I'm reposting this with an explanation to what and how the thermal switch in employed in the starter circuit. The jumper wire on the auxiliary starter relay in the photo is the grounding side of the trigger of the relay. Instead of going directly to a chassis ground, originally it is routed...

So your VIM was also missing on your truck? There is a way to start the truck, but I'm not going to tell anyone if they don't already know how to...:roll:

The start inhibit switch only cuts off the fuel , and resets with the cycling of the master power switch

Don’t overcomplicate these trucks any more than people already think they are. You have sensors for an oil pressure gauge and a low oil pressure light, and that is all they are and do. As I first said, I didn’t have any relays or CBs, so go back and make sure K1 is 24v and K2 is 12v. Also...

Thank you, it was a fun project that actually came out like I had envisioned it from the beginning! :shock: Unless they managed on hiding the VIM elsewhere, you need the WTEC III. If needed, I do have the wiring diagram to change from the II to the III. I haven’t studied it to see what’s...

The easiest way to find out if you're suppose to have a WTEC II or III is to have you remove the kick panel underneath the power distribution panel and look up at the sheetmetal under the distribution panel and see if you have a VIM. A black plastic box with "Allison" on it. If it is there, you...

The pic of the jumper is here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?108761-Oops-I-won-an-m1088-tractor/page5 I also was wondering if you had the right relays with the right voltages in the right sockets. If yours is an older truck, it is easy to put the wrong voltage relay into the wrong...

First thought is the thermal switch in the starter is bad. In another thread is a pic of the bypass I did. S&S was aware of the issue and had done a similar jumper wire at the starter itself. Mine was easier. :) IF your truck has a 3116 engine, there are no computers to keep the engine from...
