    CUCV Trailer Wiring

    I used a test light, when I did mine it seemed like there were errors in the drawing - or maybe I was looking at it backwards. But with a test light you know it will work.

    CUCV Trailer Wiring

    I was able to locate a miltary trailer extension wire on ebay. It had both male and female connections. Cut it a foot or so from the end and connected the needed wires to flat 4 civillian connector. Total cost was probably $35. Now if I ever get a military trailer I can make another adapter with...

    got my new m1008 (need key asap)

    All you need to do is go to your local chevy dealer with proof of ownership, such as the invoice fro GL, pay them to make a new key. They can look up the code, even though they are all the same. It will only cost about $6.

    Does it have the bracket that attaches the back of the starter to the block?

    Civilian pump to CUCV?

    Do the parking lights on the front work (not the left and right marker lights)? It looks like they are powered by the same wire as the taillights. If the front ones work I would suspect the bulbs in the taillights first. The wiring diagrams are found in the TM 9-2320-289-20, which can be found...

    Did you check for voltage on both sides of the glow plug relay? Should be 12V when the wait light is on.

    Better12v Solenoid and glow plug power supply

    Hmm. I do see where if the batteries are very weak with the jumper they may not get 12V. But I think that you would still see enough to "warm" them up. But I agree that it would not be 12V, it would be something less. On the upside though every other civilian system would now be able to jump...

    Better12v Solenoid and glow plug power supply

    The glow plugs are 12V. The resistor does drop it to 12 when the circuit is complete with good glow plugs. He is right, and you are. The down side that I see is that now only 1 battery is supplying the current to the glow plugs. However, the resistor "wastes" the same amount of energy as the...

    CD-10516 6cyl?

    You really can't trust those listings to be very accurate. They sometimes put the wrong pictures, wrong VIN, wrong model, you name it. If you bid without inspecting first you really don't know what you are getting.

    new look for my 1031,

    I am guessing that he took the fenders, hood and wheels off the civy truck and put them on the MV.

    Spin on fuel filter mod going bad

    Did you also open the vent (if it has one)? If not that is why nothing comes out.

    M1009 recovery

    The tires may not be that bad. Any chance you can go and look at the truck before you buy tires? If you bring an air tank with you, you may be able to just fill that low tire up and at least take it to a tire store for a new tire if needed.

    Since the fuel pressure switch is not really used, you will never miss it.

    Shipping parts to other countries

    If your customer has an APO he is likely in the Army or a US civilian. APO addresses are sent through the US mail. Therefore you could get shipping confirmation or anything else the US Post Office offers. This is still a different country though. I don't know if this would violate the EUC. I...
