The picture of the tubular thing is undoubtedly a step, I think. See the treadplate on the bottom? Looks like the top two tubes slide into receivers and the third arm, with red paint, bolts up to hold the step in. Maybe look around the underside of your bed to find the receiver for the step...

That's a huge step in the progress direction! Congrats.

Are you trying to unscrew a Huck Bolt? Good luck :-) Look 'em up.

If the trans ECM is bad or sees an error then cranking is disabled. Ie, no crank will occur. If the engine cranks then probably the transmission is happy. I would look in the Start Disable circuit (thats what it does: crank but no start) and check voltage to the fuel solenoid.

After looking at the useage of all 10 of the Circuit Breaker positions, CB 49 is for the PTO which my truck does not have. CB 49 was repurposed to replace CB 79. The PDP was labled to remind me. Back on the road again. I do have a quick jumper and spare relays and CBs but of course the dead...

You are making great progress!

Followup on the blown CB-79 in my LMTV M-1078: The power wire to the fuel solenoid had been rubbing on a bolt head near the solenoid terminals. It got bounced one-time-too-many and shorted out. That took out CB-79 through relay K19 the start inhibit relay. When you kill the fuel and inhibit...

The PDP is a stack of Dill Blox "tinker toy pieces" put together any way desired. It's a neat system. Stack as desired then insert the red locks to tie it together.

Well the swap worked fine. The new type speedometer can directly plug and play with the older type. Road speed reads correctly compared to GPS. WooHoo. Picture of 'old type' is attached. There are lots of pictures of the new type with the programming DIP switches in other threads and in the...

That's a lucky 404 to receive all that TLC! Nice truck.

The speedometer in my 1994 M-1078 [A0] has always been way off on speed and Odo reading. Working behind the dash on another project I decided to swap out the speedometer. The old speedo is not the same as a 1996 model. The original speedo is not programmable like the replacement is. There...

That really helped! The drawing for that bus bar indicated it is all one piece so has to be removed in one piece. I will disassemble and either repair the one contact or swap out the whole buss. Many thanks. I found the reason for the failure and will update the thread soon.

Just looked up the i-eloop system. The purpose is to recover energy from decelleration and use it to charge the electrical system. This part I am intuiting: the voltage recovered would vary considerably with speed and rate of deceleration. If that voltage were conditioned in real time to...

Has anyone had to replace terminals in the PDP? I burned one of the terminals where CB-79 plugs in due to a shorted wiring harness (still chasing it). The terminal is attached to the 24v buss-bar that runs along the rear, feeding the whole strip of 24v CB's. That buss-bar is covered with a...

I run a bunch of radio stuff off the 12v tap in the Power Distribution Panel. It's a good solid 12v -14v with the truck running. Not much electrical noise on it either. As MechanicJim stated, coming from the battery would work fine too but consider that the route into the cab is going to be...

Enjoyed learning more about your projects and family.

Nice truck! Like the winch!!

Folks, thanks for the multitude of volunteers. Fuzzytoaster was first to get an address to me so he gets the job, and the credit later. Thanks.

Sending P M. Fast results are to everyone's benefit. Thanks!
