This is the resistor. Take the wire off the right side and bolt it to the firewall connector if it goes bad. Did you find the wire going to the head? That head light ground won't support cranking the engine long. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

I had bad connections there a while back and went nuts doing correct crimp and shrink wrap. I don't like to do that stuff 2x. I think the diode does the charging system...not 100% on that. The resistor is the big twin cylinder thing you took off the firewall. They do work...but if they fail it...

Take the output wire off the resistor and hook it up to the small end of the firewall 12 volt connection. That resistor fail and give the glows 24 volts plus they do get very hot. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Looking at the second Pic changes things. I didn't know you had the resistor hooked up still. Most get bypassed. I'll take pic. In a minute Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Ok you hit the only thing I can think of at smoke at the back of the engine with good batteries. The main ground to the block should be right off the firewall 24 volt connections to a intake stud on the rear of the engine. You either have a bad connection or a bad cable. Repair that and see what...

Could absolutely to a heim joint...just cut it down a smidge more to make threads. I haven't had one pitted before since there's only power steering fluid in there...the output seal you could run stones in to hone it...the input are to small. Really shouldn't need to hone the output though since...

Input shaft hooks to the brake pedal. They can be all over the place on length. The eyelit on that end needs cut off to get that shaft out of the rear of the booster...there's 2 lip style seal that seal that side of the booster. They are on that shaft. Then the eyelit gets welded back on...add a...

Glad you found where it's coming from. Sounds like a mess. I have kits for those but being a civi and a 87 I'm not sure about sizes. I have one good booster that I'd have to dig out to see what the output piston size is though. I've seen several diameters of those. The input shaft length is...

Oh ok didn't know you put new springs on already. If it's real bad I'd do air bags and call it quits. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Curious what your rear ride height is now. I had to do rear springs on one of mine after adding about 500 lbs to the rear. The other one has no top and bounces like a basketball going down the road. The one I put springs on sits right at 36 inches ground to wheel well. It rides perfectly with no...

Ok so it's leaking so bad you can't tell where it's from. Fluid under the hood. The booster shouldn't leak unless the brake pedal is being pressed. Fluid flows through the booster freely with no pedal applied. If it doesn't leak in park with no pedal it points to the output piston seal in the...

Just gotta ask what do you mean by leaking. Power steering fluid drives the booster, can leak inside the cab at your feet or in between the master and booster. There's the hoses and power steering pump. Does it get low on power steering fluid you have to fill up every day? If you can't find a...

My guess is you have more than one problem. It should not shut off when it's cold...the IP has a cold up idle circuit that should work. I have one that works very well and 2 that don't. I never looked into why as they all run and stay running when first started. I'd like to point to a low...

Just saw this. I did a momentary push switch in the cig lighter. Hook to the second wire to get glows. The third does the wait light. I took this out of a 1008 cab I have, and it was wired to the third wire...I did the same, but it did not turn on the relay but it did turn on the wait light..so...

How long are you holding them on? Cold start with 10 to 15 seconds should be enough at that temp. Could be you do have some glows that are not working. With that relay goin nuts who knows how often they turn on or for how long without you knowing it. Have you checked the fuel filter yet? or...

Didn't know that!! Next time.

Makes sense to need something to off load the tank out of the truck when you get there. Possibly a winch mounted in the bed and a ramp? ...a long ramp with those loading rollers that package systems use? Tank full shouldn't weigh much more than a thousand. Could make a tank mount similar to...

That's a really nice looking bumper!! I will look them up and see if they do a kit style that needs welded together. Be nice to get it without the d ring mounts could pop holes in it and use the stock ones, but that's just me. Glad you're getting it done. The towing plug you disconnected has...

That is a nice setup! Do you have a LMTV to pull it with? I thought those trailers had some form of air brakes? Not sure. That fuel tank looks like a 200 gallon? I'd hook straps to it or mount it to a metal pallet so you can pop it in the bed of the truck you're going to pull it with. Did...

Typically I go for a bushing kit added on to the regular steels seals and friction...you don't need any stages or upgrades for this truck. That being said I do usually get the red line friction with the kolene steels...doesn't cost much more for them....for me it's just preference. I wouldn't...
