Got some shackles and after reading about how they sometimes like to go missing I came up with a solution for making them a little harder to remove... tap hole and slight countersink with small stainless cap screws. will keep dedicated screwdriver with recovery gear when done. Probably dab some...

I too found the rear wires were not as per diagram... had a lot of cleaning up to do as well as tapping in to turn signal feed for reusing some of the aftermarket lights that were on my rig in the rear (holes were cut so I am stuck with em)

roughing out cooking setup so since there wes nothing behind the side hatch on my m1010 when I got it (other than a crudely installed water pump that fed from the 150gallons of water storage the FD put in) I figured it was the right size to put a cook stove pullout and after some brainstorming...

Nice to see the dash again! Did you go through the trouble of hooking up a reference tach to tune the vdo? Also the dual voltmeter looks like the same one as mine, the first on I got was off but the second one was good, might want to double check with a dvm to save for some headaches.

more progress in the cab and pics Edit: Forgot i had not put the door solenoid pics in here (in case anyone wants to know how easy they go...) Again, the cheapo kit off of ebay. Came with two wireless fobs but I have a different alarm system so I do not want anything else being able to activate...

I was going to post in my own thread but saw this post was happening so figured I would share a couple of pics of something I found on a civi 6.2 in the junkyard. Looks aftermarket and fairly cheap but it would easily press on to my air cleaner and after reading the thread it looks like it might...

new dash skin and more electronics I am trying to get so many electrical details done before I start using it.... not done by any means but here are some pictures. drilled some new holes in the roof for dashcam, alarm, and auxiliary camera system. Dashcam I purchased was a Yi rearview mirror...

so I finished dialing the brightness by adding some resistance on the bulbs that go to the tach and trans temp gauge. I ended up using 50 ohms on the VDO tach and ~5 ohms on the trans. Also used the blue gel light filters but cut the tips off to try and give enough white to match stock. I should...

Some new pics slow going on the progress but it's going. I am at the tailend of a stud and head gasket job on my 6.5T work truck... ugh. Anyways, while the work truck is down I have been happy to get to drive the rig around and I have made progress in the dash area so I thought Id put up some...

That is it, old one was 12v direct drive and new one is 12v gear reduction. Thankyou! As far as the uphill thing goes I am almost convinced it is fuel tank/pickup related (cracked tube or bad baffle) that might lower the pressure to the ip? Not sure but with so much on my plate it will be a...

Okay, I know it has been a while but I have been really busy trying to get my work truck (6.5TD)back together... H.G job and a little bit of deck repair on the block :( Here is a sneak peek at the dash and gauges before I put the top bezel on along with a question or two. So I swapped the...

Coastal Auto Shipping was the shipping co, based in Fl so it started local for them.... they were very competitive and I do not have any complaints aside from the lack of communication as far as arrival date, it came MUCH earlier than I anticipated and threw me for a loop when I got the call to...

I just spent 10 minutes making calls and surfing the web and can not find the proper 4 belt pulley. Being that I am only using one I am tempted to try the one that they have at Saturn Surplus but that one is a 3 belt and the diameters are different as well so I may try and source the right one...

thankyou for the links! I do have the TMs downloaded but had not seen the colored ones, printing those out now! Looks like I will be modifying that blockoff plate! I tore into things last night and while complicated I am going to tb pretty happy with how it all turns out. I will take some...

So I had some more time to put into getting it up to snuff. Swapped out the harmonic balancer, glad I did, I felt no play and the front looked pretty good but the back was starting to get plenty of warning cracks in the rubber. Also the biggest leak that I can tell is the front oil seal which I...

Thanks for the replies, new balancer is on order as well as the seal. And hopefully the color will go back to green soon but I am focused on mechanics first. One more thing is that I hope I posted this in the right spot on this site..?

Ahh, not sure if I should make an edit or just add this post but one issue I am unsure uf is the glowplug operation. I have read conflicting bits and find on this vehicle (12v conversion) that the card is working but only turns on when it is "cold" I would like to have it turn on at a bit higher...

Excited new M1010 Owner Hello all, I am excited to say the least about my new ambulance.... I have been lurking and reading a lot and there is such a wealth of information here I am very grateful to everyone who contributes and am now ready to ask and contribute some things on my project. I...
