Block heater is as follows. Kats Part number 10612 600 watts freeze plug block heater. I paid $20 for mine a Derry Auto Parts Derry, NH.

I got my block heater freeze plug type from a local auto parts store for $20 600 watts replaced a freeze plug on the drivers side. Engine starts like summer at 10 below zero but still needs the glow plugs. Just make sure you unplug the block heater before you start the engine. The vibration...

Hey guys, Don't forget the Webasto Diesel Fired auxiliary hot water heater. This is used on the latest modern trucks so you should be able to find em in the truck junkyard. Here is the link. http://www.webasto.us/press/en/am_trucks_heaters_823.html Here are the specs...

Sounds like the idle speed is low. Normal starting procedure is to wack the throttle to "kick" the alternators in charge mode.

In the 60's and 70's Heavy trucks and equipment used 24 volts starters with 12 volt series/parallel switches for two reasons. 12 volt electrical stystems are economical compared to 24 volt systems. But a 24 volt starter is better in winter due to the fact that the cranking speed is easier to...

Where is the fire department. I live in Derry, NH and would be willing to come down and trouble shoot the truck with you. Between the two of us we should figure it out.

When I updated my M-1009 due to only three operational glow plugs the replacements are AC Delco 60G model glow plugs. Had to grind down the tabs to fit the military harness but no other problems since then. They work fine using the seatbelt warning light as a timing source with a manual push...

You need to replace the fuel pressure switch in the fuel filter housing. You can buy the NOS from http://www.owens-export.com/index.html Or you can remove it and plug the hole behind it where fuel enters the switch and no more problem.

Sit in the drivers seat. Notice big round metal cap with chain attached next to your right leg? That is where you plug in a diagnostic machine that tells you things like exact voltage from each alternator and amps, whether you have fuel pressure or vacuum at the fuel filter....this is the...

I personally wouldn't upgrade to 200 amps. You need to provide the power to the alternator to generate 200 amps and in stock form the weak part is the v-belt drive. Every single class 8 truck I've driven has a minimum of 2 belts driving the alternator and their output averages 115 amps So you...

The following pertains to the transmision only! The Army originally speced 30 weight motor oil for the M-135 /M-211 for both the engine and the transmision. It will work fine IF you warm up the engine for 30 minutes THEN drive it. The Army changed the oil from 30 weight to (after having many...
