To rule out suspension geometry questions, mount a camera, like one of those Go-Pro things, under the truck and see what happens under braking. Oh, and please be sure to post any such videos here! 8-)

Mine did that when the front battery went bad. It would take a charge, but would fail under a load test. I'd suggest giving them a full charge, then have them load tested. For a quick work around, I swapped the batteries around and that gave me enough to get it started. I would not advise...

:ditto: What he said... When my front battery was going bad, I would get the dash lights flashing and relay going crazy noise when I tried to crank the engine. The front battery would charge, but failed the load test. The rear battery tested good, so I was able to swap them and get it to start...

If the tire looks bad, I would not want to run it any longer than I had to. When you have it in for the rotation and balance, see what they have to say about it. Is there a tire recall database anywhere? Sorry, don't know about the u joints and shafts, but am looking forward to reading what...

The filter part numbers, as well as a lot of other good general info, is located in the CUCV wiki / FAQ.

Swap tires front to rear and see if the vibration changes.

Wow, looks like the dreaded runaway starter the stock starter relay is famous for!

You may have a bad battery. I'd suggest giving them a full charge, and then having them load tested at your local auto parts house. Unless you have your own load tester, that is! :grin:

Oh, I know what it is! Isn't that the Russian Mars probe that Steve Austin had to do battle with?

Maybe it is a BOLO test bed? :-D

Maybe it could ( should? ) be merged with the previously mentioned thread?

Probably a shorted diode on the horn relay.

While I haven't run mine dry, the gauge seems to be in the ball park, at least...

Maybe someone made a typo while bidding, and then had an "medical emergency" once they realized their mistake? ;)

I plan on leaving mine in its stock 12/24 configuration, with the exception of the 12v bypass for the glow plugs.

Simple answer? Treat it like what it is... a 25+ year old truck.

1) yes, both alts are 12v, but they are isolated ground, as gen 2 gets its ground reference from gen 1. 2) Gen 1 ( left side ) charges the front battery. Gen 2 puts out 24v across both batteries. Download the TMs, there are some good troubleshooting guides in them. ?) Glow plugs are 12v. The...

Soak the bolts in PB Blaster a few days ahead of the planned swap. I put mine up on jack stands and pulled the wheels for easier access. Have a good selection of socket extensions on hand for the right rear. Left rear is a bit of a pain, but not too bad. Air tools would help.

Hmm... is there a source for this info? I've wondered what it is for as well. Per the -20p TM, it is listed as:
