Beat me to it. I couldn’t have explained it any better than that

Looks like all the ones I’ve seen. The only difference I see is maybe an extra wire coming off the back battery. I’m not close to a truck to check right now, but if my memory is right, stock there was only 2 wires/cables to that terminal, not 3. I would guess it’s just for an accessory that has...

I don’t personally use battery tenders on my cucvs because they get used often, but my cousin has a m1028 and a m1009 and he uses 2 12v tenders on each and my grandfather uses 2 12v tenders on his m1009

Ok, thanks for letting me know that. I guess it just surprised me to see a plastic piece like that on there and I just assumed it wasn’t as good. Thanks for the help, it’s always much appreciated

Well I tested it and it tested bad. Got a new one, installed it, and the truck fired right up. It looks like at some point in time someone had replaced the factory one with a cheap, lightweight, plastic cased one. I replaced it with a Napa st85. Thanks for the help and advice

I haven’t yet, I’ll be over at the shop where I keep the truck this evening to test it

It was intermittent for a few weeks and now it doesn’t seem to be working at all. The dash volt meter does work and it doesn’t shift at all when I’m pressing the button anymore

Ok, thanks. I’m hoping I can get my cousin to help me when he gets home from work, if not I’ll just do what you said

Ok, thanks. I’ll check that tomorrow when I’m at the shop and will report back

I replaced the glow plugs in my truck a couple months ago and it was working great until recently. I‘m thinking my problem could be the glow plug solenoid, but wanted to check here first before spending the money for one. What it’s doing now is I can hear the solenoid click when I press the...

The supposed story behind my mighty mite, I don’t know if it’s 100% true or not, is that a local guy brought it back from Vietnam in pieces, without the motor, with him and when he got home he just put it in his old chicken house with the intention of reassembling it eventually. He never...

I’ll put my mighty mite in for this month. This one actually has a vw 1.6 non turbo diesel in it. The original engine was missing when it was purchased originally from the govt by a friend.

Here’s some more pictures of the ambulance as requested

Maybe, I do a lot of events/shows in Delaware, but travel around to some other, farther away, shows too. I only take a couple vehicles though, I couldn’t imagine transporting more than 5 or 6 to a show. Around here we have a group of guys with military vehicles and we do a lot of local parades...

The previous owner did the conversions, he made an adapter plate for both, machined the input shafts on the transmissions, fabricated motor mounts, mounted the radiator, and did all the wiring to make them run and all the light work. He is really good with projects like that and is a big vw...
