    Oil Pan gasket replacement

    I like to remove the starter when doing the oil pan. It just gives more room and clearance for getting the pan back in place.

    What are these?

    The silver canister is the fuel pump for the fuel fired heater in the rear of my M1010. The blue/red wire provides 24v to the fuel pump. The finned device is my Sure Power 52210 battery equalizer. It provides 100amp of 12v power from the 24v system in the M1010. The M1010 has two 24v alts and...

    Water temp guage install

    A "t" should work in theory in either location. However, if you have a temp gauge installed you really don't need the temp dummy light. Personal preference will decide how you proceed. I would (and have) install(ed) the gauge and leave the dummy light disconnected. Very true! Good to hear!

    Water temp guage install

    Not sure if OP meant passenger or driver side, I was going by the color code of wires and general location he mentioned. The sensor with yellow and black wires is definitely the temp sensor for the glow plug circuit and fast idle/cold advance. Personally, I would not T off this location. The...

    Water temp guage install

    The sensor you t-ed is not for the dummy light. It is for the glow plug controller. At least you put a "T" in so the glow plug module can still function as intended. However, I am not sure how accurate the reading may be with the "T" installed. The sensor on the driver side front of the head...

    Who rebuilds M35A2 Injector Pumps

    I would think any good diesel shop that works on injectors, pumps, and turbos could do the job. I know Accurate Diesel in Orlando can, not sure about a shop in your area. I posted a copy of their business card in another thread if you want to contact them.

    CUCV-II, South Florida Rebuild

    For your boost gauge, are you going to use a "boost bolt" or drill and tap the manifold?

    Battery disconnect switch

    What are you trying to accomplish? Only one switch is needed to kill power to the electrical system. Switch between ground and the front battery NEG terminal. Read my first post in this thread. Chassis ground and main bus bar ground to one side of the switch and front battery NEG to the other.

    Click click BOOM!

    I recovered a M1009 at Redstone a few years back and the glow plug system had failed. I tried Wd40 and silicone spray per some suggestions I read online, neither worked. However, with a quick spray of ether; it fired right up.

    Coolant hose replacements

    Water manifold hoses on the top of the engine are 1 5/8 diameter not 1.75 The believe the suggested LENGTH is 1.75". Anything longer and it is a PITA to reinstall the manifolds. I just did all the hoses on a M109 over this past weekend. Napa sells belted hose by the foot in 2" and 1 5/8"...

    When in doubt, pull the glow plug control card. Sorry to hear about your '09. Good luck with your plans to bring her back to life.

    Hope for the best and plan for the worst. Drive out and plan to trailer it.

    Hand brake warning light

    I've got a GANG M35A2C with the same switch. Maybe the GA NG guys were burning up too many e-brakes!

    CUCV-II, South Florida Rebuild

    The spanner wrench sounds fancy...I used a long pry bar on the back side of the pump in between the injection outlets. Just give me a call or send me a message when/if you want to come up.

    bad fuel mileage

    Best bet would be to scan for codes. Most parts stores will scan for free. If no codes, then maybe bad injectors, fuel filter, lift pump, timing, or ? Could be numerous things.

    bad fuel mileage

    Turbo or no turbo? Sounds like limp mode. Is it throwing codes?
