I know you can buy em that are universal fit. Just go to a construction or tractor dealership. I would suggest one that has a lock of some sort to hold it out in the off position. Some of them I have seen pull out and twist to lock. It's rare but there have been occasions where Military trucks that use these have re-started while still hot, so they went to the locking type exclusively way back when.

DBogo, have you tried cleaning your solenoid up? Often times there is nothing much wrong with it....ost guys replace them when they could fix it with a little TLC.
If your boot is worn, you can replace it with some bicycle innertube and a tye wrap or get one from these guys: http://www.fostertruck.com/dodge/ These guys have some excellet parts for 12V's BTW, Have a peek here to check your adjustment: http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/trouble..._solenoid.html |

I am in the process of setting one up on my truck if it works out right I will take pics but the cable I got was a john deere fuel shut off I will try to find the part number for you later today.

I just remembered that a guy on dtrt helped me with the idea this isnt the way I am doing it but might be something you are interested in. he used just a normal pto cable.

hmm that looks complex, once you get yours done get some pictures of it, hopefully its simpler then that setup
|
I will try to take some pics this week of mine and show you it isnt really hard I bought some 1" strap and a sleeve about the size of the cable from the do it your self store.

im trying to find the IH part numbers for the correct stuff, the p7100 dt466 trucks had a manual shutoff but i cant find the part numbers for the parts

Here's what you'll need, I'm planning on doing the same thing this weekend, where's Galway? I'm in Akron, just outside of Buffalo, towards Pembroke. If your close you can come over to the shpa and we can knock out both trucks in one weekend.
109420R2 449787C1 1686729C91 or 1680066C91 or 302710C92 371146C1 And then from a hardware store: 1- 3/8" Washer 1- #10 Machine Screw 1- 7/16" x 28 nut 1- #8 x 32 set screw Now where all these parts go, I don't know yet, I was gonna order the parts and piece them together myself... I was hoping to find the plate and everything that would be on the pump, but no such luck. There is also another set of part numbers I can give you, but I think that set takes a bit more fabrication, then again, I don't know how much fabbing this set of numbers takes. I was thinking you could just bolt the cable in in place of the solenoid, but from anything I've seen you can't do that. Here's to hoping. |
