Grant, The master light switch gets it's power thru the control box directly from the batteries so it isn't looking good there. Power comes into the control box on wire 81A to the engine connector on pin E, links thru the box and comes out on the body connector on pin F and then over to the...
Let's back up a second with the troubleshooting. Does your truck have one of the well known-to-fail Chinese keyswitches in it? If it does change it out first and see what happens. Next I would check the voltage on the main starter lug first to make sure it's getting that far. From there...
How hard did you search?

I had one of my brake calipers come lose and it would clunk when I was stopping. Since he didn't say what vehicle he was running I wonder if this could be the old driveline Ebrake banging? It's near enough to the Tcase. And yes, there are still a number of those old doggies out there running...
All of this is located in the back of the TM 9 2320 280-20-3 manual. If you haven't already downloaded them you should!
Now the REAL QUESTION here is why is the +24V power to the voltmater labeled 567A when it's simply another lead coming off of the 27 line?
Found this in my files today as I was looking for old info on radios. I remember back in high school going into Canal Street in New York and seeing shops stacked floor to high celing with this stuff. Sure do miss those days. All we have left is Fair Radio today and even they're a shadow of...
The Commercial and Government Entity Code, or CAGE Code, is a unique identifier assigned to suppliers to various government or defense agencies, as well as to government agencies themselves and various organizations. CAGE codes provide a standardized method of identifying a given facility at a...
Brownells sells bottles of bluing agents that will chemically stain different metals different colors. Usually the depth of the color is due to the time the agent is left on the metal. Birchwood Casey is another company that offers chemicals to do this.
search "metals bluing" and you'll find...
BAD DATA HERE! THE CORRECT NUMBER FOR THE MR GASKET THERMOSTAT IS 4367. This is their 2.5", 180 degree thermostat.

With the warmer summer months here now I wanted to post this information on the thermostat I just installed. I had the front end pulled apart to replace the fan clutch...
My suggestion would be to find a multimeter with a "peak hold" function and connect it to your headlight wiring, either #17 or #18, (91 is ground) and then turn on the headlights. This will read the peak surge voltage as they get powered up. See if it exceeds 30 volts.
I've been running...
At one time I had a weird noise that was cause by the upper bolt on the left front shock tower being loose. Again, it wasn't every time I stepped on the brake. Torqued it to spec and the noise went away.
Just curious, how you grounded your tach? Did you go from one of the tach mounting screws to the body or just jumpered it to the neg lead (black) coming up to the tach?
You can buy sheet buna-n rubber at McMaster-Carr. https://www.mcmaster.com/rubber-sheets/
It's available at most industrial supply places; Grainger, MSC, Zoro etc.
Standard Army HMMWVs had the duckbill on the bottom of the air filter housing to drain any water that got into the air intake from getting into the emgine, Marine vehicles with fording kits had the blank off plug because the fording intake was at the top of the windshield and the likelyhood of...
