RedBlok: I know I have only had my M929A2 for a little over a month but we had a real joyful 4 hours unloading it off the trailer the day of arrival. The driver told me they just hooked up a jumper box to it and it fired right up. Not the case here with the truck blocking one lane of the county...

Jarhead1086: glad you got yours figured out. That would have been a joy to figure out. I hate trying to get up under there and stand on the step at the same time. Rough. I have decided it's gonna get a cheap horn button mounted on the side of the column. Put the column back in and touched that...

As for the floats. Couldn't find any on MV websites and looked at all the classifieds on here. Found brass ones at Summit for 6 something each for a mustang and the plastic ones at jeephut.com for $3.20 each for '55 - '86 CJs. Looks like the same thing as what's in my 5 ton. Plastic is what I...

These pics saved me. I tried a while back getting my right tank to work and couldn't figure it out. Was following lines today just hoping to see a wet spot after shooting a little air into the tank and noticed the return line and fuel line from my right tank weren't above each other on the...

Glassk: I thought only those currently in the military were to do that. I'm just an old washed up number now.

Okay, the new gauge and tank switch came today. Changed the gauge and same 5-6v coming from gauge. So apparently that's the norm and not FULL battery voltage. My switch was bad so that was a good purchase. So I decide its time to pull the senders since both tanks read empty. Both floats were...

Well, I have tried following them directions and I can only get that bearing flange to move about 1/4". As I tap one side the other goes back in the jacket. Seems like the bearing may be seized to the gearshaft. Any ideas from here? I really don't want to damage anything considering I have no...

M16ty: Sorry about your cat. Not a good way to go. You have made me check close before firing up the old beast. Don't want to see poor PG get done in that way.

MyothersanM1: That looks like a nice helper. Probably gets in them places you can't so easy. No help here on what the purpose of the diode is. Just more trouble. Juanprado: I think I read where when the diode goes your horn will blow with out shutting off until you unhook it. Hard to tell if...

MyothersanM1: Thank you very much for that. I had to print it so I could read the sideways pdf but well worth it. I believe I understand what they are saying. I will tear into that tomorrow as I have time. I figure some heavy yet flexible wire with rubberized insulation should do the trick and I...

If this pic loads it is my helper tracing wires.

Right. Got the 24v at the solenoid. I put in op that it was wire 25 but it could be 26. Regardless it's the one that isn't the same as the wire number for the ground at the column. It is switched (only on when battery switch is on) and not always on like some I have read about are, but the...

Okay, now the horn. I looked all over the search function to find lots of posts on dueces but no breakdown for 5 tons. Traced my lack of horn to the wire in the shaft. Got 24v at the solenoid positive side. (wire 25) Unplugged the wire from the box at the bottom of the steering column and the...

So, I couldn't talk the cat into doing the work for me. She just climbs all over the truck in distraction. I do want to thank all who contributed to this thread. It is fixed and one more thing off of the list. Getting that assy out of the door was a bit nerveracking but eventually it just fell...

Got ahold of GP and they told me it would be 6 - 7 weeks as they are doing a lot of titles. I lost two weeks as they couldn't find the email where I scanned and sent the forms I filled out that they emailed me for putting in the year of the vehicle. Confirmed this time that they received them so...

Well, I ordered a new tank selector switch and gauge. Let's see how that goes. Hope to learn something from using the voltmeter after the gauge install and will share the results and voltage from the gauge to the sending unit. With the reputation these trucks have on fuel gauges not working, it...

So the thread is closed. Is Carnac still doing this? Mine also has a bunch of letters in the "date of delivery" line.

So, first I want to thank you for such clear details with all the pics. Made it look so easy that I think I will let my cat do that part for me. Now, not to ask for too much, but, any help with details on how the heck to get that assembly out of the door so I can turn my cat loose on this...

So you're saying it should be 24v and not the 5v I get going to wire 28 (left tank)? So is this a faulty guage? I know half of the switch isn't working with the continuity test as I flipped the switch.
