    What am I doing wrong? Why does my ignition start switch handle not line up?

    I looked around on Fleabay and the only seller I see claiming to have OEM switches are used. You very likely ended up with a cheap Chinese knockoff, those have caused mucho grief for some here on SS, including burned up starters.

    What am I doing wrong? Why does my ignition start switch handle not line up?

    You see that hole at about 11:00? there is supposed to be a little tab on the switch that goes into that hole to help keep the switch properly aligned.

    4l80e head scratcher.. need help

    I am 100% wrong, yet almost right. The most common 4L80E TCM, like 99.99% of them out there are not compatible, the same TCM was used on some early civi 4L80Es but they are scarcer than hens teeth.:(

    Thermal Flasher self-destruct

    Yes it is in/out on 325A/B not sure which way but for troubleshooting with a (EDIT, incandescent) headlamp for example the polarity does not matter, I would think it does matter how you connect the flasher itself.

    Thermal Flasher self-destruct

    You could also wire in a 24V headlight across where the flasher goes if you have one laying around, the turn signals should not pull enough current to light the headlight but a short of course would, this would make looking for the short easier and cheaper than a pile of fuses, you would...

    Thermal Flasher self-destruct

    I would put a fuse wired in where the flasher goes and make sure you do not have a short, of course the lights will just stay lit instead of flashing. There are others with allot of experience converting to LED that will surly jump in and help.

    What are the best rear seat support trays? Outside of drilling out the rivets and puting in a new base to get rid of the trays.

    The seat base you are looking at has the same part number UOC (use on code) for the basic,, A1 and A2 trucks. Your basic M998 has a UOC of H13, the M998A1 is A13 ETC., you can see all the UOC codes under the parts description While the early basic trucks may have had thinner plates the...

    New to me 998!

    The gash is testament to how careless the GP folks are with fork lifts. :mad:

    Thermal Flasher self-destruct

    Welcome to the forum!! When you disconnect the ground with the switch and you have any load at all on the 24V circuits you reverse polarity the 12V circuit. You need two disconnect switches, one on the ground and one on the 12V connection to the batteries. I can't see how this would kill the...

    Warn 27270 winch - anyone know how the controller is wired? 1986 M1038

    Winches of this type are all wired the same, if it has 4 contactors (as shown in the picture you posted) then two are switched on for forward and two for reverse. You should have these "pairs" already wired together, usually the "pairs" are crisscrossed not beside each other (very clear in the...

    I dont trust my oel pressure display

    The gauge should read 0 with the run switch off, if it is reading 90psi it is the gauge.

    Disassambling Gauges for replace the glas

    They would be assembled like any other gauge, the bezel is crimped on, you can pry the crimp open and there are companies that can do this and re-install them without looking like crap but I have never been able to do it. Others will comment with ways to restore the "glass" (I think it is...

    Just the radio.

    PRC-47 antenna insulator

    I picked one of these up from Fair radio, $20 with screws, washers etc.

    Clansman gear, anybody running this stuff and is there any interoperability with the US stuff?

    A little off subject but about batteries, I scored a nearly complete AN/PRC-47 including transit case, very few pieces are missing. I am wondering if anyone has info on the batteries, that and the backpack frames and a couple other small pieces are all I need to make a complete set. And the...

    Clansman gear, anybody running this stuff and is there any interoperability with the US stuff?

    Not likely, there is enough solid state stuff in just about any modern radio to make it susceptible to an EMP event. I have two IC-706MKIIG radios wrapped in tin foil placed in ammo cans with steel mesh around the gasket surface, placed inside a gun safe. That radio covers just about any...

    Clansman gear, anybody running this stuff and is there any interoperability with the US stuff?

    It is strange how the 5080 is treated like a step child, it was not even given the VRC designation and I see no reference in any Clansman documentation.
