Too bad your back in Jersey, I grew up there and would love to visit, only not right now! Morristown, Madison, Florham Park.

The only components in the fan system are the fan clutch, time delay relay, Cadillac valve, temp sensor on the crossover pipe and the switch on the injector pump. During nomal operation below 185 degrees the Cadillac valve is energized passing power steering fluid to the fan clutch to disengage...

When the START switch is toggled the #54 wire to the top of the IP powers up and this opens the solenoid and allows fuel to flow and the engine to run. Removing that power closes the solenoid and this shuts off fuel flow and the engine stops. There is no air flow control on a diesel engine to...

If you want to kill all power to your truck for either security purposes or something else you need to break not only the ground line but the 12v tap also. Failing to break the 12v line leaves the "high side" battery connected and as stated some things may still power up. Breaking both leads...

Cole Hersee makes a DPST switch that can disconnect both batteries independently. This could be used to disconnect the main ground and then the 12v tap that powers the TCM. Would this solve your problem?

Most of the checks mentioned are called out in the -20 TM (TM 9 2320-280-20 -x) manual and they're written for a relative novice to follow. You mention that you aren't that mechanically inclined and that's who the TMs are meant for. Follow them during your course of troubleshooting and post...

Zepher11, John N. just posted this in the previous posting. Let's try not to duplicate things, it confuses people. Hope to see you there.

There's always a fair sized crew that comes up from the Southland. See if you can coordinate your schedules.

We're receiving plenty of calls regarding the upcoming Camp Plymouth but there seems to be some confusion about it that I'd like to clear up. For those of you looking to attend for the first time this April it's important to know that this event is first and foremost a CAMPOUT. Currently because...

My advice is to do it once but do it right. Shortcuts will come back and bite you in the ass 99% of the time. Lower the windshield, clean the contacts and coat them with anti-oxidant grease. Drive on...............

The pump is one I found at a local flea market for $10 but it isn't anything special and any small vacuum pump will work. In this application you could use a small air pump and just plumb the intake to the bottle rather than the air outlet. You can find small pumps in 24 volts too. The real...

It's worth remembering that not all of us are driving the newer trucks and the older models didn't include check valves. For a new member this could be a point of confusion. The other thing is that pressurizing the fuel system above a certain point is potentially harmful. Overpressurizing old...

My Dad served on a US destroyer during WWII in the Pacific and one of his favorite stories was about the jeep they had onboard that they would use when they hit the beach. Heaven only knows where you'd keep a Jeep on a Fletcher class destroyer! "Unauthorized acquisition" was the name of the...

Keep in mind that the M101 generator trailers all had an M37 tank in them and I'd bet 99% of them just go along for the ride and aren't used. You might see if you could talk a trailer owner out of one!

The sidewalls on these tires is really soft and the tires coming out of NTC there at Fort Irwin are notorious for desert thorn punctures. The tires look great and have plenty of tread left on them but unless the puncture is fixed correctly they'll continue to leak. The other issue is how long...

There isn't really any way to "tighten up" the Dzus fasteners. You select the correct length fastener for the materials your holding together. The wire that attaches to the body does needs to be tightly mounted and they will loosen up over time. See this video...

DocBreckon, It didn't back in 2017......................

The AN3102 and the MS3102 connectors are the same. These are threaded bulkhead connectors. The mating cable connectors are MS3106 or AN3106. The letter designates its environmental spec, sealed, standard, etc. The 20 is a size reference ie 20mm. The last 17F is the pin size and configuration...

Sometimes it helps to reverse the battery cables and backflush the starter. This will loosen any build up of free electrons that have bound themselves to the binding posts.
