Reading the training manual, if either fuses are blown the light would stay out, the 15A would prevent the ECU from lighting it, and the 3A would also stop the light from coming on if blown. Gonna check mine to be sure...
Dropped it off at the heavy truck place with copies of the TM, talked to the foreman, and wrote additional instructions. Nervous MV owner. Hopefully in two days it will be back to normal.
Wow great idea! I cleaned up a rusty chain that I recovered that would have benefitted by that earlier in its life. It also probably sound dampens.
I changed the oil, oil filter and the fuel filter. Date on oil filter was '08 (manufactured) Yuck. Everything was clean though, no crap or...
Well, I am calling it quits on my own removal. I tried to drill them out, and got nowhere, and I did break the bit. Roboimpact didn't budge them. Calling around to see who can tackle the job, and will let them cut the nut off. I've never seen a more stubborn cotter. Let you know what the...
Drilling it probably will be. I have one last ditch effort with the linesmen's on the other side, and potentially some heat. Now I wondering if the cotters I have in there are the OLD school style, which is the ones that rust. The cadmium coated ones help prevent rust, which is what I think...
I did have the bolts / bracket torched out at the salvage yard, but this is back at the shop. No punch would touch it. Don't know the hardness, think they are the cadmium coated ones, they don't feel "extra" hard, but they definitely won't move.
I'm down to:
Torch the nuts off, but I'd...
OK peeps. I really need your help. I tried a punch. Nope. I tried the steel rod trick. Nope. I PB Blasted everything. Nope. I moved onto the other side. The cotter pins will not even jiggle a little bit. I'm wondering what the issue is. CARC might be it, rust could also contribute...
When I got to Glen's and finally got under a truck, I pulled two cotter pins that were so easy, bent and pulled, then done. The other two did break but was able to grip them with a pair of linesman's pliers but folding them over, then hammering up on the pliers. Came right out. The castle...
Well. I received my giant wrench and socket. I went to to get the cotter pins out and broke them. I had no other great tools so the plan is either a punch, nail set, or a steel rod 1/8 or 3/16 cut to various lengths (hopefully not getting stuck in there) to get the offending cotter out. I...
My lord, look at all the CO peeps. Where did all of you come from? I have tried to make a mvcc event, but it looks heavily WWII geared. Don't want to pull up to the Harley rally in a rice burner....
I think it's time for a rally in CO!
That article is a bit dated, but still applies, just the years are now 32 to be a collector vehicle, the 1990 won't qualify. Get ready for GVW plates. Stay tuned, I'm working with the DMV on something which might work out. Do NOT register it yet, but do get the title.
Funny part about the shut off, is there is already one in the cab. We had to zip tie it open so had to cut it off, then articulate it to get it to stop the engine. The necessity of a recovery... Good luck, let us know what happens, and post some picts of the truck!
That issue of no crank, but jumps sounds just like an issue we had with an M934a2. We suspected the PCB, but also found a missing ground strap, which played havoc on our troubleshooting. Mechanic said it was the starter, but wasn't at all. The PCB, grounding, and cranking are all involved in...
Thanks guys. With the wrenches, sockets and a BFH, I will be good to go. I have a very level garage, so that shouldn't be an issue. I also saw Warthog's post about the ratchet straps, great idea. I have a couple of Sunex sockets, tried to find one, got a Stanley instead. Doesn't look like...
Between the bay and the other one, I bought two wrenches and 2 sockets. Figure I could use the sockets for 1/2 the job. I also plan on using my Robo Impact if need be. Love that thing. **** those Snap-on's are pricey. I got all 4 for the 1/3 of the price. And I await more shipping...
Not...
