Who do you purchase your new fuel tanks and sending units from? I would like to replace mine too but would like to replace with stock or close to it.

Well i I thought I did but I may have had my multimeter on the wrong setting. Figuring out how to use that is half the battle.

I think I got it narrowed down to the alternator. I removed it and am going to have it checked. Will let you know the verdict.

That's a good idea. Could I also use just one battery, somehow attaching 2 + cables on one post and using a C-clamp attach the 2 - cables together and run my amp meter between the - battery post and the 2 neg cables that are clamped together?

Yes, batteries hold a charge. I've had the batteries disconnected and not on any charger for 32 or so hours. It even got below freezing last night. One has 12.80 volts and one has 12.82 volts.

The front battery negative cable has a small wire spliced in that grounds to the radiator support. I've seen this before on other vehicles. The big negative cable from the front battery goes to the negative bus bar. The rear battery negative cable also goes to the negative bus bar. Then there's...

I will ill try disconnected the starter next. That's a good idea. Since the 12 volt conversion, my batteries are wired in parallel not series. Both grounds on the batteries are bolted to the negative bus bar, same as the positives. So I don't think it matters which battery I test, does it? I...

I've completly disconected the alternator and there's still a draw so it has to be something else. Actually since the 12 volt conversion, the plug is not being used. Just a red wire and a ground.

Isnt the headlights and the heater fused? As soon as I pulled that fuse I would have found the problem.

I've spent hours reading the histories on this subject but still don't have it figured out yet. I know there are a lot of very smart people on here that can point me in the right direction. I have a 1984 M1028 that the state forestry department did a Roscommon 12 volt conversion on it. It now...

If I did a ORD 4" lift with a 1" ORD add a leaf, exactly how much trimming would I need to do with 37" tires. Several members have said minor trimming, but what does this mean?

In the engine compartment the conduit ends by the passenger side exhaust manifold and then a large gauge battery sized wire comes out and goes to the positive bus bar. Its kinda hard hard to see but look for the blue and orange band. That's right where the wire comes out of the conduit and...

I recently bought my first CUCV, a 1984 M1028 and noticed a large gray flexible electrical conduit running down the frame rail on the passenger side and ends where the spare tire bolts up under the bed. There are some large gauge wires in the conduit and the end is taped up. Can any one tell me...

I recently took the dash board and the instrument cluster out to clean. When I put it all back together my blue high beam indicator light was not working. Does anyone have any ideas? The only thing that I can think of right now is to take it back out and clean connections around each lit bulb...

CUCVRUS: Where did you buy your LED headlights from?

I found some videos on YouTube that showed how to do flush the PS system. Looking at the Lubrication Order I see that it calls for Dexron II Power Steering Fluid and has the same National Stock Number as the Dexron II Transmission Fluid. So I just want to double check, Dexon II PS fluid and...

I just bought a M1028 about a month ago. Noticed fluid leaking out of the power steering pump lid. Took the lid off and someone filled it completely full. I sucked about a pint of fluid out to where it should be. The fluid was brown and thick. I'm worried that someone might have put a little...

I couldn't stand it any longer. So I bought a couple of batteries and tried to start the old M1028. Starter just clicked is all. Pulled the starter and tested it. It ran good. Pulled the starter relay out from under the dash. This truck had been converted over to 12 volts before I got it so I...

I found it on the internet. Thanks everyone.
