If I'm reading this correctly (I'm gonna save the instructions into photoshop and clear them up) but am I reading it correctly that power is run through the dimmer switch on the floor????

You. Are. The. Best!

Absolutely true. I've driven wreckers (rollback and boom) in the civilian world and am well aware of the laws regarding the use of them. Excellent point and info definitely worth passing on. My main use for them would be parades and when I'm exiting/entering my driveway as I live on a fairly...

OK, after more digging, I found the following illustration: Based on this, all of my gauges are connected through the switch to the battery. Logically, my switch has failed in the "closed" position, resulting in the above mentioned problems. I found one from Eastern Surplus and WI order it...

So again, my question is this I guess.... Is the PCB in line *before* the switch? As in it gets power regardless or is power sent to the PCB through the switch? As I said, my guages etc all stay on. Shouldn't the switch kill that?

The question I have, though, is shouldn't the battery switch kill power to the PCB? From what I'm seeing, the switch is "upstream" from the PCB. Turning the switch off should kill electricity to the entire circuit and that isn't happening, so unless I'm reading power flow incorrectly, my first...

All- One of the issues I have with my 5 ton is the battery switch will not kill electrics to the starter or dash gauges. In the off position, it is possible to still start the truck and my gauges will eventually drain my batteries. To "fix" this and add additional security to the truck, I've...

Completely understood. But as you can see.... mine is about as far away from having unit markings as possible.... As far a license plates, some states (such a s Louisiana) do not issue license plates to FMVs... 🤷‍♂️

I appreciate you Guy, and when I get home (offshore now) I certainly will.

There are some newer members I was talking to about this very thing, so I figured this thread could use a bump.... So... **BUMP**

Thinking about it now.... I wonder what unit he thought I belonged too... 😳😳😳

Heh, I've driven my 5 ton to the local base and was in the process of being waved in (beard and all) without being checked when I stopped and asked the MP if he would like to see my insurance, license etc... he turned beet red and told me "I thought you were a unit truck, sir".... THIS is after...

Referencing the TMs... I have to quote a thread from the other day... "Parts are expensive... grease is cheap!" Welcome to the site and sickness!

Awesome! You rock!

Thank you much! I'll download and pursue these tonight at work. (I'm offshore on night shift and sometimes it gets slow)...

I also searched "light" and while I got 3,000 hits.. none were what I needed... 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Oh, and that's comprehensive insurance and I stated the replacement value.

Not sure what use you will have for it, but I was able to insure my 5 ton with State Farm as a "Classic Vehicle". They started with the "It's commercial because of the weight" and I calmly spent 3 hours explaining that it was no different than an old Corvette, because I only intended it for...

All- I have checked the -10 and -20 TMs (searched for "convoy") and cannot find installation instructions. I searched the site and found the Deuce -20 for installation, but I don't believe they are compatible. Anyone have a direction to point me in? I appreciate all and any help!
