    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Yes, after a few times on various projects, I have finally learned to test items out of the box. Seems like there is no QC any more. Stopped at Autozone, new ones will be here tomorrow. Hopefully they will work out of the box.

    M1028 Resurrection

    Well, I already have a M1010 and it's going to be resto project #3. Sorry, Rick, I don't need another 1010 body here. It's nice to see a truck go from being "Lost in the Woods" (yes I was at Ft Leonard Wood) to a functioning machine. The folks at Hillbilly Wizard really helped make this save...

    M1028 Resurrection

    I found this former USAF beauty sitting in the woods. Actually it was at Hillbilly Wizards place, waiting to be scrapped or saved. After many months of pondering and hesitation on my part, John and I struck up a deal. The idea was to get it fixed it up so it is able to be driven around. It's...

    Light Bulb Numbers List for CUCV's

    I was looking at the schematics last night to see what could be the problem to your situation. I would start with checking all of the fuses and the fusible links at the 12v power diamond on the firewall. Check each part with a volt ohm meter to ensure that it is good. Sometime parts that look...

    The second photo looks like they go to the drivers side alternator. The Brown wire with push on connector goes to the tach buffer connection and the Black/White wire goes to the ground connection.

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    I know the feeling, A friend of mine and I troubleshot a problem that we " didn't have " today with a antenna rotor. 3 hours later, we fixed a problem that wasn't there when we started. As we all know, If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    CUCV Start Up Here is a video of my M1009, the temp was around 50 deg F. The voltmeter on the left is measuring the voltage to the glow plugs. The one on the right is the standard 24 v meter. During the warm up time, the GP voltage is 8 volts. After start up it goes up to around 10 volts. Once...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    The card will only cycle the GP relay if the Voltage monitor circuit of the GP card detects a higher than desired voltage. At one time I did measure it, but that was years ago and I do not remember what it was. I think.....again think, some where above 14 volts. It sounds like your original...

    Where do these wires go on the passenger side alternator.

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    Your GP system is working normally. The high current draw after the engine is running is normal. The voltage sag is normal. The glow plugs being on after start up is normal. The WIF light momentary flash issue is not normal, but we addressed that and a possible solution via PM. After start up...

    Alternator wiring question

    CUCV Charging Circuits Looking at the schematic, for the passenger side alternator, it appears that the large Red with the Orange wire, connects to the Positive terminal. The single large Red wire connects to the isolated Negative terminal. You may want to verify the other end of these wires...

    GP relay voltage readings

    Your voltage readings are correct. The relay coil voltage is 12 v, this controls the relay. The Pink/Black wire has +12 volts on it. When you ground the Light Blue wire, the relay will close. These are the two smaller terminals. The closing of the relay is connecting the 24 volts from the...
