Dan's M1081 Pick-up and Build

[DanM7890]

That's the same feeling I have about my M998 because I went through the whole truck taking it apart and repainting it. Now that my M998 is done I'm focusing on this one. I went by the parts store yesterday and got the o-ring, under $3 out the door and I haven't had a chance to put it in yet.

I also have to make an extension for the manual cab lift since mine is missing.

LOL, I bought that little o-ring even before I got my truck after reading that thread! My cab lift works great but I did notice last time I raised it the little mist puff come out of the hydro unit so I am keeping an eye on it... When you do yours take pics if possible for us

I remember seeing a thread about the unit and how to replace the pump seal, somewhere here before.

It's posted a couple pages back.

 

[DanM7890]

Got the seal replaced and got the cab lifted fully.

 

[DanM7890]

The fluid from the beginning must have been the hydraulic fluid dripping from the seal being broken. I traced it all the way down. I found a couple loose connections by the starter. One looks for an o2 sensor and the other I'm not sure yet.

Also what's with this white rubber stuff all over what looks to be the starter solenoid. They used a ton of it!

The O2 sensor looking part is your magnetic pickup for engine RPM measurement. Needs to be hooked up.

I have seen several starters really gooped over with silicone intended to protect the terminals.

 

[DanM7890]

That goop is EVERYWHERE haha. Thanks for the heads up NDT. I had to call it a night because it started to rain so I'll get to it tomorrow.

Curious is that magnetic pick in bell housing driver side facing forward

 

[DanM7890]

Yes it is^

 

[DanM7890]

Also that second connection is for the troop alarm switch which I don't have. It's connector P39 so that explains why it's unplugged and just sitting there.

 

[DanM7890]

Alright guys I need an aux starter solenoid. If you have one please pm me.

 

[Suprman]

I prob have one but if you have the old style starter it may just be a bad thermal switch you have to ground the negative coil lead.

 

[DanM7890]

I started on the TM and have been following it to a T. This is where I'm at and I have continuity on TL 24 & TL 26.

 

[Suprman]

Does the truck crank when you jump the 2 big terminals on the relay? When you push the start button do you have voltage going to the relay coil?

 

[DanM7890]

I have no crank right now. I have not tried jumping the two big terminals because that wasn't in the manual. Everyone told me to start following the no-start TM so that's where I started. Is there a way to bench test the solenoid, because I have it removed right now.

 

[DanM7890]

When you push the start button do you have voltage going to the relay coil?

This was one of the first steps, and surprisingly when checking voltage I had more voltage when the button is pressed than what there should be. Almost 30v which makes no sense to me. The manual just says if there's 24VDC present.

 

[Suprman]

Check all the fluids and jump the solenoid see if it cranks. While you are at it check and see if you have 24v at the fuel solenoid with the power switch.
