And also, my temp gauge isn't working, but that's not as recent. Looking for advice on both! 🙏

For me, it's this! 3 hours into a three day road trip and the volt meter started bouncing around. A fuel gauge also jumping a little. I've had an alternator leave me stranded before in this rig, so I jumped out, popped the cab, grabbed the multimeter, and started diagnostics. 1) lights on...

This seems like it's suppose to plug into.... Something? But I don't know what and I sure can't find it. Hasn't been connected for a while ..

Yeah. That's what I got. 🤷

So yeah, got one from ebay. Resistance numbers are TINY. Definitely not going to work. We do have access to a parts truck - same year m1081. I tested the TPS on it (it's stock) and the values are two orders of magnitude lower, but the range and ratios are equivalent..... I'm going to throw it...

Just got to this. Definitely this is my shifting problem. TPS is roasted. Is there a rebuild solution or do I need to buy one?

Did you put that hand pump where the stock one sits?

In this video - hydraulic power pump blowing out fluid when I press the button in to raise the tire.

Insurance is still absolutely painful to acquire. Anyone. ANYONE have advice based on recent insurance agent interaction that could help?

Oh wonderful! Thank you kind sir! I'll be doing that this weekend.

Just an update - truck is running well and driving. THANK YOU all but especially Ronmar! CTIS isn't working - all five lights are on and not blinking. I did read that means I need a new controller, which conveniently I do already have because it was one of those spare parts I wanted with me 8...

Given how long it sat between operation (7 years), I think this was a new issue. I had it idling for about 20 minutes before the air leak became obvious - essentially 60 seconds of pain at it first started idling lower and then continued down hill. I have only tried to start it twice since. But...

Well, I think we found the problem..... Pick-up line was so rotten it broke in half in my hands. We were able to isolate it because while it was obviously failing, we could still pump the engine full of fuel. We put clear hose on the return and pumped it until it was even in height with the...

So the fuel issues persist. The flapper on the primer has a moderate to shitty seal. Sanded the contact surface on the assembly where the very old and hard rubber o-ring hits with 1600g sandpaper and that helped a little bit .After 25-30 pumps fuel is finally through the separator filter and...

Sure did. I'm trying to sugar coat with "if I hadn't screwed that up I wouldn't have learned all this (from you) or gotten the spare tire off already. There's not enough power to turn over though. Checking voltage at the terminals it's 25.7. So next up is removing and cleaning all connections...
