    license plate location

    Most states want it at least 12 inches above the ground. Other than that, just make sure it is clearly visible and securely attached in a horizontal position. By horizontal I mean that you need it level and turned on it's side or mouted diagonally.

    STARTER RELAYS

    I almost forgot. Sometimes the relay sticks and keeps the starter going. This has fried a few starters. If the starter keeps going pull the plug from this relay.

    STARTER RELAYS

    The starting system needs 24 volts to trigger the starter. The relay takes the 12 volt pos from the stock ignition switch and uses it to trigger the relay in question. This then supplies 24 volts to the starter. Does this make sense?

    STARTER RELAYS

    I am sure the cheaper one has an extra terminal for an normally closed positon and it opens then the relay is tripped. Using it should not hurt anything. The side we use in the cucv ignition is the normally open and it closes when it is tripped. By open I mean that the conductive path is not...

    Brake operation

    I just saw that you may not be using a military truck. I would think you still have a valve before the gladhand.

    Brake operation

    Did you turn the valve on on the service brake side of your truck? It should be just before the 90 elbow that connects to the yellow gladhand.

    Ignition switch

    I think you are seeing the dimmer switch for the headlights. The ignition switch is higher on the column and the rod is in a position that prohibits someone from being able to grab it to start the truck. If you crack open the outer shell of the upper part of the column you would find the rod...

    RE: maint tent Rizzo, Where did you get and how much. I think General Jims wants something like $3000 but they did not have any. If any of the info is a trade secret then disregard.

    M1028 checking in

    If he is changing over to a 12 volt system why not just wire the relay out of the system. If it is all 12 volt now then it would not be needed. Anyone done this before?
