Do what suprman suggested, you have a non-oem cobble job.

Is that compressor on the passenger side? Looks backwards from OEM.

Maybe reconnect one wire at a time to the brake switches and see which wire causes the short? Maybe one wire engages the exhaust brake and the other the brake lights? Just guessing, sorry, my fmtvs are older.

You will get better results using the “hive” on here, have him relay to you EXACT SYMPTOMS and whether or not he is working on a crappy Ft Polk rebuild or not.

Please give us your thoughts on this monster. How it drives, quirks etc. I may be next.

Nice truck! Yes since we seem to get 500 year floods every two years, your truck will come in handy.

Or bad connections. After cranking feel all the connections, if there is high resistance it will burn your hand, likely suspects are the barrier strip on the firewall and cable end terminals between the terminal and the cable strands.

The problems are related. When the alternator pegs out, the connection to the battery has been lost and the alt is "self exciting" without a reference voltage. If you are SURE that all the cable connections to the various posts are spic and span, and your batteries test good, look for this...

Haha they ride real smooth when heaped up to the top with gravel. Even gas powered, there is demand for dump trucks for site work etc. $5000 is selling price running with all repairs done. Plan on 6 wheel cylinders which is a huge amount of work to replace.

Nice truck. Usually dripping is from transmission. If filled to the fill hole it will leak out. Brake cleaner can save the clutch.

What about putting it back? How on earth do you expect to get precise torque wrench readings while hugging the front axle? Reassembly is a precision task that needs to be performed in a clean well lit shop.
