    A starter will only grind for a few reasons… no flexplate teeth weak solenoid bad bendix gear missing teeth on the bendix have someone attempt to start the truck while you observe the bendix gear working, obviously you need to pull the inspection cover to do this. A seized motor wont grind the...

    Quicker EUC times since I did this…

    Your’re observation is Incorrect, because even though I had a Secret govt clearance and in the military, my EUC’s got no more attention than the guy down the street, its ”first in, first out”, once the EUC hits TSC, we are all created equal….as I’ve noted before, the process ebbs and flows due...

    Quicker EUC times since I did this…

    It’s only required one time regardless of the number of vehicles purchased, GP can’t and won’t submit the EUC to TSC without it… You are authorizing yourself to store the vehicles at your location….not another person, it’s a stupid request.

    200 amp alternator- No output, questions.

    that box you have is a PCB, it’s got it own dedicated glow plug controller in the water crossover, not a TSU….TSU is only used in EESS series boxes. You are on borrowed time with that old PCB.

    200 amp alternator- No output, questions.

    It’s not a signal at the IGN terminal, it’s 24v that is from turning on the ignition to “run”, that comes through the “EESS” box. No 24v? the generator doesn’t know the generator is turning, once it’s turning, it waits to see a stable speed of rotation, this is part of the soft start feature.

    Quicker EUC times since I did this…

    “EUC” times are what they are…and nothing speeds them up, I buy a truck a week for years, the times ebb and flow.
