safety adition Seems very unfortunate that happening to you on a new purchase. I would phone the previous owner and describe your problem. (if he had not already made a point of notifying you of a "problem"). But then That should have been sorted out before letting you drive (anywhere!) Home...

I can't find my relevant old hard drives, I will have a search later. But to show you my way of completing the modification look at my posts of old in pictures of "deks collection", and some mods.

Well yes you CAN do it, but there are more than one way to carry out that job. I wanted 1200x20 singled out wheels on my (old deuce which I have now swapped back into my collection). I had the opportunity to get 6 perfect wheels and tires from an AEC Militant British army truck. I liked their...

Every two years regardless. Rotella and new filters. Start up? warm up and go. No go? No start up. Shut down, let it idle for about 10 minutes. Been doing that for ever with mine. No problems.

Check the battery connections, and then the alternator output.

Inside the alternator itself. That is usually a symptom of the fault you describe. A simple fix usually. Sometimes it is caused by connecting the alternator up incorrectly. Years since I did one (or the theory) but I believe there are 3 diodes protecting the circuit. A competent auto electrician...

I believe, Because there is (should be(a functional))diode in the circuit to prevent current flowing back into the alternator(?).

Hmmmm....!

Another "member of the week"..(this week! as well as (seemingly all the others.)) Nice to hear.:tank:

Oops!...Now might be the time to study up in detail the T.M.s. applicable to your truck, and (also) make a serious effort to trouble shoot the suspect components in or operating the system first. Try to find another member who has a similar truck near to you (or far for that matter) to have some...

That 923 looks so huge next to the hemtt. I would quite like to own one..

Well done absolutely!. That (nice looking truck) is lucky to have you as it's new owner. We will be Following your project with great interest.

Today the "apprentice) Fitted a cab light, and a rear view camera. An inverter in the cab (24-240 volt) as this was a spare outdoor surveillance unit, and a twin power outlet socket (U.K. 3 Pin 240 v.) for that camera and screen unit, Under the dash. Checked air tanks for water. Bizy bee..A Good...

Cant quite figure what you are trying to ask here, But I have a master switch on all my vehicles. And when I require the vehicle to fire up I simply turn on the master (isolator switch) Then fire up and go. The only delay is if I have to walk round to turn the master on if it is on the battery...

Should be an easy fix. The wire positive goes to the horn, through it, out to the steering column and is then Earthed by the horn ring. The resistance to Earth blows the horn. Check that power goes in to the horn itself, (And with the earth off (that is the other wire coming out)). Ground that...

Be brave, and be careful, you can do it just take your time. Have a large magnet and something to prevent the items falling into the works. There must be a way. good luck.

You know what, that SO p...s Me o..! (when) you see a vehicle complete in pictures and then when you travel a bunch of miles to collect it there are (genuine hard to replace) Parts missing. That happened to me when I went to collect my M62. Had a proper ruckus with the guy selling it, (until my...

Great comment, and (so) heart felt! Frankly there is much about modern Fighting vehicles that leaves so much to be desired. I for one UNDO the "new style " handbrake levers on the deuces. Especially thought out and carefully designed to be (accidentally?) pushed off every time you exit the...

We are having a drive out and barbecue next weekend, p.m. me and perhaps link up? Bring the crew.

What a beautiful looking well restored piece of history.
