Thanks for your help, I will chase #21 wire from drivers side (lit) towards the passenger side tail light function (not lit). I looked over that #5 TM, very good stuff.

I got the cover on finally. But the rope was toast. So I need to get new rope. I just tired it down with regular rope for right now.

Also had to go run some errands. So I thought it would be fun the drive through some of the snow in the parking lot.

What is it about the door? Is that some sort of armor?

Thanks for your help.

Just ordered the part from ebay.$8. Thanks again I too hope some day I'm able to contribute instead of just ask questions.

Just my opinion, but by you asking stirring those who know the answer to help, by answering, you have helped folks like me who didn't even think to ask. So you did help.

trouble shot my headlights.. found i had a bad dimmer switch. yay the headlights work now; however, now the parking/marker lights wont come while the headlights run. they only come on in the parking lights position on the switch. even tried swapping it out with another switch. hmmm..

Yeah its armor.

 

[Another Ahab]

Yeah its armor.

I'm liking that.

Your work, or did you pick it up that way?

I picked it up that way. It also had an armored box in the back with a mount for a M2. I need to change out the cradle for a 1919a4. Until I get a M2

They are designed that way. They are not set up like a civy vehichle. It is a very easy mod to do to get them to work that way. I assume you have a m939? Abandon the original wire feeding the turn signal running light from the original harness. Y off the side marker light to the turn signal running light. It now comes on at the same time as the marker light. Enjoy the increased safety and visibility.

See the picture on my avatar as my lights are on.

nah... i have a 65 m52a2.
maybe ur correct, i could just be remembering things wrong. it has been a couple years and a few deployments since i messed with the truck at night. my memory isnt what it used to be, a few TBIs will mess a guy up.

@SpyderMan, looks good, even with "normal" rope! Yeah, driving over things with these trucks must be a blast.

I was hoping the snow would be frozen so I could park on top of it. No such luck. It looks ók with the regular rope. But I am looking for some super rope. A lot easier to use than regular rope.
