Going to look at it on Tuesday, :drool: It only has the lower alt, the owner has the top one, but says the po removed it and it still runs fine. Says it has the blue box thing (Duvac). Can this run ok on just the lower alt with a good Duvac? I do plan on modifying this if I buy it. Other than...
hey cucvrus can you do a thread or post some more pics on your crown of thorns 1009 roof rack? specifically the mounting and drill points? I really like the stance and size it has. [thumbzup]
lots of posts here that talk around the subject but nothing I can find with specifics. would it hold a...
Addict seeking sponsor
Hello my name is Joe and I am an addict.
i bought my first MV in June 2015, a 3 color camo M1009.
4 months later in Oct 2015 I bought a M101A2 trailer, it was desert tan, not OD green so the fix must not have lasted so long.
5 months later, a total of 9 months from my...
Riggermedic's M1010 (formerly talk me down thread)
Probably the wrong place to ask, but will some one talk me down from my addiction? Looking at a m1010, already have a gorgeous 1009, I think she may like a companion. I am ok with looking for common Cucv issues but what are the 1010 specific...
Now I'm really confused.
stock configuration uses a short 10 gauge? wire off the resistor
the resistor bypass that many/most people do puts the full load on the 10? gauge wire running from front 12 volt side (6 feet?) and this seems to work fine
I figured dedicated 6 Gauge for each was a bit...
1/0 gauge battery cables and starter cable. 6 gauge x2 cable upgrade 1 to the 12 volt supply, 1 to the glow plug relay (resistor bypass). Found a missing nut on the power steering bracket (fixed). Class 2 leak on the speedo cable plug in on the transfer case (tightened). New vacuum line on the...
Starter cable
Today I replaced my starter cable with 1/0 gauge wire. What a pain in the BUTTauaaua
On the bright side I did verify that the starter bracket was there and that I have a gear reduction starter with heat shield in place:naner:
Battery cables and wiring
The PO did the glowplug resistor bypass. It was time for a battery cable upgrade and I noticed the solo power wire running across the firewall was old and beginning to crack. I didn’t like the idea of 1 single wire powering both the 12 volt side of the truck and the GP...
Lights and Relays
few more pics to add, I mounted a front LED bar, was originally looking for 2 smaller ones to fit left and right, but I only had 11.5 inches of space and the ones I wanted all required 12 or 12.5 inches. I settled on a 20 inch for the center
I set up the wiring and relay...
the fuel filter comes before the pump, the PO had this done. the rubber line does a 180 in the frame rail, goes rearward thru the filter then pump then does another 180 and reconnects forward. the truck still has the mechanical pump too. the PO said it was dogging down so he had the "extra" pump...
AZ Registration
When I bought my M1009 and took it to get registered the MVD here in Phoenix AZ said I needed an emissions test and said I could only register it for one year as I would need annual emissions. The other option would be to get collectors insurance which would make it no emissions...
I read a post about replacing battery cables and wiring and recall something about a reset able circuit breaker. I ordered one for radio buss in my 1009 that I added (12 volt in back passenger side). I recently upgraded the 12 volt wire that runs from the front battery across the firewall to the...
Thank you
I enjoy the challenge and logic involved in wiring. All too often I overthink it and come up with a workable but overly complex circuit.
Your link is quite cool, I've been spending quite a bit of time there.
Thank you
