Dave Yeah it’s possible. If motor shorted out and they kept trying to make it go. I did and it cost me a motor and controller rebuild. HOWEVER: First thing to do,before you do anything else is to pull the motor and check for Stuck brushes. Rodney ---

What control would I expect? T3-T4 Will this program for more speed like my 2008 T3 in Tomberlin? My Tomberlin came set at 225 and could be changed to 255. If I need a new controller, I’ll have a choice, I guess. ---

T4 controller Wheel bearings are common problem Ebay can supply - do all 4 corners - do all 4 brake cylinders. If brake cables are tight PM me they can be salvaged, although they are not that expensive. The bushing I sell are for version I shocks. ---

Pretty sweet. Nicer than the 2010 truck. Batteries are old but up. Code 66. Field current high. Hope it’s an easy fix. Field = 1.5 ohms-no leakage. Probably just a minor control problem. Lucky to have a spare truck to swap parts and readings. It actually moved a foot before tripping, so it’s better than expected. ---

The field usually doesnt give trouble. How about the armature. Mine move too before it blew the control. ---

It’s in the control. Looking good so far. I see a part that seems shorted. Never Know until it’s removed from circuitry. I’ve been fooled before!😕 Overall, T4 seem pretty easy to work on. If only schematics were available.☹ ---

Just looked E4 has 7hp motor. Does control say 5hp? I think I can fix it. ---

Looks like parts should be in tomorrow. Haven’t done much else. Not going to bother switching controllers until I see if it’s an easy fix. Meanwhile I spent all afternoon working on another EV. Trying to get “new batteries” to come back after abuse. Rebuilding 24v controller. ---

You want to take a shot at m T1? ---

I’ll give it a shot. Least I can do. Symptoms are, dumps data on power loss? Otherwise it’s ok? It will come in with no data. Correct? I can load a few things and see if it dumps for me. Then I’ll know when it’s fixed. Wouldn’t mess with EEPROM or processor. If it’s the 5v supply issue, I’d have a shot. I’d hate to cost you more money by opening it up. There is a limited amount I can check without inside information. Got lucky on mine! Anyone with a 66 error let me know. There is a T2 on ebay for $400. Is that less than flat rate FSPI repair? ---

This E4 is turning out to be a sweet deal.🙂 Motor is ok, controller is working. Loose front wheel was just loose nut. 2012 trojan gels are working fine. Charger is fine. Heater problem was disconnected hoses. Lights needed a few wiring tweaks and a bulb. Brand new stock tires and wheels. Utility box is like new. All four doors work good. A little rust on front suspension and a few minor battle scars on fenders. Over all looks good. Not much else it needs! ---

Congrats… sounds like a nice truck. We have to get a good one now and them to make up for all the losers we buy. Your turn for a good one!
