A few things I have learned that might help others. If you don't have anything besides an engine hoist to pick up the can, you can't put it on the ground. The hoist legs are in the way. Jack stands at the outter corners of the stand will allow most engine hoist to roll out from underneath...

You are supposed to have about 2" of pedal travel before you get any pressure build up. If you are getting more, then you probably need to adjust your brake shoes. The -20 manual calls it a "minor adjustment and it is real easy. Jack up an axle, spin a tire and using an 11/16" wrench on the...

Solid state flasher box or the older style? If solid state, I will send you the best in my opinion wiring diagram for knowing which pin goes to what wire on systems with the solid state box and newer arm.

Mark, As I'm sure you two know. The brake like power comes from the 3 lever and then goes back. I have had several 3 levers that don't work on that circuit. Try connecting the leads at the brake switch before you condemn the switch.

What kind of truck? M1009 I would check the shoe adjustment, rear brake hose, proportioning valve under the radiator and the rear wheel cylinders for not being stuck or frozen up. M1008, M1028, M1010 or M1031 I would suggest the above plus the load sensing valve under the bed. There is also...

A lot of people have added a very true statement to their signature lines. "If it is rubber replace it and if it is electrical, clean it. It sounds like the ground attached to the parking brake pedal could be bad, you could have dirty fuse holders and a wire could be shorting to ground...

You mention that this is your first vehicle to do repairs on. You also seem to be jumping all over the place on what you are trying and finding. Then your truck has what seems to be a pretty complex alternative fuel system on it. I am guessing that you bought it that way or had somebody do...

Civilian trucks don't have the same sensor.

I just looked. Same here with the reducer between the head and the sensor. Look on your pull out part and remove it.

The ones I have done required about 30-45 seconds total of cranking. I would crank 5 seconds or so, let it sit for a few minutes and repeat. I really do think your on/off solenoid might be not working correctly though based on what you have written.

No, that winch won't be bothered at all by all that salt water. My question is do the head lights really help under water?

Put a rubber glove over the lid of the paint gun cup. Hold a rag over the nozzle and pull the trigger. That will inflate the glove, mix the paint and give you a good indication of how much paint you have used as the glove deflates as you go. No paint will drip out either. I painted a M1010 a...

The video of your light going off and on along with your 13.6-14.4 range with the engine running. Say voltage regulator to me . However, did you check the big plug at the firewall, check the ground strap for GEN 1, all the connections on all 3 firewall connections areas plus your battery...

I put a York OBA set up on my M715 in 2005. It aired up tires and ran air tools, some. However, by the time you get a new, yes new because a used York is going to die sooner or later, compressor, new pulley and clutch, air tanks, copper line to connect them together, make mounts, find a 4...

Sounds like you have it figured out. Get a spin on fuel filter and base, check all your fuel lines all the way to the tank and see if all is well again.

I agree about the wheel back spacing being wrong. That is probably your rub. The next option is the leaf spring bushings are so bad the axle is sliding side to side on you. If the steering wheel and the direction the tires are facing is changing relationship, stop driving the truck! I would...

The 4 CUCV trucks or engines I have gotten from the military all had Welman plugs in there. About 2 per engine have been swollen and very tough to remove. Many times people suggest putting in the 60G plugs because they are a better product that does not swell. That along with the above post...

Wildcard85, Try to check your speedometer and odometer with a gps or mile marker signs on the highway. Figure out if they are even close to accurate and then figure out which way they are off. You have to do that before you can figure accurate mileage. Then I would suggest you change your...

I guess I didn't phrase my post above very well. Yes, as mentioned several times in this thread and in many other threads. The relay does clunk on and off. While trying to get RED going with Colton, I just threw a pair of non matched batteries we had sitting around in there to try and make...

It also can be an indication that the injection pump is starting to die since the IP controls all fuel and timing for the engine. Mine had a very random putt putt pattern at idle before I swapped IP's.
