The adventure continues. Hopefully this post will encourage a few CUCV owners to crawl under the trucks and check out their wiring....after their landscaper puts the starter in. I am certainly no mechanic. The phone rings shortly after Push drove away. The 15 mile trip north of Edmonton was...

Sftpoctmv After turning down several offers to unknown buyers, my personal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Military Vehicles ...the SFTPOCTMV... found the right buyer. Push the 1010 will continue her adventures and still be a part of the parade route. I'm hoping to get these boys...

CUCV add ons These last two posts were real helpful and you not only have a good understanding of this, you're a darn good teacher too. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthr...ot-Start/page6 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthr...han-Ever/page4 The theory thread is a visual breakdown which...

Raining M1010's As it turns out my mechanic of choice went to an auction over a decade ago and took pictures of my M1010 with the big #2 on the back......small world. One of the 1010's still had the light, siren, stretchers, body bags and IV waiting on the floor. Thought you kids would...

M1010 diagnosis. No power to the glow plugs. Solution, new relay and momentary switch, by-passing original glow-plug system. Results.....in addition to recalling why I loved the truck in the first place....the sultry sounds of the 6.2...

Canada CMP It turns out that the sweet, kind, gentleman who will be stuck fixing the M1010 needed a hand with that very CMP ownership addiction you mention......It's not often a guy gets to see 2 in the mirrors so he took your advice, thank you. I kinda feel like the uncle that gets to...

M1010 fuel mileage The M1010 gets the best fuel mileage with this add on. A dually with a 22' trailer. It's time to haul old Push to a barn with a 10' door, heat and a better mechanic. The sun was shining yesterday when we loaded and hit the bank to pay for the next round of MVestment but...

We're not hearing it fire on any cylinders and now she wants to be hauled to a warm shop with a 10' door to check on injectors, LP lift pump and finally injector pump. I'm curious about compression as well but hoping the problem is much simpler. It does appear that fuel is getting to the...

TM Thesaurus I'm almost certain I figured out why the TM's aren't loved by all men....... We're flipping through the troubleshooting section and they tell me to "Check for Hubbies".....indicating leakage... Not sure why I haven't read that before but if we're checking for hubbies it's...

My CUCV won't start....... What goes bad on the 6.2l diesel when it sits for 500 days.....after working flawlessly for a long time? Can the IP dry out? We hoped to have it up for Remembrance Day activities yesterday but going through pictures of a friends's uncle, Harry Arthur Young was how...

Cucv m1010 The 1010 is still around and isn't going anywhere, literally. I've neglected it so much it just deserves a better home. I had the starter re-built because a mechanic said it was turning slow and could be part of the problem with the non-start issue. Just got it back so here is a...

Nov. 22, 1956 Are you saying we have day, month and year correct for Mom's birthday? Nov. 22, 1956? I thought it was groovy when the first 6x6 I looked at had my Dad's Day and Month correct. 3 / 16...56. He was born in 1927 but having the exact date, that would top it. We need your skill set...

M1010 parades One of the great things about this hobby is meeting the 'new' ranks that are also inflicted with the green addiction. Life is full of surprises. I knew I'd be meeting an M35A2, running in a parade in Onoway, representing and carrying the local legion. I didn't know we'd be joined...

Bring on Summer Every Friday night that the sun shines, the White Oaks A&W in Edmonton continues to bring in hundreds of auto enthusiasts. Check out the 'Big Orange Wheel' parked in front of the M1010. Who else had a 'big wheel' growing up? The 1010 adventured out to the St. Albert...

Drive with the nose for a leaky heater hose Did a tour today to watch the new 'museum' drone learn how to take pictures of the bunker. Had the slightest scent of sweet anti-freeze after an hour on the road so did a Post Parting inspection. Managed to spot the leak before it caught me in...

M1010 Friday night show-off This ol' house on wheels attracts the crowds at A&W so I figured I'd share the night's photos. There's a little piece of 1010 in every pic. This is one of my favorite shots.... the 1010 between 18" rubbers.

How to prime the 6.2l diesel I did have a challenge finding an 'easy to reach' thread with a decent title for 'priming'. Maybe my search filters are missing something but I was looking through the stickies and faq's for something along the lines of; a) How to prime the 6.2l diesel b) trouble...

How to prime your 6.2l diesel Not being a mechanic and coming from a horticultural point of view, it was best that I left that decision to someone with more experience. The mechanic suggested I go take pictures of carbs, turbos, pistons and valves with similar bolt patterns......and leave him...

I had a tough time getting Push, the M1010 running after sitting for 500 days. I knew I was in trouble when I took the air cleaner off and the carb' was missing. Thought about swapping in a radial engine. Then a friend had a little talk with the M1010, ..........and now that it's running, I can...

M1010 rides again Some poetic justice. My ode to mechanics. Here once sat a lonely 1010, I worked real hard to get it running again. New filters and pumps, check the steering and brakes, she's going back to the parade front, whatever it takes. I checked the TM's for the process to prime...
