    Jerry Can Tool Box

    Here's a video I found on YouTube about it. Looks cool, might have to get one for my Sub. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0JgzjCvKYk Later

    Dealing with a wreck

    Best advice I can give you... stop talking about details on here until you have an attorney and he has gotten all he needs from all the witnesses he needs to. You don't need anyone figuring out what your game plan is until the game is over. While I would love to hear a blow-by-blow of what's...

    m1010 batteries dieing

    Ok, that gets it closer. The door could have been swapped at some point, so the under hood configuration is a good indication.

    m1010 batteries dieing

    Why do you think your truck is a 1010 if it has a bed, no AC and normal interior?

    Wiring a lightbar

    Well, that's for a fully loaded bar, with like 12 strobe heads in it. A typical draw on my bar is like 10 with four strobes and 10 halogens (4 front, 4 rear, 2 alleys). I don't think I break 20 with the whole bar lit up like a christmas tree. LOL

    Wiring a lightbar

    The Edge series has a main power and ground cable, then a control cable with lots of small gauge wires for controlling the different functions of the bar.

    Wiring a lightbar

    The Edge 9000 doesn't need a relay on the 40A feed, it goes into the bar and is distributed by the relays inside. Only reason to put one in would be to have a master switch that cuts the feed. What I did was take a 12V junction off of a junk CUCV and bolt it to the firewall, and then ran a 4GA...

    That'll buff out... :-D

    M1031 PTO information

    Since it's so hard to find in one place, here is what I've gathered from some research into the M1031 PTO, and what is needed when you add a PTO to the NP205. The standard issue PTO is a Muncie TG series PTO with a 1.8:1 drive ratio. The part number for the PTO is a TG6S-N7018-C2BT For people...

    M1008 Broke another Transfer Case Adapter

    To check for frame squareness, measure from crossmember to crossmember in an X going from opposite corners. It's not easy to do on the ground, but certainly possible. You really only need to check in two or three places to tell. Later

    M1008 Broke another Transfer Case Adapter

    x2 on the bent driveshaft... if it's bent, at high speeds it's bouncing like a jumprope under the truck and WILL break things. I would also take wheelbase measurements on both sides to see if they match. Dogtracking can be caused by several different things, but that's a good place to start. Later

    M1010 DUVAC Removal Plan "B"

    I would almost be tempted to just replace the two alternators with a pair of the 160 amp 12Vs and rewire the truck like a standard CUCV. Then you would have a predictable system, and full amperage available for the ambulance box... I can't find any reason not to do it that way. Any other...

    Colorado to CA/NV

    I'm possibly going to Barstow and then to Reno and back to Colorado Springs over the 4th of July weekend. I have a 1 ton and a 20' flatbed hauler that I can take on the trip. Will be coming back with a truck from Reno, so only parts for that leg, but would be going west empty, and north from...

    Need opinions on transmission choice

    Well, getting to where I'm slinging up is going to be nicer with an overdrive. LOL I'm either going 4L80 or 4500... just a matter of which route. This wrecker will be for me personally, and occasionally moving stuff for friends. I have no plans to make money with it, so it's just going to be...

    Need opinions on transmission choice

    Ok, I'm building my 1008 into a wrecker and am looking for opinions on which transmission to go with. I need a PTO port to drive the bed, but I have a 1008 without one. So I've been hunting for a 205, and haven't had much luck. An opportunity to pick up a diesel 4L80E complete with standalone...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Lookin' good. [thumbzup] Word of warning on that tire carrier, heavy tires and especially adding a full fuel can can cause the sheetmetal to fatigue and if you let it swing freely it WILL kink the corner so be careful with it.

    205 swap in a 1008

    Thinking of having a shop professionally mount it. This bed came off of a 70s Ford, so I don't know what brackets are missing and/or would need to be fabricated. I'm not opposed to the extra work to put the 5 speed in there. I think I'm going to try to go that route for the granny first and...

    205 swap in a 1008

    Got the bed. Paid $350 for it as it sits. Bed is kind of beat up but the boom assembly is complete and seems to work fine without being able to test it on a PTO. Managed to lose the PTO end of the driveshaft on the trip home, must have bounced out of the bed, but everything else is there, chain...

    205 swap in a 1008

    Well, the deal I had on the 205 fell through, and the wrecker bed disappeared before I could move on it... BUT With every cloud, there's a silver lining. A Holmes 480 bed for dirt cheap appeared early this week and I'm picking it up tomorrow. Like, scrap price dirt. So... I'm still hunting for...

    Manual Glow Plug Install

    You have an 84 Chevy K30, not a CUCV? That's why it's different. The CUCV system is unique.
