What???

[Rocco]

Can someone tell me What #1 in the picture is
and #2 I think is a starter relay?
Well the problem is when I try to start the truck
There is no power going to anything now and the gauges show nothing
I will try to start it and nothing happens I turn it off and the motor will try to turn
over a couple of times and the it stops. I think it may be these things in the picture?

#2 is horn realy i think, #1 is the engine protective control box

Your problem is the # 1 engine control box. There are 2 relays inside that give you problems. The last one I bought ran about $300.00 from Memphis, or there is an article in MV mag, issue # 102 on page 100 about rebuilding the box.
If it is bad, you have to sit there and switch it back and forth untill it decides to work. When it hits, the guauges will work and then it might decide to let you start the engine. However it can kick out at any time.

Ditto to what Tom said. My PCB in my 923A2 went out and if I clicked it enough it would work every once in a while. I got my new one from John Winslow. I think it was around $200. We have complained about the bad design numerous times here on SS. Do a search and you will find our previous gripes.
