    Cab wiring diagram - Intl s1954 1988

    I love the simplicity of these trucks. Thing is, all the wires are black. The only way you can tell which wire goes where is by the numbers printed on the wire. In my case I had a bunch of wires laying in places that were disconnected so no idea where they were supposed to go or do.

    It was a combination of burned out bulbs and bad connections between the socket and circuit board.

    ?

    I looked at an f350 single axle dump before I bought my I***. Guy wanted 7500 for it. I kid you not, there were so many holes in the dump bed if you loaded 4 tons of gravel in the thing you'd be lucky to get a ton home. I thought about offering him 750 and turning it into a project but...

    Dump tailgate hinge bent

    I bought it like this. I didn't think it would be a big deal to heat it with a torch and bend it back but even with it glowing red and a big pipe wrench and 5 ft cheater pipe I can't get it to budge. It's 1 inch plate by the way. Any advice from you smart fellas?

    Older International truck

    I was just watching a youtube video of a guy doing maintenance on his International and I believe he took a 1/2" extension and ground it to fit that lower drain plug. Edited to add, if you really can't get the drain plug out you might look into one of those fluid vacuum pump deals, run it...

    Tires, Noob questions continue

    Ok, so in your photo. That tire was made in 2019 and recapped in 2021? Yeah I totally agree, my tires are trash. I'm just trying to learn to avoid getting burned when I buy replacement tires. Thanks all!

    Interesting, code reads. DOT EM3T 3UK288 I'll attach a photo but from what Jonas said, I'm thinking these are recaps?

    Tires, Noob questions continue

    I don't know anything about truck tires, let me start there. My trucks needs a couple 11r22.5 steer tires. The tires on the truck maybe originals as the DOT date code on them is 1988, same as the year of the truck. Tires that are on it have good tread but there is cracking in the sidewalls...

    Cab wiring diagram - Intl s1954 1988

    Lol sounds about right, I've done a lot of cleaning on mine so far, replaced the hydro booster because it was leaking inside and outside the firewall. Torn out the carpet in the cab, cleaned, degreased inside. Alternator belts replaced, stretched. Flushed the power steering system, was...

    Cab wiring diagram - Intl s1954 1988

    Looks like Ebay may be my only choice at this point for a diagram. I've been searching for a few days already and can't find anything online. I'm finding stuff thats just left unplugged and I'm sure some of it goes to an air brake truck or for some option that I don't have but makes it hard to...

    Cab wiring diagram - Intl s1954 1988

    I've found 2 metal mystery boxes in the drivers footwell, next to the headlight dimmer switch and they have 3 terminals on each box. I thought they were relays but I don't recall ever seeing a 3 wire relay. 1 of the boxes was unplugged so I connected 1 (there's 2 in the vicinity) of the...

    Cab wiring diagram - Intl s1954 1988

    In the event that anyone comes along in the future.. 63 and 63a seems to be the dome light control and power, the dash switch provides ground when the knob is turned full left. I'm stumped on the cluster lights, I removed the bulb and tested both terminals and they're both grounded. I...
