Follow the pink/black wire in this photo on the engine side of the firewall. Where does it go? It should go to glow plug relay. Also, the purple/white wire that is spliced with electrical tape with a red wire at the top right of this photo...the red wire goes around the grommet and thru the...

Edited: Just saw your post, let me review your photos.

I agree with your assessment, someone has definitely messed with your wiring. The WTS light bulb should be fed by a pink wire with a black tracer (pink/black) and grounded through a dark blue wire that is controlled by the glow plug card. This dark blue wire should backtrack through the main...

Negative, I don't think that's the correct connector/bundle, but I'm diving into the wiring TM's right now to verify the wire colors. I've taken your photo and added some colored arrows to highlight the harness that we're looking for. Largest arrow at right should be where the grommet goes thru...

Not my finest photography with a cell phone, but hopefully they'll give you an idea... Below are photos from my M1008 and my M1031. I don't have an M1010 to verify, but the glow plug wiring locations should be identical. The grommet you're looking for is slightly adjacent to the fuse block...

^^ That's a solid truck; budd wheels, tilting hood, and looks to have a doubled-frame!

The GP card box in my M1008 was attached to the brake pedal bracket with a small plastic clip to prevent it from hanging by the wires. There's a removable flap on one end of the box from which you extract the GP card. EDIT: Easiest way to locate the GP card box is to follow the wiring from...

While it might have been a USMC truck in the past, this M36 was most recently a US Air Force truck, based on the paperwork that you've found! The second load list that you posted shows the vehicle ID, and is corroborated with the very faint "68Kxxxx" on your front bumper. This is typical USAF...

It took me over a year with my M1008 to realize that the reverse lights were so dim because someone before me had installed 24v bulbs... :oops: New tail light lens are cheap, and will also make a world of difference over the original, hazy, scratched up lenses.

^ I've got the same set of cylinders on my M1008 (from GMC Paul's), and they're far better quality than the generic set on my M1031 from Autozone. Another vulnerable point of access on these old squarebody trucks are the wing/vent windows, where minimal to moderate tampering will overcome the...

If you can take and post a photo showing an overview of the engine compartment (and perhaps a few separate photos of the batteries and all the cabling and wires), the crowd here should be able to help you identify if the truck's wiring is still "stock" (as the military intended)...or if it's...

I agree with some of the above sentiments about emphasizing your interest in preserving the unit, and your eventual goal of seeing it restored. I think folks that get emotionally attached to items have a hard time letting them go to strangers whose intentions they don't know or otherwise don't...

If you've installed larger tires, then your speedometer is incorrect. The truck originally had 32" tires, so the 35" tires are actually allowing you to go faster than what you are seeing on the speedometer. If the speedometer is showing you 55mph, you're actually going about 62mph. It might...

Welcome to the forum! There's a few of us here in the ABQ area and an active MVPA chapter as well.

Why is your upper radiator hose rock hard, but you're not up to operating temperature? This seems to indicate that your thermostat is stuck open. Additionally, your radiator cap might not be venting @16PSI (or whatever the stock rad cap is spec'd for) and could be holding too much pressure...

Personal liberty aside, I agree that starting a traffic stop on an antagonistic note does not help your case. That being said, the DOT officer in question (from the OP) had no just or probable cause to invoke his CMV enforcement authority against a personal vehicle hauling an unladen trailer...

I'm surprised it took as many posts as it did before someone said it. The OP was not engaged in commerce, period...

Wanted to wait until the transaction was complete and the truck was back home... But I am the new owner of Ed Davis' (FMJ) old M1031. I'm not one for "build threads", but in light of the truck having been in the SteelSoldiers family, I decided that this truck would be worthy of an...

I was wondering the same exact thing. Fully expected to log in tonight to see him post it in the auction wins thread. Glad to see a member scooped it up, and for a great price too!

I'm fairly certain that there should be an O-ring on one side or the other of the shoulder near the end of the hard line... Unfortunately, I don't have a photo handy and can't remember which side. However, I replaced mine with black Viton O-rings from McMaster-Carr with the following...
