The simplest way is to add a high current switch on that ground lead. This will stop the truck from drawing any current(and kill that 12v vampire). It will NOT however remove the difference in potential between 12 and 24V, so you can still run into issues when working on the truck electrical...
What Mullaney said! I start with my ears, then my hands, then bubble mix. I would add check the glad-hands and normal vents(right under heater behind grill, bottom of relays and qr valve). Also don't forget the park and trailer plumbing in the dash. The seals on the push-pull control on the...
They may not be easy to kill, but they do appear to have a fairly high failure rate:)
IRT your battery voltages, they are OK, but they also illustrate one of the biggest issues with the LMTV. Depending on the battery type those resting voltages indicate a range of 70-85% state of charge. You...
And both those symptoms point toward the ECU connection on the side of the engine… the service brake switch sends a signal to the ECU on the side of the engine, which puts that information out onto the data bus(Not sure if the trans uses brake info though). The high idle command switch feeds...
Yes the LMTV gauges are weird. In the case of the tach sensor used by the 3116 though, it probably would not matter as the sensor is self powered/generates the signal pulses internally.
You would have to find 12v to power a 12v gauge. Not sure what the M35 uses for gauge power. The A0 does...
You said that fault was for comms between transmission and engine. Have you checked the connections at the engine control unit? Is the inline filter module still installed at the ECU?
I need to re-do the wiring diagram. It is pretty simple, 3switches, some diodes, a relay and a pressure gauge. I was looking at making the latch circuit with a SCR vis a relay.
I drew out a diagram for a enclosure that bolted where the original controller went, and connected re-using the...
Yea the whole unit is potted horribly, no internal box access. I couldn’t remember if the keyboard had any access. I gutted my dead one to make my first manual controller prottype.
Yea bad controller or keyboard. What pressure are the tires at now. I dont recall from when I gutted mine wether the keyboard is replaceable. You can unscrew the keyboard cover from the top and access the keyboard and see if it has a connection that is accessable. I would look at that before...
Omni glass and paint in oshkosh WI. for the door glass.
Good luck with latch hardware. I went with trimark 2stage latches from a hotrod supply house and toyota tacoma/4runner handles…
Only the bypass check is accessible, the other 2 for the bulb are not. I did some 3116 fuel system videos over on Youtube. This first one covers how to check primer function. The second one is a system overview. One of my other vids shows what a fuel system air leak looks like using a...
There is a flapper type bypass check valve on the bottom of the filter housing. When running fuel uses this flapper to bypass the primer bulb as it couldn't handle all that flow. The primer itself has its own smaller internal check valves, but both would have to fail to cause drain back…
The...
Yea the OEM spring loaded breakaway brackets are terrible. I was thinking about building my own brackets/arms with a sealed detent pivot like is found on many pickup mirrors…. There is also a door mount point above the window that could be used for a strut, or even a cylinder to fold them...
There are exploded views of both fan assemblies in the A0 24P manual available here in the TM section(uploaded by ptracy). The new model shows a complete internal breakdown of the clutch assembly parts.
The air leaking for a bit then stopping would agree with the leak draining the wet tank to...
