Checking codes? Anytime power is applied...

Well thats good news, sounds like everything is still functional with proper voltage applied. Based on your symptoms I suspect you will find a voltage drop with load, so you will have to figure out which, and loaded voltage tests at battery and power panel bolt heads will tell that tale. I...

The Throttle Position Sensor input plays a big roll in how the transmission responds IRT up and downshifts. If it is not inputting proper info about how you are commanding the pedal(desire to accelerate or decelerate), all the trans can do is wait till a hi or low RPM is reached to up or...

The key, is to stop the spin before it digs in, which can happen very quickly. If you look at just about any pic of one of these stuck when stuck, one corner is way down(thats the tire that dug in in AWD), which raises the opposite corner, and allows the torque to escape from that axle Which...

That sounds normal. Remember the voltage you are seeing may be the result of a bad/high resistance connection or weak/bad batteries I mentioned earlier, which could be effecting how the controllers are operating… this is a common failure on these trucks, and the first one I had on mine. Turn...

Well if the transmission browned out, or is not receiving proper power, it would not give you a neutral start contact, so no crank(aux start and starter solenoid). on the starter there is a short lead that runs from the solenoid to the side of the motor housing. that is what is powering the...

No, too many other things I want to get done. Still need to figure out wheel speed Sensors…

The aux start solenoid provides the power to the starter solenoid. If it were stuck on, the solenoid would be powered and the starter would probably be engaged, cranking the engine. what does it say on the batteries, and how many do you have? 4 is way more than the truck needs and the little...

First off, K11 keeps the alternator offline untill 15 PSI of oil pressure is reached. The starter should be done cranking by then… the starter solenoid does 2 things, it engages the bendix AND it has high current contacts to power the starter motor. if it is spinning without being engaged, I...

From Cat… they included most of the 3116 engine service info in the A0 manual, but I have not found much for the 3126. I also have not been looking for it specifically though…

Naw, you take a pan put some diesel and a little gas in it, light it and slide it under the engine. It either warms the engine enough to start, or the whole thing catches fire and burns to the rims… Either way your problem is solved:) Havn't been to Drum in a long time. Was stationed at...

Its on the drivers side rear of the cylinder head.

Correct!

Remove the banjo fitting where the larger CTIS hose connects to the hollow wheel stud. Put the banjo in a plastic bag or rubber glove and seal it to the hose with tape. If the glove inflates like a balloon, it is the CTIS wheel valve leaking. Not uncommon, put a jack stand under the axle and...

here are the marker lights, as I changed my plan a little and just ordered some more...

Well the leds I am putting on the cab rear bumper and habitat are two level, designed to be running and signal lights. They are surface mount aluminum base with plastic lenses. They make 3 sizes in orange, red, white. There is already ground and running light power to the front cab and door...

I did some light work also:) Replaced the front bumper lights with LED headlights and driving/fog lights. Both have halo ring DRL and turn signals. Also updated the lower cab and door marker lights and incorporated turn signals into them as well. Have a little more wiring to do(fog light...

Well thats weird. Any codes stored?

It wont tell you travel, only get you in the ballpark for compressed length. you had the extended length already right…

Well you can get a good idea. Measure the difference between the mount bolt centers as it sets, then measure the space between the bump stops And where they contact And subtract that from the mounted length. The unknown is how deep the system can get into the bump stops… I have this info from...
