Good day My shifting problem is that I only note one shift, meaning that the tranny doesn't ever down shift to the first gear; it skips the second gear; it never goes into third gear; or it shifts so smoothly that I can't feel it shift. Referring to my last question, what I meant is...

Hello again, I have a cucv that is having problem's shifting and the tm's say I need to check the transmision fluid pressure, one problem, I don't have a ste/ice tester nor am I interested in paying for one considering that the truck spends more time broken than running. So if anyone...

Yahoooooooo!!! I found the problem, it was very simple and it had to do with the fact that I was referring to th old wiring schematics in -20 tm. The schematic shows the voltage monitor wire connecting to the power side of the glow plug relay while it was supposed to connect to the output...

Good Day, To answer your first question, the voltage on the pink/black wire at the relay with the ignition switch on and the engine cold is 11.56 volts. I would also like to correct my statement that you quoted, what I was referring by the lower teminal was the main power feed to the glow...

hopes for a solution Hello, This may sound completely ignorant, but I read that certain Ford relay's (napa number gpr-109) can be used as a replacement. This relay has two signal wires, positive and negative, so the relay is not grounded. On a seperate note, the module has three led's to...

Hello, Summing up my gp system is simple, it has never worked properly. For the few times my cucv has run, I have used a bypass switch that connected the 12 volt terminal block to the lower terminal on the gp relay. Using the "wire color/key position" diagnostic from the tm 9-2320-289-20 I...

Hello again, I just wanted to inform you what the problem was, I really found it by pure luck, I went out to look for the splice near the 12v terminal board, and I saw a main alternator feed wire that was severed. It appears that the previous owners had replaced the fusible link and...

Hello, Regardless of how strange this may sound, I am planning to build a module from scratch. The reason for this is that it seems you can't get a replacement module unless you get one from army surplus and who knows what it has gone through or how old it is. Well, my electronic part's look-up...

Oh! I forgot. THe driver side alternator is an auto zone part number DL7157 and the passenger side alternator is (this is off of the alternator housing) 1105500 100a 6h06 12v. Thanks!

I performed the tests that you outlined and everything was as it should be. You said that running the truck with the alternator plug unplugged could damage the wiring harness. How could it damage it and hiw can I tell if it has happened and if it has happened, how do I repair it? You also said...

I am not completly sure what you mean, but if you are asking if the gen 1 light goes out while the engine is running and the alternator plug is unplugged, the answer is yes. If that is not what you mean , can you be a bit more specific . On another note, in the charging circuits wiring diagram...

Hello I thought I should mention that there is continuity between the 12v engine wiring harness block and the positive terminal board. As stated earlier any help , suggestions, and questions are greatly appreciated. Blindowner.

Hey There Okay, I bought this truck off government auction, and it came with both genartor lights on. I replaced gen 2 and the light went off, then I replaced gen 1 but the light stayed on. This is where the confusion begins, I tested the plug and found continuity between the pins. So I...

Hey there, I will answer your quetions now , but always ask if you need too. Q: "Is this a pickup, Blazer or ambulance?" A: It is a m1008 pickup. Q: "Does it still have two alternators or just one?" A: it has one alternator. Q: "Where did you get the truck from? Straight from the military, a...

Hey there, I seem to hear a lot about "the tm's" and to go to the resources page. Is that the link at the top of the page? I click on that and the page reloads with more features but no tm's are listed. Maybe I am just plain stupid, but I still could use some help. As always, details please, and...
