I saw those armored box units when I was there in January. Iraqi Police???

I would give both sides of the connector some attention with compressed air. Then scrub everything with a q-tip and alcohol. Finish with a dab of dielectric grease around the contacts to ward off moisture and corrosion.

Ive just been educating myself on the wiring to help a friend fix his truck. I saw that there was a grounding wire behind the Power Distribution Panel...couldn't hurt to give it a look see.

Thanks for this. I gotta reprint my wiring diagram bigger so I can read it and find those.

Ive gone blind trying to find the fuel solenoid on the wiring diagram. Which of these terminals needs the 24v jumper to energize it?

So far, this is the most confusing wiring diagram Ive ever had to work with

What went here? Or more like whats missing from this pic?

No kidding. Ive been wrenching for 40 years, and nothing transfers its filth to me like an army truck. After messing with it for three hours before work yesterday, I was so grungy that my boss asked me what happened...I told him a garbage truck ran over me

I really appreciate the guidance on this, guys! Im slogging through PDFs of the TMs with a mouse that wont scroll up... Trying to understand the way the fuel delivery system functions and Ronmar's clue that that block(orifice tube?) is the FPR was a BIG help. Now the rest of the hardware is...

Ok. Dug into it a bit today. Oil and antifreeze were good and full. Hooked up batteries and got the starter to turn it over a couple dozen revs. So far so good. These were the data plates found on the engine... Injection pump... And the trans... Fuel tank was empty...yet remarkably...

The newer frames are aluminum? That would be some more weight saving. I gotta get me a set to replace my heavy wood and steel.

That's where I want to start. Verify the engine and trans models, and then get it fired up to make sure this isn't just a parts heap. I do wonder why they hacked the electronics out, though. Seems to be a complete truck otherwise

The one by itself, correct? There is a different one in the black A1 dash...is that the WTEC 3?

Yes. That's what he got with it, That tub of stuff that has close shapes. I take it that the A0 dash is green and the A1 dash is black? Ill dig into finding the trans numbers, too.

Between the batteries always needing a slave start, and the tires, I would not drive it.

Working on verifying which engine it has. Got some more pics from him...

Yeah, he realizes that now. He says there was a pic from the sale that showed the word "running" in grease pencil on the cab front. When he got it, it said "not running". They conveniently cropped that out of the pic. The rest of the truck seemed complete

He has a trans control box. Waiting for pics to ID it.
