Uh, you know they don't have keys right? ;)

New additions to the DRMO yard.

The last thing you did before it died seems like it involved that slave port. Take it out.

The AC Delco ones I got from a supposedly reputable dealer were individually boxed, and 10mm. The 10mm ones build character because you get to do the job again in a few months or less; the turbo trucks with the 400amp alternators build exponentially more character than the NA trucks. :mad:

If they're loose you can always try putting the tool on them and giving an extra squeeze to see if they'll tighten up.

Well, to wrap up the wiper problem, here's the epilogue. As you recall, I was driving along and lost the gauges, wipers, and the transmission went into limp mode. An automatic circuit breaker was cycling under the dash - trying to repower everything but finding a dead short to ground it would...

I checked for continuity between the two wires that connect to the wiper switch and ground, and there was no direct short, so I hope that isn't the issue. It seems odd to me that a motor would have a dead short like that, so I'm not entirely convinced it is the motor. My experience is that...

Most Flight Engineer stories begin, "There we were, flying along all fat dumb and happy, when [insert problem or near-death experience]..." Well, there I was driving along the highway all fat dumb and happy when the wipers and gauges quit. I was creeping in traffic at the time and didn't...

I currently work for the Navy, was 20 years USAF, and I can tell you it isn't any different in those two branches of the military than it is in the Army. The books will tell you it's one or the other, but when you go to start the maintenance, you discover it's neither... This is the fuel pump...

Not sure, what am I looking for, and where?

OK, so with 37 total hours (since reset I believe) it runs and powers fine at 50% load. Fresh oil and filter, and two new fuel filters. Increase it to 100% as suggested by turning on the oven in the kitchen, and it'll go just fine for 3 to 5 minutes, at which point the frequency drops off and...

I used the info in this stickied thread to build the box. I sourced a mil trailer connector from an old CUCV and got a coil-cord from a trailer supply website. The grey box is just a standard house-wire electrical box available in any home center. Using multi-volt LEDs lets you use the existing...

If you mean the second to last picture, then yes, it's an adapter to convert the military receptacle in the grey box to a standard 7-pin trailer setup. I converted my first M1101 trailer harness to seven pin by rewiring from the junction point on the trailer, on this one I chose to keep the...

When I was a gov quality inspector I had to take a course in Mag-Particle NDT, and they teach you to demagnetize the parts after inspection. The idea is to prevent the part from attracting grit that can cause damage later on. Knowing that I don't use magnets. I carry in a cross-draw holster...

The question should be, what size wrench did you use to install them? If it was 10mm, they're cheap junk. If 3/8" then they're probably OEM.

That's what's coming... sort of...

It's a Napa 3348 filter. Had three guys at the local Napa scouring the store for anything that might work. Two gave up and said they had nothing, third guy found an assortment pack that had one that looked like it would work. He robbed two of the assortment packs and told me to have a nice...

The shipment I'm waiting for is for the fuel filter and the seals that keep things dry in there. So Napa has the filter, but the filter only comes with a gasket for the bowl, not the two for the thru-bolt... :mad:

My local postmaster let me in on how their process works a few years ago when something went missing. When you drop off the package it's scanned "in" to the post office. The PO then scans it "in" to a container, and that container number is now associated with your package, and vise-versa...

Day 20 and the tracking still shows the USPS really doesn't know where it is.
