yes, it does. Thanks.

Thanks. I ordered the short finder, and I am going to work on the front harness. I was thinking that the front harness was on a different circuit, but I see now that they both come in to the same circuit.

I used to live in southwest PA. Wouldnt mind going back. Is the plug to disconnect the dash panel hanging down by the steering column under the dash? It has a clasp on each end which I popped off, but still cant get the 2 pieces of the plug apart. I found this plug hanging down from the...

Thanks. I will get the short finder. I was going to go into the dash panel and look at the connection and wiring of the bubs, since a couple dash lights are in the same circuit.

I disconnected the harness at both ends, check for short to ground-nothing. left harness unplugged and put the fusebox back together- it is still blowing fuses. So the short has nothing to do with the rear tailights or wiring harness. Any insight on the second best place to check?

got it. thanks. I found a replacement on ebay for $15, just in case. I will post pics as I dig into it.

How do I access the spot where the wire rubs? From the bottom?

Hello, I have a M1008 and my running lights on the tail lights are out. Also all of the dash lights are out, but headlights, brake lights, turn signals still work. The fuse for the running lights, #16 on the diagram, a 20 amp fuse, blows as soon as I flip the blackout switch, even with the tail...

I need electrical help. On my M1008, all of the panel lights are out, and the 12 v from the fuse box that is switchable using the blackout toggle no longer has any voltage readings using a voltmeter. Still have the 28v reading, and the non-switchable 12v. I had a tach powered from the...

As a chemist, I cant pass this up, even though it is a few years old.. In aqueous solution, which radiator fluid is, pH 7 is neutral. There is no "change" in going from living organism to radiator fluid. After all, the aqueous solution isnt alive. The preferred pH of living organisms is 7.4...

Thanks! Thats what I am looking for.

Two questions 1) I have a 1986 m1008 with lifted suspension. The suspension was lifted when I bought it. I started getting some tire wrap and the straps on the rear leaf springs were popping off. I took it to a spring shop and one thing they told me was that I needed a block on the frnt left...

Why is everybody having problems with the 24V starter??? My starter on my 1986 M1008 was sticking a little too much, so I removed it and put in its place a 24 V starter that I bought from ebay. First thing I noticed was that it was difficult to install. It took me more than an hour to get the...

I finally broke down and bought a Wilson starter, as the rotor and status looked questionable on the one I had that burned out. Also, the resister crumbled when I touched it. I see the rebuild kits dont include the resistor. Nevertheless, because of the status and rotor condition, I opted to...

I have a lot of problems with the starter sticking. It is quite embarrassing after showing admirers mytruck, then having to crawl underneath with a hammer to get it started. I put on a new starter, and it still occasionally sticks. I found it especially sticks in hot weather. What I noticed...

How do you adjust the clearance with a "shimless" starter? I got a starter from Ebay, and I had a heck of a time installing it. It just didnt seem to fit correctly. After I got it on after hours of work fiddling with it, I notice a grind sound that lasts for a second when I first start it...

WHAT "tool" do people use to hold the brushes in the retracted position while putting both halves of the alternator back together? I am thnking to stick a thin wire through the holes.

t was charging high, then the #2 light came on, then the volt meter dropped to just barely in the green. Which do you suggest- the rebuild kit, Autozone or Napa alternators?

I was driving and heard a belt start squealing, then smelled burning rubber. Soon after the belt to gen 2 broke. I replaced the belt and noticed the volt meter went up to the beginning of the red. I assumed it was recharging the battery that must have been drained by the slipping belt. I...
