I have been doing some research trying to find testing information and how they work. Maybe my search FU isn't good as I really can't find anything. So I downloaded the patents and took a look.
My focus will be on the EESS , 3S and the TSU.
The issues I have is the wait light flashes 7...
They are real testers just testing the battery differently. They measure the internal resistance and calculate the CCA. For the most part they work... only have an issue when the battery heats up internally and the internal resistance goes up. Both a resistance load tester and the ones that...
Thanks! I believe I did... I have going over it and looking for issues. I could have done much worse. Its mostly there and only missing a few odds and ends. I believe the items missing may have been lazy mechanic not putting back all items. I looked at the tires closer and only one is 14 years...
Got the transmission working. Whatever was in line was on the coil wire of the relay was the issue.
Looks like one of the hoses for the power steering is leaking.
I think I found the reason the one of the master cylinder res was empty. I think I have a leaky front caliper. Does anybody know...
What should be the normal charging voltage for the batteries? I think my is running a little high. 14.6 on and 14.5 on the other and 29.1 across both batteries. The gauge needle is pointing just into the red.
So... Lets not go on about the either and IDI engines. please...
And back to what I asked... What manual has the wiring diagram for the M1152A1? This will be very helpful.
I know how to test glow plug but I do not know how to test the start box... Is there any theory of operations...
OK.... Not too sure how either will harm is small amounts. But hey what do I know....
NOW it the glow plugs are working that's a no go. Then again what do I know.
Not here to argue,.
I have a question... what manual has the wiring diagram for an M1152A1? Also what manual is good for parts? There is an A/C duct that isn't all there (I think)
Things that I have done to this point.
The glow plugs are not working. The truck will start with a small shot of either and runs like a top.
Diesel is leaking on one of the lines on the top right side engine. I think this is the supply line.
The truck had no brakes! Brake light was lite...
I am going to start this thread to have one place I can document the events of my adventures. I will be asking questions and having links to have one place to look. Maybe this will also help someone who also wants to take the plunge!
And this thread would be useless without pictures. I will...
Yes, yes it is... I really want to document this with pictures and video but, well... put a wrench in my hand and the camera is out of mind! I knew the truck would run and I had to move it from where the shipper dropped it. I'll start a new thread with pictures and will up load video and, well...
IT RUNS!!!! and purrs!!! just moved it in the driveway and goes back and forth... Stopping... well that's going to need some work.
The rear res in the master cylinder is empty... got to get some DOT 5 and find the leak. Also there's a diesel leak on top the engine... will need to fix that. but...
The truck is here!!! Now will it start? Flashing wait light... Nope ... but sound good turning over. getting fuel by the white smoke out the tail pipe... No heat... Time for some troubleshooting.
And oh man is it dirty...
I have a bottle of replacement smoke... Only issue is there are no instructions how to reinstall the smoke . I hear is it next to impossible to reinstall the smoke.
Guess I didn't update this thread... I went with uship and truck is in route... However.... it can't get here from there. First THE 5 was closed for a blizzard north of Redding CA... So the transportation dude waited that out. Now the truck is north of that... THE 5 is closed because of a wrong...
