It's been a while since there has been any real progress on the M1010. I finally got the engine back from the machine shop. They are about 2 years behind with any engine repairs. Like most places today, can not find anyone worth a darn to work....
Anyway, the engine is back together and will be...
GM high idle solenoid for the CUCV. Not an easy to find item.
NOS and still in the GM box. I will test prior to shipping to ensure that they do work. Boxes may show signs of storage or wear.
They are not inexpensive, I know that, no need to remind me or to ask for a better price. Hard to find...

New cards with improved functions can be purchased at Hill Billy Wizard.

Thinking that the wiper motor assembly was bad, I changed it out and...
Little more progress over the weekend.
Found some unit markings on the rear of the box during the sanding job.
One coat of primer and the first coat of OD. Got the Black and Brown camo on, but didn't get pictures.
Planning on coating the roof inside with the Lizard Skin ceramic insulation this...
I have one of the kits on my M1008. Some people think it's not needed and others think it would be a good idea. My thought it's worth a try and would only be beneficial given the history of these engines with blocks and or heads failing.
I do not have any data as to it being better or worse...
This was a one time event and most likely will not be repeated.
Sadly, the person that put this Convoy together, passed away prior to the event.
The next Convoy is the Jefferson Highway. Starts in E. Grand Fork MN and finishes in New Orleans, LA. Timing is October of this year.

Clean, tight and reliable connections are essential for any high current applications. Even minor flaws will cause issues.
