    Starter bolt backed out and fried the starter

    There is no voltage on the small solenoid lead...not until you attempt to start truck and even than on,y as long as the ignition is in start position. This is how all starters work... You need to work backwards from your starter and start checking and testing wires, the small solenoid wire is...

    What size is the crown nut holding the pintle?

    Just put a breaker bar into the pintle and crank away, most folks dont have a 1 7/8 socket, but many have a pipe wrench or large channel locks, hit it with some heat and it’s off in seconds. I do a bumper a week, it’s become a tedious process on the M1123’s...

    A2 Grounding question?

    No, and the only ground issues are due to the first auction trucks from 99 that were all USMC trucks. The issues were salt water exposure, PCB’s that were garbage and not ground fault intolerant, poor long term storage preparation. The A2 trucks that you see now from reset and 10yrs of storage...

    Speedometer calibration with different tires?

    that panal is utterly worthless....you will want it gone after the 5 ot 6th time you have to remove it for doing anything on that side of the truck. The way it’s attached to the throttle lock makes it an absolute PITA to install quickly

    Speedometer calibration with different tires?

    So you think this plastic part in the bed of a truck would still be there after hundreds or thousands of miles on a transport truck?

    rear seat bases

    Huh? All M11XX series trucks have the rear seat base channels already installed into the floor, the TCM is actually secured to the floor onto the seat base channels.

    Govplannet m1123 Barstow rebuild SF97 question

    Title is $100, the SF97 is $50...so If you have an SF97, it’s an additional $100 to get the title. GP uses the SF97 to convert to a title...so yes, a title is effectively $150 There is no ability to add the SF97 at checkout for a vehicle if: 1. No model year is listed in auction 2. No odometer...

    HMMWV photos of wiring harness for the temp sensor and speed sensor

    CPS and Temp sender wires are integrated into the A2 engine harness....make sure someone didn’t cut that branch off or installed an engine harness from an A0/A1 truck. The A2 harness will also have the TPS connetc ion as well up at the passenger side of the injection pump.
