Spent the day working on the problem. Purple wire was fine. We finally jumped to the positive bar with jumper cables from our pick-up and it started up...prior to the jump we were reading 13 v. for each battery (I have converted to 12 v.). I'm now going to replace a couple of the battery...

It was not turning over, just clicking. With the new relay it is sounding very robust ( the relay)

Question: Just finished the doghead modification on the starting relay, both batteries are fully charged, changed the ignition switch, have a new starter and I still can't get it to even turn over. Just the relay clicking on when I turn on the key. Any ideas?

We tried for weeks to get the heater to work but no luck! If you get yours going let us know what you did. I've had my 1010 for three years and still can't figure that heater out!

I appreciate all the good advice! Since this is just a camping out issue I don't think that a block heater would be applicable. I do carry a generator and charger in the ambulance. Just another quick question, could elevation be any factor in this? I know the older carburetor gas vehicles...

Glow plugs are new, just was a little rough getting started.

We spent the weekend checking out our elk hunt units in northern Arizona. Our campsite was at 9000 feet and it froze during the night. Our M1010 started up after it warmed up in the morning but my question is our hunt starts Dec.. 7th and it will be considerably colder, probably in the teens...

After months of searching for a lower hose I found one here. Not cheap ($58) but it was the right one. I had called everyone including GM and no one had the right hose. The cross reference number does not work. I explained what I was looking for and they had them.M35 For Sale. Deuces for...

We went to Mt. Lemmon this morning, a mountain range just north of Tucson, and as has happened numerous times in the past, when we are about 7500 to 8000 feet in elevation my 4WD indicator light begins flashing and then comes on for about 5 minutes before it goes out. I am on dry pavement and...

Keep posting pictures of what you are doing, I'm getting ready to upgrade the rear of mine. We use it mainly for camping and hunting. I have converted from 24V to 12V, eliminating the DUVAC system, and also a push button manual glow plug activator. Getting rid of the DUVAC was the best thing...

Has anyone tried the rapid-start glow plugs? Dennis

OH NO! Well, maybe it will be safe when the New World Order Zombies take over!

I paid $20 for Commercial Vehicle tags for my M1010. In Arizona any truck over 3/4 ton is considered a commercial vehicle. Dennis

Painted on the side of my M101A2 is NWO KUX. Any ideas what that stands for? Dennis

Well I hope you see me driving around tomorrow. Having hard time getting that ignition to snap back in. Looks like its lined up right but....oh well, done for the night try it tomorrow. Like to see your new rig, give me a call. Dennis
