I believe the box is the same for the two models. The basic truck should be like the M35's, so the M35A1 would match up with the M109a2 and the M35a2 would match up with a M109a3. With all the different retofitting the military did over the years on these trucks anything is possable. With that...
This is what I did: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?68461-M1010-Electrical-Drain-on-front-Batt .
papakb, I saw that unit also, does the pulsing part work without the solar panel? and is there a continuos draw from the batteries?
Just thinking this would be great for the M35a2 to...
Just an update:
Still using the batteries that came with the truck. The charging system is working great. The only issue now is operator error, sometimes the wife forgets to turn the light switch to off. I found what the drain is if its left on, a relay is energized to operate the roof mount...
I had the same thing a few years ago and found the ground wire going to the fender from the blinker box had a open inside the rubber casing. Everything looked fine until I started to bend the wire and found the break. Striped the ground wire at the break and reconnected it. Now it works like it...
My work has just started sensitivity training for everyone. I for one don't think it will help matters it will be just quiter.
After trying to follow the rules here, I think I have a head start on it. Yea I still can get a hot head on things I've just learned to try to keep it to myself and...
I agree with using a truck that is heavier to do the towing. I flat towed a M1010 from Austin TX to Denver CO using a Med Tow Bar. I disconnected the driveshaft and unlocked the steering with the transfer case in N. With that box on the back of the M1010 I was having a heck of a time with the...
I did the same thing with removing the rivets trying to find what was up. The yellow gear in the case looked ok but no speedo cable movement with it attached to the adaptor or directly to the case. the yellow gear was square on the end the cable goes into but was slightly stripped, you can't...
Matt saved me alot of $$$$ with his info on my M35a2. If it can be registered as a collecters truck 1975 and older your in luck. The rules can be hard to understand, the workers at the DMV have a hard time understanding them too. Hopefully You will get someone who has done it before and knows...
I got red, black and yellow battery cable wires. The red is 24volt positive tied to the buss bar on the fire wall. The black is for ground and is also tied to the buss bar gound terminal. The yellow is between both batteries for the 12 volt feed. I then ran wire from the lower alt to the upper...
I know this is old but I got good news. No I still have the M1010.
I still need to replace the batteries but I went with the 100amp equalizer and removed all the Duvac wiring. In removing the ducav components I found the duvac was not like the one in the wiring diagrams, mine only had 3 post...
OK this is what I know on NSN:
The first 4 digits is the Federal Supply Class
The next 2 is for Country of Origin “00” and “01” is for USA
The last 7 digits is the Unique Number
Both the country of origin and the Unique Number together is
called the NIIN or the national item identification...
Fording is driving though deep water. as long as your vents, exhaust end and air intake is above the water line you should be good to go. Splashing water as long as its not deep would be fine. As with anything do PMCS to make sure water has not entered anywhere that may give you issues down the...
