    The "Road Oiler" gets overdrive (700R4 Swap)

    Thanks for posting. My M1010 is going to get the same treatment. I have a 85 6.2 takeout 700R4 which came with all the linkage etc. I also robbed the shift indicator while I was there. Excited to see your pictoral progress, good luck.

    Picked up a M1010 for the collection

    My heater was not working when I got it as well, the fuel pump electrical connection was unplugged, an easy fix. PM sent on box parts.

    CUCV Starter

    They are about $100 on ebay, I have had the best luck with the ones from DB Electrical. Don't forget the new style support bracket.

    M1010 DUVAC Gone

    When I picked up my ex-fire dept. M1010 the electrical was the usual mess with wires and switches all over. They could not figure out the drain on the batteries so they installed a switch on the 12v side and one on the 24v side. They also had a fairly large harness of wires running to...

    M1010 A/C Compressor

    Did anyone find a source for these? The diode inside is fried causing pass through voltage energizing the compressor pulley all the time even with the a/c off. The actual relay itself looks fine.

    Glow Plug Resistor

    I'm not jumping on the bypass wagon. By bypassing to 12v you are doubling the current drawn on the 12v supply wire and I'm not sure it's rated for that. You are also pulling a large amount of current from the front battery which will over time weaken it. Regular glow plug maintainance will...

    Glowplug Card Major Fail

    I thought you might enjoy seeing my toasty glowplug control card, it looks like a burnt waffle. When I picked up my M1010 this week I had no wait light or glowplug action, after I got it home further inspection found this. The mechanic at the site said last time he moved it after he "jumped"...

    fuel system issues.

    Check to make sure the cold start solenoid is working. Sometimes the temp sensor for it goes bad and makes for hard cold starting.

    Help understanding GRA-39's

    I had one of the range boosters it's about 30watts output. Mine had a 24vdc connection on the back instead of a battery box. You use a short jumper cable with bnc connections on both ends, connect the radio "ANT" to the booster "IN" and then hook your antenna to the booster "OUT" or thread a...

    Quick IP pump question

    It will only go on one way, some times it takes a bit to get it to bleed out the air. I have done several and some take longer than others.

    Mep-003a & mep-005a

    Thanks, I think we would all like to see some pictures of the gensets providing mining power once you get them going. Good luck.

    Mep-003a & mep-005a

    Two things, are you near the area the "Jungle Gold" show is filming where all the armed chineese are taking over claims? and as per GL rules did you have to get export permits to ship military equipment out of the US or are gen sets no longer requiring EUC's? Good luck and hope they work for...

    M1009 towing a MEP-003A ?

    You may loose some power but as long as the trailer has surge brakes you should be fine.
