Thank you!
It is clear. I removed it.
No CUCVs in Ukraine. I've never seen any, except one medevac based on HUMVEE chassis.
Almost all wires are in a terrible state - sometimes it is even not isolated. So I'm replacing everything
You can see the fuel pump in the picture below: one of the...
The second part I asked about is ... 'BENZIN SOLENOID', and I have no ideas who and why installed it.
I found it disconnected both from wires and any other lines.
As I can understand it valve which closed fuel line when the key is "off"
I re-checked all manuals I have and it looks like it is...
Thank you!
Extremely helpful answer!!!
I found a picture of the proportioning valve:
and one more with PIGTAIL!
So now it is 100% clear how it must be connected!
THANK YOU!!!
What about the second picture - I will umount this part tomorrow because it is anyway disconnected and will...
Thank you for your answer!
It is not possible to repair stock wiring at all - at least half of the wires are replaced by the previous owner, fuse box is broken and no relays installed.
Clear!
Also clear
Did you mean combination valve (20 on the picture below)?
As I can understand...
Hi!
I'm still trying to repair the wiring in my M1008, and I'm trying to replace every wire with non-original (I'm using from Russian car VAZ). Reasons: 1. Almost all wires were modified by previouse owner. 2. It is extremely expensive to buy original parts and it took weeks to get them from...
Thank you! The catalog is helpful, and I found lamp sockets, they exist... but not in Europe.
$14.97 + $31.58 Shipping to Ukraine ... and weeks to wait.
Thank you!
It is a very good answer for me - instead of wasting time trying to find a lamp holder (which may not exists in my region of Europe) I will modify the reflector.
Hi!
I'm trying to find a replacement for rear light lights lamps holders - but all I can find here has 4 points but the original one has 2 points.
Please see the difference in the image below.
Also, I have the same issue with the turn signal lights - the lamp holders are not exactly the same...
I continue working on the truck, and have some more questions:
1. I removed my instrument cluster and suddenly realized that it differs from what I see in Manual.
So it looks like it was replaced by the previous owner. Is it correct?
2. So, the next step is to find how wires are...
First of all, I'd like to say Thank You (and all people here on the forum) for a detailed reply.
I spent hours reading manuals, but the problem I still have is that I do not understand all terms and the dictionary gives me "generic" translation.
So I still have to ask some questions.
As I...
Thank you for your explanation!
>Going back to stock wiring is your best route, I think.
yes, generally speaking, you are 100% right.
But in my situation it is almost impossible to order original parts - sellers do not want to send to Ukraine. And it is also not chap.
So I'm trying to use parts...
Anyway, I have to fix it. I got it "as is" and nobody knows here how it should work
So my plan is
1. Disconnect all wires. (and make pictures on each step)
2. Replace all wires related to alternators and batteries with new. (old is not in a good state).
It should not be rocket science, but it...
Thank you!
More answers - more questions!
As I can understand, the left alternator was replaced by another one taken from some Ukrainian track or tractor. Now I'm trying to identify it now.
So questions are:
1. Left Alternator cables
What small terminal on the alternator doing? On my...
Hi!
Finally, I continue to work on the truck (there are many custom changes before I got it so it is not in stock)
Could you please help me to identify 2 wires on the picture? it is the left side of the engine. I do not see any sensors or places where they can be connected.
If it was added by...
Hi!
I'm trying to repair my M1008 but because of my location (Ukraine, ex-USSR) I have no chance to buy original parts. Or shipping costs too much
So I'm going to replace my dashboard with such one...
I tried to search manuals for "safety switch" but without success. Could you explain me little bit more detailed where can I read about this switch?
I thought key is locked mechanically by gear switching lever, Am I wrong?
BTW, I think something is wrong because I can't rotate key even...
I can't explain my problem correct because I can't say correct parts and tools names in English.
I already removed steering wheel before ask this question.
I'll make some pictures and will ask you again if will not be able to remove clip.
