I fully expect Joe is correct in his assumption of the switch being bad, we too find bad switches OFTEN. They are notorious for giving problems, and the later style push button electronic switches are even worse.

Got some recent news to share; season II premiers on Friday, Jan 5,2018 at 9PM on the Pursuit channel. This is channel 604 on Direct TV, channel 393 on Dish TV. Each episode will replay the following week on Wed at 5PM, and on Thurs at 3:30PM, so this is 3 opportunities to catch the show weekly. I e...

Different subject, however lubricant related; we have seen very positive results. We have been using AMSOIL 50 weight long run transmission oil in trans and t/case for several years also. Cooler running temp in summer conditions for the t/case, cold weather operation better at start up, significantl...

We have changed over to AMSOIL products several years ago. Royal Purple dropped several products from their line in what seemed to be an effort more geared to the industrial market over the automotive side. Certain products got hard to get, certain ones no longer existed and this prompted our change...

Those are the early mil-spec ones, old technology these days.

The LED units used in the later trucks, such as the 900 series are a big improvement over sealed beams, however we have found the Truck-Lite units are way better. More up to date technology, electronics change fast, something different and better could hit the market next week, that is the unknown. ...

My 24V 100W low/130W high H4 halogen lamps in Bosch housings eat LED headlights for lunch... I'm lucky AZ DOT doesn't inspect such things... PoW Current draw is huge with halogen. Needs vary, as I've said many times, to each his own. You know, whatever floats your boat. Have you used any correctly ...

Ok, I'm curious, what type of LED's are you guys using and where did you purchase them? We use Truck-Lite headlights, 27270C-M best technology we have found and they fit the housing well. As far as park, tail, and clearance lights go, military composite lights are available in LED, so that is the c...

I put the military LED headlights in my M-151 and I love them. It took a little bit to get them adjusted, I would get my GMRS radios out and give one to a friend and we would go out on a dark road, him at one end and me at the other and drive towards each other. If they were blinding him I made adj...

I remove the drums because I'm old and getting frail. It just makes it a ton easier to press in and out the bearing cups alone when all I am dealing with is the hub. I do make damn sure to mark the location and orientation for the drum to the hub. (And my drum screws come out nice and easy so it is...

LED's are actually the best all around lamps, I understand what you are saying and to each his own. I learned a few pointers quickly when we started to use then in our rebuilt trucks, they MUST be installed and aimed correctly in order to compliment the driver and oncoming traffic. I totally get tha...

Give me a call, I can help a lot right over the phone. Of course I know nothing concerning techniques the shop you are using have in mind, so not passing judgment on them. I have seen some real screw ups done by such service outlets of this type who really don't have a clue about M Series trucks, ye...

The early style light fixtures have always had this problem, almost every one we open up has serious interior rust going on. All the trucks we build here get either the later style M Series composite lights or some other type lighting for clients who do not care about all the mil spec lighting funct...

Hi All, I have not had much time to spend on forums in a while as we are FAR behind with work. I did want to take this opportunity to wish all a Happy and blessed Thanksgiving. It is a time to reflect on all our daily blessings. I for one have a LOT to be thankful for, LIFE IS GOOD!

Experience speaking, Lockers of any kind are not a good idea in a front axle, PERIOD. We have installed them at customers request, but not without a heart to heart talk about what is to be expected first. ARB air lockers are the best to use if you can't live without it in the front, as these can be ...
