    12/24V Switchover Relay - How does it work?

    Looks like there is a major error in the FSM diagram I posted - the starter battery does NOT connect to chassis ground, it only connects to ground via the 12/24 relay. When the relay is off, LH- is connected to chassis. When the relay is on, LH- is connected to RH+, thus putting them in series...

    12/24V Switchover Relay - How does it work?

    Hi Everyone, Could someone explain to me how exactly the 12/24V relay works based on the FSM wiring diagram. As far as I can tell from the diagram: 1. + from the LH battery connects to the first (left hand) terminal on the 12/24 switchover relay and directly to terminal C on the starter 2. -...

    Steering Problems After Lift and Frame Reinforcement

    Thank you both! The wire to the solenoid got ripped out of the connector. Fixed it and added strain relief, it’s fine now!

    Steering Problems After Lift and Frame Reinforcement

    I believe so, at least based on the parts diagram for my year, there should be a pressure control valve solenoid. no, when the wheels are off the ground, steering is fine I got an alignment done, but no change on the steering stiffness. The truck came with lift and radius arm drop brackets...

    Steering Problems After Lift and Frame Reinforcement

    How can you tell if they are damaged? There is no play in the tie rod ball joints and they seem to move smoothly.

    Steering Problems After Lift and Frame Reinforcement

    Did the flush, steering remained the same - I am still getting only 50% of the steering boost I should be (by feel)

    Steering Problems After Lift and Frame Reinforcement

    I had to do a pretty significant adjustment to the drag link length to competent for the plate and the lift, probably an extra 10-12 mm, to center the steering wheel again. I will do the flush tonight and report back

    Steering Problems After Lift and Frame Reinforcement

    I will try removing it - I keep on forgetting that you can drive with out it (shouldn’t, but can)

    Steering Problems After Lift and Frame Reinforcement

    Added photos to the original post. The reinforcement kit is basically the same as the Delta one here I also just added some fresh atf to top it off to the highest “cold” level and noticed a marked improvement in steer boost. Going to flush the system tomorrow with hydraulic oil, hopefully...

    Steering Problems After Lift and Frame Reinforcement

    So I am having more steering problems after installing new shocks, springs, adjustable panhard, Dobinson adjustable steering damper, and a steering box frame reinforcement kit (I moved the steering box aside but didn't disconnect it when I installed the kit). 1. Tough steering - feels almost...

    Alignment and Steering Wheel Question

    I have an RHD and I rotated the bar towards the back, which lengthened the rod and turned the wheel left (which makes sense, since lengthening the rod pushes put the left wheel, and which of course drags the right one with it)

    Alignment and Steering Wheel Question

    I already have drop brackets for the radius arms, so my caster shouldn't be _that_ bad (although somewhat off of course), and I centered the axle to the body with the adjustable panhard

    Alignment and Steering Wheel Question

    Just finished installing new suspension and lift, including new front shocks, springs, adjustable panhard, and steering stabilizer, and now my alignment is (obviously) way off, including the steering wheel being about 130 degree off center (wheels face forward, steering wheel is almost a full...

    Parking Brake Light Stays On?

    Thank you! I'll check it out. EWD also indicates that on an 1HD-FT, the e-brake light on the dash is also triggered by "Vacuum switch (Brake)". Any idea what and where that is?

    Parking Brake Light Stays On?

    Just finished installing a major suspension upgrade and 4" lift (new shocks, springs, upper and lower control arms, adjustable panhards, a rear panhard raise bracket, SLEE extended brake lines, steering box frame reinforcement, and steering stabilizer), and now the parking brake light does not...

    Help Identifying Panhard Bar and Bushings

    My HDJ81 came from Japan with an after-market dual-side adjustable panhard bar and a drop bracket. Can anyone identify the brand / model of this panhard bar so I can double check bushing size and determine if I can use an OEM bushing. My caliper measurement shows 38 mm ID, while I understand...
