    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    Troubleshooting Day.... Ok today and most of yesterday was dedicated to troubleshooting. Top of the agenda was finding out why my Parking Brake Light/Alarm wouldn't shut off, why my truck won't shift into Lo/Hi Range with 120 PSI in the system, and lastly why my front axle wouldn't engage...

    M923 Front Axle Engagement

    OK, seems whenever the tranny was replaced, soldier A or B simply just connected a bunch of wires in whatever order. I unplugged about 6 wires that were incorrect. I referred to the TM and correctly connected the wires as they should. Now I can shift my transfer case Hi/Lo with 120 PSI. The...

    M923 Front Axle Engagement

    Anyone have their 5 ton close by to check on the capacitor? It's bolted right above the tranny against the bottom of the cab;-)

    About to change clutch, need some quick help

    Just something else to think about. Once your tranny is dropped,it'd be a good time to replace your engines rear main seal.

    M923 Front Axle Engagement

    The unconnected wire comes out of the capacitor (long ruber looking black cylinder). There are a total of 5 wires coming out of this thing. They're all connected to something except this male connector.:-?

    M923 Front Axle Engagement

    Hmm, it appears I have a missing connection going to the capacitor. Can anyone verify? From the TM it appears both the transfer case lever switch wires are suppose to go to this thing. Not sure if there was a MWO or some kind of update that moved the wire elsewhere. I traced the two wires on my...

    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    Front Wheel Drive where are you? Today I decided to go out and check to see if the front axle was locking up. Looks like a no go for me. Troubleshoot here I come. I've got the front end jacked up so I can check to see if the axle locks. Scenario 1: Built up air pressure to 120 PSI Shut...

    You do need a HAM radio license to transmit on the VRC-12 radios. However, you don't need a license to listen;-)

    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    Thanks John, roger that! I've been working all weekend and haven't been able to do anymore projects on her:shock:. I did lower the solargizer tower down about 12 inches. I used a swinging bracket to raise/point the solargizer in the direction of the sun. I'll have to post pics later as I'm ready...

    Solargizer blinks but very dim

    Here's what I found via search (hope the info is correct): Here is a brief red light legend for the Solargizer Red light on solid = working at full strength (full sunshine on solar panel) Red light blinking = working at partial strength (shaded or partial sun) Red light off = not working...
