Sorry, I didn't see you post. If your cliam is correct then it could be my valve. Truthfully im considering going to a viscous clutch as well.

Yeah, I know, I just wanted to try and catch the truck doing it while I was under the hood. Which of course, it didnt want to any more. Besides, I pulled into an apartment complex and suddenly all the young woman decided to walk their dogs at the same time. So that's cool. But any ways, iv...

I shall try this, tomorrow. Thank you.

Oh no no my friend, I know that sound. I'm a chronic gauge watcher. So the fan cutting on is never a surprise. What it does is, attempt to engage the fan, which it does but only for a moment. Fan turns on then off again. Or it will do a half hearted attempt. I.E. the annoying hissing stops but...

I did go through the wires this past weekend. I found that switch wire 458A was not fully seated. Fixed that, then started through the -10 and 20-1 for everything related to cooling. The TM wanted me to bring the truck up to operating temperature to test resistance of the switch. In that case...

Yes I'm aware of that, but none the less thank you. I let the truck cool down to about 180° give or take. Then drove it home with no issue. Which is exactly what happened last time. I suspect, perhaps the cadillac valve is over heating. After shut down it was rather warm. Be advised "rather...

Hello, everyone. Iv noticed my trucks cadillac valve will start cutting in and out sporadically. I can drive it for a little while and everything is fine. Then the fan clutch trys to engage and then stops. Over and over agian it tries. As it's failing to decide to engage or not the temperature...

Iv gone through the alternator and protective control box trouble shooting sections. I can't complete the full trouble shooting for the alternator because I don't have a regulator. Nor can I do the troubleshooting for the PCB because I don't have one. Apparently I have an ESSV if I remember...

Thank you, I'm currently reading the 20-1, but haven't gotten that far yet. I'm not putting the new regulator on until I'm sure everything else is okay.

Thank you for you help Mogman, but this has already cost me big dineros. I'm pretty sure I know what happened and no I don't want to talk about it. So this is were I'm at. Iv got a new regulator on the way. Now I need to check the generator, protective control box and charging circuit. Briefly...

Yea, I know. I'm going to try and drive it to the store real quick. I just pulled the regulator out. I think she's done, internet shopping here I come.

Cool, still got things to do today. Just planned on driving the hmmwv today but I'm back in my ford. Iv disconnected the batteries already. I haven't messed with it yet, but this ignition sensor 5A, I assume isolates the regulator out of the circuit and allow me to drive the truck the 45 feet...

I could have bent it but couldn't be bothered. Call me strange. But it doesn't matter, I pulled the truck out of the garage. Noticed smock coming from under the hood. My regulator was on fire. Now the truck is sitting in the yard and I don't know how I'm going to get it back in with out driving...

Okay im back, sorry been busy. Used the 50 ton press and a special service tool at work and the drive shaft went back in, like a month ago. So far iv done filters and oil, pulled the mats out and deep cleaned the interior. Going to replace all the mats in the front. Still looking for a new...

The bushing is worn. I had just realized the metal ring is the step up to the bearing. The vise, wood block and hammer combo isn't working. So It's going to work with me tomorrow, big red press time.
