The 3.5mA draw is okay. Just make sure you drive it once a month or so. On the CUCV FAQ thread (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=20600) there is a shot of the firewall with what I think you are talking about in regards to the wire from the front battery...

Just found out I was wrong about one thing. It looks like bypassing the ballast resistor could possibly damage the glow plug controller by causing 24 volts to feed back to the glow plug controller. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=7809&highlight=ballast+resistor&page=2 Ruppster

Actually, the last sentence is not completely correct. The power consumed by the glow plugs is a function of both voltage and current. I can't remeber how much current the glow plugs actually take but lets say for the purpose of this discussion its 15 amps. Because the ballast resistor is in...

The August 2003 issue of Military Vehicles Magazine has a picture of a Desert Storm Air Force M1009 on the cover. I plan on doing my M1009 the same way. Nothing like having a desert camo vehicle in Alaska. :-D Ruppster 1962 Dodge C700 1970 Dodge CT800 1985 M1009 Blazer www.dodge-semis.com

Too late! Sounds like you already have it, especially if you are hanging around here. :-D Anyhow, welcome aboard. There are a lot of people here that have bobbed their M35's. So you will have no problem finding a lot of info about them here. As far as bikes what kind do you deal with? I like...

Is the starter still for sale? If so I am interested in it. Ruppster

Rory, thanks for the engine pictures. By any chance do you have a shot of each side of the intake manifold? Also, do you know what model trans is attached to the 361? Is it a 5652 or a 541? Ruppster

Well, my hope for the M75 distributor was that it had the vacuum port for the governor setup. But from the sounds of it it doesn't so a V100 distributor wouldn't do me any good. Oh well, it was worth a try. Thanks for the info pertaining to it. If you come across an extra intake manifold from...

Rumpster, huh? Sorry, didn't mean to piss you off. :-D I do owe you an apology though as I did not word my post too well. Sorry about that. I was trying to point out that even in a V100 using a car intake manifold on the 361 would not be a good idea due to the air pocket it would create in the...

There's one main problem with using a car intake on the commercial Dodge engines as the two are not the same. The car engines have ports to run exhaust gases under the carb while the commercial truck engines have coolant flowing thru the intake under the carb. On top of this there is a fitting...

The sending unit for the governor is on the end of the camshaft? That's a new one on me. On the commercial trucks Dodge used a special distributor that controlled the flow of vacuum to the governor under the carb. As far as the use of the 4 barrel carb that's good news. Would love to get my...

Thanks. I'm an old Mopar nut so I know a good amount about the Dodge B and RB engines. And there are a few differences between a 361/383/400 used in a car versus a 361 used in a commercial truck (the heads being one of them). While the blocks are the same the commercial 413's (and some 361's)...

IIRC the stock engine in the V100 is the Dodge industrial 361 V8. My first question is do they have a 2 barrel or 4 barrel carb? Second, does the carb have a governor under it? For those that are going with another engine does anyone have distributor from a 361 that they want to sell? If so is...

Correct, but a 5 ton has a GVWR over 26,000 pounds and that is what Beastmaster was pointing out. The OP asked about a 5 ton versus a 2.5 ton truck and a CDL can be a major factor in what you go with. But as you mentioned CDL requirements can change from state to state. The thing about the...

When my wife was stationed at Langley AFB a few years ago I used to go see the show. Several of the people with vehicles displayed there started a MV club for the Hampton Roads area and they have a web site at: http://vmpa.ordnancereproductions.com/ Ruppster

There's a picture of the IP in another thread on SS. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=26739 Ruppster

I have the same problem with my M1009, and it gets worse when the temps are below 20 degress F. All I could tell at the time was that it was coming from under the intake manifold (I could see a puddle of diesel fuel in the valley pan) and it was running down the back of the engine. I noticed a...

That's a sweet looking truck and I did not need to see that. :) Last week I acquired an M105A2 trailer along with a Dodge CT800 dump truck. The dump truck was purchased for use as a parts vehicle for a Dodge C700 flatbed. And since I wanted to get rid of the flatbed on the C700 I bought the...

RE: Re: How much is your Deuce I posted this link a while ago in another thread about insurance - http://www.insurance-marketplace.com/. I called them about coverage for a 1966 M52A2 5 ton 6x6 tractor. With a garage I was quoted $400 a year for Alaska. He told me without a garage the price for...

RE: M52A2 I got an M52A2, VIN 952410133. I found it listed in another thread you answered about M52 serial numbers but it only listed basic info. The markings on the truck show: On the right: 172 BDE 172 SPT On the left: B 59 It was auctioned off...
