    Finally won an M101A2??

    I saw a couple trailers like that at that sale. I was wondering if the wider axle meant it was an A3. Looked like a good lot of trailers.

    Mvpa convention july 8-10, who's comming and what are you bringing?

    I might like to go. Does anybody know if they will allow parts swapping out in the parking lot area? Or just vendors. Not sure what vehicle we would bring, perhaps a J20 Ambulance, but we have a bunch of stuff we could sell/trade.

    Wires for horn on m1009 ?

    The cucv horn is 12 volts. Are you using the old horn relay? Sometimes mine just clicks too. I just got mine working.

    KaBOOOOM---and the M1009 is dead

    I had a battery blow up on me once, accidentally set put a wrench down across both terminals. It welded down and I got about two hits with the flashlight and boom. It was very loud and splashed acid all over. Got all over me and turned my carhartt coat into swiss cheese. I washed it before using...

    Federal Signal 24V rotator light

    I have some of those lights. One came mounted on an aluminum lightbar that clamps onto the gutters above the doors. Kind of ugly but you can take it off and put it on easily.

    M1009 is COMPLETELY dead

    I have a 40 amp in line fuse on my wire. The wire from the battery terminal to the diamond block is the one I am talking about. I had a 30 amp at first but it kept blowing so I put a 40 amp and i have only blown it a couple times in a year. 1 time was when i added a temp/compass power rear view...

    M1009 is COMPLETELY dead

    Check the fusible links around the diamond shaped junction on the firewall on the driver's side. If you burn up the wire going to there from the battery it will make it go completely dead. I have burnt up that wire and the one from the junction to gen 1 before.

    Horn stuck on, diode problem

    I just fixed my horn too. It never worked, I think mine was burnt out. Is the diode you are taking about just looped from the power wire to the outgoing horn wire on the relay? I couldn't figure out why it was there since it sent 12v all the time to the horn. I wonder if this is the same for...

    To Rebuild or not to Rebuild TH400

    That is very high for a th400. I had 2 rebuilt in the last year. For 650 and 550. I think AAMCO quoted me $1200.

    What variant is this?

    I took some more pictures and looked it over. There are no data plates left but it looks like it spent time at an airport. Maybe you guys can tell more from these pictures.

    Replacement transmission problem

    I talked to a local transmission guy and here is his reply. The fact that it worked and then quit overnight seems likely that something broke, or stuck, not worn out. Possibly a servo sticking or a band not releasing........... All of that stuff is internal, so it is going to have to come out...
