EDIT- Mogman below corrected me. All power to all devices goes through EESS/PCB. I reviewed schematics and he is correct so therefore I was wrong . Action is 100% on any truck with 200 or 400 amp alternator. M1167 should be able to power up lights without EESS. 60 amp units won’t be able to...

Yikes!

I posted how to make a cheap do it yourself start box after working with several other members on the design. I also sell those boxes as does another member. PM me if you wish to purchase one or just discuss the design. If you do it yourself, you’ll better understand the wiring for your...

? Start the truck, turn on the lights, check for voltage at the main headlights, then step on switch for high beams and tone them, then turn on the flasher to the right and check all the wires for intermittent voltage and then turn on the flasher to the left and check all the wires for...

Wait! John Deere is against self repair! You might void the warranty. rofl

Your PCB EESS might be failing. You are hearing the internal relays clicking You should either replace it with a unit you can make or contact me and I’ll sell you one. The DIY replacement units are more robust. Starting at post 51 you will see schematics and a parts list. I created this...

You’re quite welcome given I have no idea what your talking about. I guess you don’t like the word “deleted”??? And before I was a surgeon I put myself through school working as a mechanic and auto restoration specialist. And no matter who you are, nothing wrong with the advice to clean and...

Guys, I respect you all but the short answer is to replace batteries as a matched set to maintain optimum lifespan. Still, I look forward to watching as this debate rages on.

Many examples my doubting friend. The most extreme is loss of engine ground. When you operate the starter, hundreds of amps look for a way to escape. The thin wires to gauges and aftermarket projects and such now become the only available pathways. I suggest looking for more grounding issues...

A bad ground can force electricity through an alternate poor pathway. That causes smoke and fires.

This debate goes back and forth every 6 months or so. I like to know the actual harness works properly otherwise I fear fires. Bypass kits are great and I bought my M1025 already having one BUT I have spent literally hours cleaning all contacts. That effort helped fix many issues! The harness...

Mogman, you and your duravee are literally the only ones of us who can be pulled over for speeding. LOL

Maybe a rattle from the heat shield?

Who is the bad vendor/entity so we can all avoid him/her/it

MarkM’s items look awesome! Still, some of us are DIY so I will post the following… Several years ago on this HMMWV forum, someone posted diagrams and instructions on how to make a cheap military to civilian 24-12 Volt plug in converter. Elsewhere on the trailer forums, someone posted and had...
