    Aux starter solenoid mysteries

    Thanks for the confirmation. This may be a clue as to why this thing was originally sidelined at FMS The patina on the wires make me think its been like this for a while. Maybe it was wire nutted...poorly...definitely wasn't twisted together

    Aux starter solenoid mysteries

    Making progress on my M1078(A0) Frankenharness. Got power flowing. Warning buzzer fully functional.... Master power gets fuel solenoid to clunk. Trans control powers up with N-N showing. Pressing start switch clicks the relay but no crank. a couple months ago I Jumped the starter and it cranked...

    Stock, Stock Looking or Modified

    Circuit Breakers

    This truck came with a picked clean panel. No evidence of leaks. All the breakers and relays came from a tub of spares bought for the project. The second breaker I opened was rusty and burnt looking. I used a wire brush and scotchbrite to see what would clean off. It seems like one of the...

    Circuit Breakers

    Going through my PDP panel project and I cracked open one of the GI circuit breakers. Looks like they have seen better days. I think I'm gonna replace them with common BUSS type fuses. I was checking the -24P parts manual to see what amperage and how many of each and noticed item #77...

    Missing Fuse Panel - Replacement possible?

    All I have is the PDF downloads of all the TMs I found here on SS. The system is designed to be somewhat "soldier-proof" and once you have the correct panel, you should be able to match plugs by their banded number...like J33X plugs into P33X. If you can find the PDFs for the M1078A1, that...

    Missing Fuse Panel - Replacement possible?

    If you look closer at the ends of all the wires, you will see small black lettering that gives you the place it originates from and where it goes. And the connectors have metal bands with a unique code stamped in. They all correspond with the wiring diagram. It took me a week or so to figure out...

    Missing Fuse Panel - Replacement possible?

    Make sure you know exactly which panel you need. There are a few different ones over the years. Im working on an M1078A0. Its PDP is different from the A1 and they are different from the one I think you need. The guy that owns the truck I'm working on had a tub full of ebay purchased spares that...

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Yeah, I'm fully expecting something catastrophic. Not my first rodeo trying to raise the dead. I'm about 8 for 10. 10 for 15 if you include the motorcycles. I was encouraged by the fact that it was complete and intact. Nothing else was disassembled or missing. There is a new drivers door and...

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Today's progress report... Got everything plugged back in. Put some power to it. No POOFs. No sparks. Master switch made a relay click. Trans controller fired up and gave me a N N. Tried to crank...nothing. I realized that there are at least two circuit breakers and two relays on my bench...

    1993 M998 Antenna Mount Identification?

    Mine came with one mount and I added a second. I found the bases and, what one guy called "high survivability" whips at various sources. They were about half the going price of the cooler fiberglass units. I think these are the ones that convert best to CB use, but I haven't tried. They...

    Fiberglass Troop seat boards

    Top and doors storage recomendations

    The tops are more than just thin canvas. They are more or less a half an inch thick of rubberized (nylon?)canvas/insulation padding/nylon mesh. You can only fold them over once or twice before they are too thick to fold any further. I keep my good ones in the shed and the tattered two man cargo...

    Speaking of Fuel Caps: Locking

    I just put a bio diesel sticker on the tank. No body would steal your biodiesel or want to sabotage a fellow tree hugger. Psy-war-ops I did that to my Dodge Mega Cab 4x4 and you would not believe the good vibes that come your way.

    Fuel cap hole?

    Yeah, I got a pipe plug to seal it off. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a missing vent, or NBC filter or some other weirdness. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
