Hi from Massachusetts.

Hi from Tisbury, nice looking truck.

If you can get a good used one and a controller, it is a good way to add another gear. I have a 93 G-30 van with a 6.2 and 4L80, works fine. If I stop using the van, that tranny will probably end up in one of my CUCVs. The gear splitter is an interesting concept, not that I would go for the...

If you are talking MEP's ''real KWs'', not max output claims on 3600 RPM box store stuff, 5 KW runs my house. (have test run house as load with both 002 and 802.) That includes the 240V well pump, oil burner, dishwasher, laundry, fridge , freezer, couple window ACs, etc. Some load management...

An alternative to welding is using rivets and 3M 08115 body panel adhesive. Cut out all the rust, cut down repair panel so there is about a 2 inch overlap. Grind overlapping parts to bare metal. Secure in with Cleaco fasteners to check fit. Apply and spread adhesive on both overlapping...

If the truck is mostly rust free, and you like it and have test driven it, buy it. I would not pay that much if it has looming rust problems.

Just a heads up that the 017 & 018 are both loud and thirsty 3600 rpm gasoline burners. They will cost a lot more to run, per hour, than their newer diesel (or older gasoline 1800 rpm). Could be a good project, thought you should know before you invest a lot. Still have an 018 out in the...

Since you asked for thoughts..guesses.. I doubt it is the cam. Most likely something wrong with the IP, its plumbing, or some other fuel delivery issue.

So you have to have apps in the cloud to know your speed? Relying on someone's tracking system? Oh heck. I'll leave it at that for now.

If the dash cover is grey, it is also 'kind of original' as this is what the govt replaced all their cracked originals with, if you don't want to bother with the paint.

I got one (I think) from LMC years ago(around $300). It only fit OK and the foam outgassed with a chemical smell for a long time, actually fogged the windshield. After that experience, I have just bought the dash pad covers (around $100) and glued them on to the old pad. This works and fits...

Yeah, they used regular metal tubing for generations of auto trannys, it is inexpensive sock tubing and does let out some heat.

Welcome from the glacier remains to the east of you.

I think you should not be giving electrical advice as an admitted 'newbie'. Grounding advice for gen sets can be a can of worms. By the way, if you think the people on the Stak generator forum who were trying urge you to be careful and answer your questions 'were being mean', you have a...

I have a couple torque multipliers which work well. The first is a Powerdyne unit that was used for M-60s. This goes up 700 ft #s and has a gauge. It cranks up with a 3/8 ratchet. The other is from the Robotool kit that was used on Bradleys. This one has a torque limiter that causes it...

Try replacing the flasher unit on the fuse box. To test, swap the upper (4way) flasher with the lower(turn flasher) and see if it solves the problem.

CUCVs have a thermal clutch also, as do all 6.2s in chevy trucks I have seen.

Fan clutch should have some resistance, but you should be able to move it all the way around with very little force. Worst case scenario; it fails and sends the fan though your radiator.

I remember reading somewhere that Canada had some M-1010s in military service until recently. Perhaps some of the details were different. If it came from the US, it probably has a military registration number stenciled somewhere.

How about pictures of the whole truck? I see a 6.5L emblem, so it is probably not a M-1010, unless some one has modified it.
