Sorry, but Rapco is entirely too glossy, needs 4 times more flattener added to match CARC.

If it cranks with the switch connected and does not with it disconnected, the switch is defective. Now I see your switch is aftermarket, failure of that is not unusual.

Unusual, but it must be the switch.

Where did you disconnect the crank wire? At the starter or at the ignition switch?

Some advice. Don't take your FMTV to any shop period. Learn the systems and fix your truck yourself. The hive here has figured out nearly every issue and posted solutions and can assist you. HOWEVER, to assist you, you will need to report back precise symptomatic information.

Is that the correct part number spring? Looks too long to me. They don't compress very much.

All 4 battery 24 volt US military trucks are wired like your diagram. I prefer two mounted 12 volt maintainers, one on each pair of batteries that are in parallel (the left two and the right two). When it's time to move out, I unplug the "shore line" and roll.

Two things cause the brake pedal to return. The pedal itself returns by a spring. The piston in the master cylinder returns due to the fluid being forced back into it by the 6 springs on the brake shoes retracting the shoes and compressing the wheel cylinders. It's also possible that the...

Squeaks mean metal on metal. Something is worn out or needs grease.

That would have to be the ultimate fail to go through all the work of de-marining an engine and installing it in a pickup only to have the truck go 65 mph backwards. I don't have a boost gauge on my 2000 6.5 TD, but I recall safe boost levels being discussed on Dieselplace I think.

With or without 4L80E?

If your compressor is toast, have a taxi take you to Home Depot and buy a gas powered air compressor and run that for the rest of the way home. Isn't the usual reason for this issue the sneeze valve stuck open on the dryer?

Yes, please open all three drain cocks on the air tank reservoirs and tell us if the truck will still roll. Air pressure is needed to release the brake shoes on the rear axle which is the only axle used for the parking brake. If the shoes are released without air available, the mechanical...

I agree. The Lube Order calls for GO90. I prefer 140 because it leaks out slower.

1998 trucks and after are WTEC III. I cannot stress the importance of putting the "fuse block", actually "PDP", back to the factory configuration. All correct p/n relays and breakers in the proper spots. If the sockets are burned up, you may have to carefully relocate those circuits to an...

Sounds like the 3 lever switch is defective. That is assuming your wiring is not hacked up. On the headlights, verify if the bulbs are good before other diagnostics.

Still waiting to hear if the truck rolls with all air drained so at least we can eliminate stuck wedges on the rear axle as a cause.

Nope they are a gritty heavy truck wrecking yard with the usual poor attitude.

San Antonio Truck & Equipment has a bunch of them for sale. On the pricing, to add insult to injury, when these originally sold at auction, they were going for around $8000.

It's gasoline powered? Those get like 2 mpg.
