Unfortunately I have neuropathy (non diabetic) in my feet and have limited feeling in them. Probably had a blister that got infected that I couldn't feel and couldn't see because it was under a callous. I have had feet problems due to it in the past and was the reason I retired early. Any more...

Update Time... Truck stayed at the shop for awhile. Luckily they had space to store it while the tires were ordered and delivered. Unfortunately during that time I managed to get a bone infection in my big toe that moved pretty quickly. End result was getting my big toe amputated to save the...

Good points. The one thing I couldn't find was an index of Steel Soldiers vendors.and what the sell. Is their one? I like supporting the hobby. Blair

I guess that would have been great information to know when I started looking... I would have bought them. Blair

So I ended going with these guys. http://www.csmarmytires.com/ From Alabama. They have been great to deal with and hopefully be delivered by the end of the week. I bought Goodyear 395's that are NOS with a 2011 DOT date. Tires are unused and have been stored indoors. 325 a tire plus the ride. Blair

Thanks for that. It was nice to see it driving. Tires are next up. I cant find a DOT date on the ones I have on the truck...

Anybody have any recommendations for lmtv tires in California? Blair

Pretty good week thus far. Ordered a C solenoid, pressure switch, turbine speed sensor and some gaskets. Installed them and hooked up the harness and got N N on the controller. Guys reinstalled everything and finally took it for a spin around the block. Seemed to work OK and look forward to...

Thanks for that. Oddly, I don't have a code for it. However the 5788 code states that the turbine and speed sensors need to be checked. Blair

Turbine speed sensor. Pulled the pan and dropped the control module and found that. Odd plastic is damaged but not the metal. A problem none the less. Finally figuring out how to post pics... Blair

I have been going through that. Thank you. Learning how to read the schematics... The other odd thing is that the 4414 code states that it shouldn't start in neutral with this code if I am understanding it correctly. Truck starts up with no problem.

I actually have the the pinout guide NDT posted. Just trying to wrap my brain around all the information.

Alrighty... So I went down and spent some time at the shop today poking around the truck with my multimeter and computer. New code 4474, 5788 (both relating to the C solenoid) able to be cleared but return as soon as the truck is started and upon further investigation correct Ohm reading is...

I have looked around and couldn't find a clear answer. What does the polarity box do? Blair

Thats what will happen today. Should of inspected it closer the first time... Blair

Little update...It was user error on my part not holding the mode button long enough to clear the codes from Friday. Was able to clear the original codes but they were replaced with two additional codes. Turbine speed code and a grounding fault on a solenoid. My guess is who ever installed the...

Thanks for all the information. I will go back down tomorrow and mess with it. I guess the odd part was the fact we couldn't clear the codes with the computer. Computer recognizes the transmission but kind of just sits their. The adventure continues... Blair

I have downloaded it and went through it. Keypad doesnt seem to clear the codes. Was hoping to start from zero if we could get rid of the old codes , now that we have all the solenoids within spec ohm wise. Blair

A quick update...Finally got the truck into the shop with the idea to drop the pan and get to the solenoids. G solenoid was throwing a code and when checked proper ohms were not found. So today when the mechanic dropped the pan he found a part of the wiring harness had been crushed when the pan...

Thanks to everybody for their input. Personally I think a lot of issues that people have with this series of trucks is the unfamiliarity of the chassis compared to trucks of the past. Saw the same polarization in people when new models of fire apparatus that were being introduced. Most issues...
