    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    When I received the truck I noticed that the fan would not move while the engine was not running. Checked It again today and it is the same, doesn't move.

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    I purchase the rebuilt kit for the air dryer last year and was going to rebuild the kit last fall but cold weather caught up with me. After I put the injectors in that is my next project along with a few new air lines. After that, drain and flush the transmission and refill with ATF.

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    You are the man, @Ronmar !!! Disconnected the oil sensor connector and jumped the connector going to the truck. The "Engine Oil Pressure" light on the dash came on along with the K11 LED light. I pushed the starter button and she came alive. Also tried the remote start by the front right side...

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    Okay. Before I cleaned the contacts on the Aux. stater relay, and with the power switch on, K11 and K26 were energizing and showing LED lights lit. Also the dash display showed "Engine Oil Pressure" in the top left corner, "Check Trans" upper middle, "Park Brake" top to the right of the check...

    LMTV Hitch Extension Kit installed!

    Sorry, I know I old but I must be missing something. Barn doors on the truck? I see a truck bed with the front drop down sides down and the rear drop down sides up, and a missing tailgate and hinges…or are my old eyes the problem or again, am I missing something? 🤪
