GM still makes a CUCV III. They have updated the web site and don't seem to offer all the models that they used to. I don't remember if there used to be a dually but there isn't one now. Check out the link: http://www.gmfleet.com/gmfleetjsp/government/product/military.jsp Mike

I prefer the stock mil system to if it still works. You don't have to do this to use civilian over the counter glow-plugs so I would strike that as a benefit. Also, what do you look for in a temp switch? I am guessing you would ask for one for a civi 1986 K-5 blazer with a 6.2 ? Mike...

A good bit of the drawing is lost in the black background but now the link at the bottom works and it all becomes clear. Thanks for the good info. This would be the way to go if you let anyone else drive your truck or plan to sell it. The manual push button is still a good opiton if you are...

I have flat towed a m1010 150 miles on the interstate with no apparent ill effects. I put everything in neutral and went with it. But then I have done a lot of stupid things in my time.

I have been thinking about doing it that way but I was worried about the wire getting damaged in the window as it goes up and down. Have you had any trouble with it?

Ted has a good rep on the MV list. I haven't bought anything from him though. He may have a few more, he has alredy sold several of these.

The wiring diagrams are in appendix F in this TM: https://www.logsa.army.mil/etms/data/A/053627.pdf

Is that little white spec above your tag a tag light? If it is, how did you run the wire?

My M1010 won't start without the glow plugs if it hasn't been run that day and I am in Mississippi.

That is kind of what I had in mind but in a new aftermarket form and mounted were the Forrestry Service did. I can't seem to find one though.

I forgot to delete that last sentence. It says on the tag, that I got it at boat USA.

How are people mounting their tag? I have about got my daily driver M1009 ready for the road but I haven't found a good place for the tag. While I was in Autozone, I was told that several people had been in recently buying tag light bulbs for their cars. Apparently the Mississippi Highway...

While 13G’s were original equipment, they are obsolete. I wouldn’t use anything except AC 60G’s. It just isn’t worth it to have to spend hours prying a swollen plug out.

How much did the conversion cost and where did you get parts? WD-40 won't work anymore. They changed the propellent in the cans. I use silicon spray now.

I forgot to mention that my wife drove the truck home from the DRMO in Montgomery AL. It was about 250 miles. She still complines about how hot it was (it was about 100 degrees that day). I have about finished my M1009. I am amazed at how much better it is to drive on the highway. It...

I have had a M1010 for over 5 years. I got it direct form the government and it wasn't charging properly when I got it. I finally got it sort of working by going through the trouble shooting in the TM's. You can get them online for free. Be sure to start with the -20 and then work up to the...

I just finished replacing my second set of glow plugs with AC 60G plugs. I just took one of the old plugs and the new ones to a grinding wheel and ground off enough material from each side to make them match. I did the first one last fall and haven’t had any trouble with it. One thing I...
