It replaces the switch on the hydraulic side. The hydraulically operated switch turned out to be a weak spot. If it cracks and breaks, you lose your brakes. That is why the military started replacing the hydraulic switch with a...

Now you need 4 sets of dual chains (tri-railers) and 2 singles and you are unstoppable!

"cold start system" refers to either the flame start (original, old) or the ether start system (retrofit) operated by the toggle switch to the left of the steering wheel on the dash. Oil viscosity is also important. 15W40 turns into molasses once temps drop below freezing. Takes quite a bit of...

Correct, although a **little** oil behind the square cover is not unusual. I would put the following on my to-do list: - order O-ring kit for the IP - make new gasket for shutoff cover from gasket material (easy). - check out oil supply and return hoses for the IP. If suspicious, take off and...

I am such a tool sometimes, but I don't know if anyone recommends me.

This bolt was conspicuously missing on my Deuce and, apparently, was treated as optional by many motor pool mechanics that did not want the aggravation....

Dispair not! You have help from some truly great Deuce whisperers! Your problem is imminently fixable.

I learned that I need to be very careful in diagnosing leaks on my multifuel. Clean the block, remove old trails of oil and start with a clean engine. Oftentimes the oil just pools and drips from a convenient low point but comes from somewhere else. Compressor: yes, a simple 4 bolt mount with...

I wholeheartedly agree! However, Tom's OD kit allows me to get scared with my LDS at lower rpm than you! I still don't know how fast it would run if I let it. I recommend that OD mod to anyone with a healthy, turned up and pyrometered multi.

You checked the rubber hose attached to the in tank pump? TM has a great troubleshoot decision tree for fuel system.

They are not "stock" but people have used the type of switch used for the air shift transfer case switch for air actuated lockers (ARB lockers). Makes for a clean, stock look. It also makes me want to duplicate that exact setup before I shy away for cost reasons, still drooling. If the truck...

Thanks, rusty. I found some reference here: http://thesensorconnection.com/content/thermocouple-wire-color-reference-chart-type-k-j-and-n-usa-and-international-iec-5843 However, at least to me it seems that if a probe is a certain type, e.g. a "K" probe, it should work with other "K" calibrated...

My NAPA carries CuNiFer brake lines. Even I can make double flares that work when using this material :-) I learned about the stuff on this site as well. Really cool when you can gently bend the brake lines by hand and they do not kink.
