Dmurph2016 Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 On 7/13/2021 at 5:43 PM, Joey Mack said: since its a CL.... there are 5 roof lights, 3 holes each, an air horn or 2 with airline hole and mount bolt holes, 1 factory antenna, 5 pairs of sun visor nutserts, and windshield seals. several places for rain to get in... Just my 2 cents.... Jojo It doesn’t look like rain is getting in from up top, but it could be running down the seal and then they just happens to be the lowest point. I’ll have to keep al eye on it.

I’ve dried out the cab and the trucks just been sitting, haven’t had a chance to investigate further. But good chance the water is causing the issues Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67067-are-these-2-issues-related/page/4/#findComment-477217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 OK.... door seals? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67067-are-these-2-issues-related/page/4/#findComment-477218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I just had another thought...... Is the cab rusted under the valence panel below the wind shields? look at the underside of the panel , the best you can..... its only about 8 T-25 screws to pull it off, just keep a check on the washer hoses... no biggie... jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67067-are-these-2-issues-related/page/4/#findComment-477219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doorseals could be a good possibility, water seems to pool up a little in the bottom of the seal when it rains. 12 hours ago, Joey Mack said: I just had another thought......

It’s almost august and I haven’t been able to put it to work yet. At this point I think I’m just going to wait until next year and try again. Undecided at the moment.

I gotta call safelite and see what they are going to do, as I know it certainly wasn’t happening before the windshield was replaced. The good thing is at the end of all this I’ll sure I’m gonna know this truck inside and out!

Dmurph2016 Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Anything specific that I should do to the truck? It’s going to sit until springtime. Im assuming I’ll want something to keep rodents out. And start it every so often, when it gets cold I’ll have to put an additive in the tanks as it’s summer fuel in them. edit* appears it’s possible I have a rodent in the truck, I set a trap and orderd some repellent pouches to put around the truck/ engine.

Dirtymilkman Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Your cluster lights and issues sound like a bad printed circuit board to me. They were pretty common to go bad. If you gently lift on the plug on the back of the speedo, your lights may come on. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67067-are-these-2-issues-related/page/4/#findComment-477999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be working fine now, but I won’t know as I’m going to have the truck sit for the rest of this reason. Have to see how it goes in the spring of the mice/chipmunks don’t get to it!
