    Trucklite Headlight

    Just wondering if there is any way to save one of my headlights that flickers sometimes. Was most of the way off just now. I like the look but expensive.

    Headlight wires.. Which one does what.

    Take a look at this. 16 is ground, 17 shows as high and 18 low beam. Have heard some say 17 is low but this contradicts that.

    m35a2 Fuel Fiter

    As with what frank said, take the assembly off and install gaskets where you can see them. I use the napa gaskets and have not ever had an issue. Something is just not on correctly.

    Electrical connector source

    I considered the front harness. My headlights have an open somewhere inside where they bundle on the firewall or in the routing going up to the headlights. No telling what else is going on once I unwrap everything.

    Headlight wiring help

    They are dim when on high beam. First thing I thought is I had the leads backwards but definitely did not. I knew I would have wiring trouble on this truck eventually...so here it is. Luckily, all the rest of lights work just fine, cranks good, etc etc. Just no dang headlights.

    Headlight wiring help

    Using a ground going to battery, I have -12vdc on both power leads at each headlight and when I go to high beam I have +12vdc to #17 leads..both sides. Surely -12vdc is not correct. And with the +12vdc the high beams do work.

    Newbie fuel filter change question

    Howdy, I attach fuel lines, break open the bleeder screw with one of those 90 degree screwdrivers...a stubby would work too. With bleeder screw open a couple of turns I reach the ignition and turn it over till I get some decent fuel. Once I get good fuel I will hand tighten the sxrew to get it...

    Headlight wiring help

    I will be doing that.....thanks for the advice. If I can 100% be certain of the yes/no of voltage at each light connector I can go from there for sure.

    Headlight wiring help

    I bought this truck as a parts truck and it has ended up being something I will not be parting out. It had a corroded wire #10, from magnetic relay that I had to repair to get it started. Figured I would eventually have more wiring issues. It sat down near the beach for a long time...

    Correct Antennas for a M1046a

    Looks to be a car hauler and not a flatbed. Good chance there isnt a chain on that rig. Alot of those guys have never hauled anything but regular cars and trucks and those straps are quick. But I do agree the chains are safer and is what I use.

    OEM Paper Gasket or RTV Sealant on Axel..??

    I'm with Simp. Used both, both work. I think the last few I have done I used the permatex and it works well. Same stuff I put in the keyway both before and after the cork.....

    Looking for pics of M923a2 and S-280

    Yep, looks good. Any reason it is not all the way up to the front of the bed? Owner choice?

    Looking for pics of M923a2 and S-280

    I just cant find some decent pics of a nice M923a2 with an S-280 in the back. If anyone has some, please post. Kicking around getting a shelter.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    How do you get your spare up there?

    Looking for replacement bearing and seal for Water Pump 12557071.

    He's in Belgium so shipping may make a whole pump cost prohibitive too.

    Looking for replacement bearing and seal for Water Pump 12557071.

    Hi Jake, I do understand you dont want to buy a whole pump...and I have no idea about the bearing but....I just replaced mine on a 6.5 in a 1097a2 and it was about $80 from melton. I think they are alot higher at some other sources and wanted to make sure you knew about them.
