Updated my pictures, thanks for letting me know.
So there has been a general reluctance on my part to do this, worried about the effects of wiring it wrong and the last couple of weekends did not have a lot of time. Today I took the time to try and put my planned wiring into line with the...
Progress Report - Question on Wires
Here is my original bracket:
Here is where I am fitting a bracket I made to hold the relay box:
Here is a test fit of the new relay box, fits pretty well.
Now, I would like to clarify somethings before I cut and solder up the new box.
1)...
OK. Have to admit, most everything I found was for horn, headlights or fuel relay updates, so taking a shot at it, this is what I have for TECA
pin 30 - yellow (battery power)
pin 87 - solid red (feed to TECA and solenoid)
pin 86 - red with light-green stripe
pin 85 - ground
pin 87a is...
So, I might need help, but here is what I am planning on doing. Since they should have the same number/type of wires, I was going to cut off existing pigtail and join to the new box, wire by wire. This works to an extent except that one of the existing relays in my truck I think has 4 terminals...
Ok. Didn't have much selection, but ended up with I believe the 40 70. Since the original two were just hanging down, I do not know which one is which, which one takes 40 which one take 70?
So try and get the truck moving again, sprayed it all down with crc electrical cleaner, seemed to take some residue off but did not actually remove the corrosion.
How do you all get the contacts cleaned up? Different compound? Sandpaper?
Thanks,
David
Thanks for the info. I like the idea of going to newer relay cubes since I will need to rewire the pigtails anyway ... can I just go to parts yard and grab any relay holder box that has enough slots and wire it in or?
So, while researching another issue, think I may have found out via a youtube video that I have a bad glow plug, but wanted to run it by you guys first. This is my first diesel so I am still discovering things, so if I say something dumb, let me know and I will learn for next time.
When the...
Drove truck home after running errands for a couple of hours, truck was fine, no warning or anything of something going on with trans. Left house, starting driving and realized transmission was not running right. Then noticed tach was not working, and so it began. Limped home, literally and...
Just realized I had not updated this one when I came back with a new one. My back ended up getting best of me, had a shop finish. Here is where we ended up:
1) Axle out - DONE
2) Hub off - DONE
3) Outside wheel bearing - DONE
4) Axle seal - DONE
5) Bearings/Races - DONE
6) Hub - DONE
7)...
I should have asked earlier, any tricks on getting to the rabs valve? I have a bad shoulder, scrunching up to get into there from behind the wheel is not feeling so good.
so truck been sitting with me not working on it. saw a new leak today, leaking where the axle comes out of the differential...
now my question is this: while looking at that, my eyes traced the brake line, up from the wheel to a 4 way connection. one to front, one to drivers side rear...
79jasper - The wheel cylinder was on the truck for more than a week and no leaking until I started mucking around today, I probably caused the leak I guess.
Ruger_556 - Bit too late. I had read on quite a few forums that people were packing them in grease, and saw some that werent. Eons ago...
cpdenton - That tool looks nice, wish I had known sooner...
79jasper - That is a good idea, will try that next time if just doing the shoes. This time, had to do the wheel cylinder also as the old one was leaking.
The master cylinder is brand new and wasnt leaking until I finished the...
1) Axle out - DONE
2) Hub off - DONE
3) Outside wheel bearing - DONE
4) Axle seal - DONE
5) Bearings/Races - DONE
6) Hub - DONE
7) Axle Reinstalled - DONE
8) Brakes - DONE - BUT WAIT - Got the brakes put back in, springs in, there has to be an easy way for those spring but I sure don't...
Thanks for the reply, I am working my way through this.
I figured out the nut issue finally, everyone was trying to sell me the one for the dana rear end, not the sterling. Part was hard to find, ended up costing me close to $50.
I just finished getting the bearing cups out of the hub...
Thanks for the quick reply. I dont think it was me, but is possible I did not secure it well enough when pulling it off. I have never had it off, never done this before, so your memory has been pretty good so far...
I put the axle up to the hub, I am not certain there is any contact...
