The tach is a real bonus if you drive the highway at all. Am sure glad the previous owner saw fit to install one. I haven't driven her far enough to burn any real amount of fuel just yet but I'm hoping to real soon. Still in the upgrading stages yet. But hope to do so soon. Mostly now is test...

Ordered a Gm thermostat from a Chevy dealer today. Takes about a week to arrive. Nearest one to buy is about 2 hours away. I was looking to install a 180 but the parts guy says it doesn't give a temperature on the listing they have. Guess I'll have to wait to see what it is. She is currently...

Sorry don't mean to hijack your thread. I just recently bought a M1010 and it had a major charging issue which we mistakenly thought was the alternator. My truck was converted to 12 volts before I bought it. It still has 2 batteries and they are now hooked together to give us full 12 volt power...

nice clean install!

Transmission Fan thermostat installed now. About to start on installing the four gauges in the dashpod. Had to delay it for a few days as I cut my arm on some broken glass in the garage which required 8 stitches and delayed me a few days. All the gauges are here and I've picked up the fittings I...

You have to have a starting point. Give us a list of what's not working and we can go from there. There is a wealth of expertise and helpful information on this site.

I see. Well The day I bought it I had a biohazard company go through it just in case. Remember I was a Policeman for 28 years and I never take chances!!! LOL!!.

She drives great. And it's great to have a tachometer. Gives you a pretty good idea where you are at highway speed. Haven't had her over 55 yet. Mostly cause the tachometer wasn't set up yet. Now that it's working I'm itching to try it out. My 4 gauge dash pod arrived today. Once the gauges get...

Here are some of the item/things I have done to the Ambulance. First pic is Plowboys excellent fuel filter. I just moved it slightly. Hi flow Air filter, calibrated the tach. and started to install the transmission fan thermostat. Had to solder a ground wire to the brass fitting. Will finish...

Sorry plowboy. We didn't miss any hookup. There was no cable there at all. Maybe when your friend was helping he may have removed it to do something and forgot to replace it. It's no biggie. Just another little minor thing that required doing. Today I got the Tachometer calibrated and started...

Well it turns out it's not the alternator after all. I installed it and got the same result. Weird! Rev the engine a little and it starts to charge. Take your foot off the accelerator and it stops charging. Then it hit me. Back in the day you used to be able to take a battery cable off to test...

Dave is a very modest person. We never even entertained the thought that it was his fault or of returning Push. :grd:. But he insisted it was. I bought him a Tim Hortons coffee so thats what he got instead of the keys back. We've since become friends and I've had the pleasure of visiting his...

I'm 62 and I have a lot of experience with small and big block chevys. My buddy who is a retired mechanic has already suggested I get a 400 small block, build it up and replace the 6.2. But for now I'll stick with the 6.2 as it has low mileage and is running very well. I only bought it a few...

Took my alternator in today and it was tested. It's a 120 amp. Tested good. the repair shop says the diesel is idling too slow for the alternator. It's actually the wrong alternator for my truck. However they are going to rebuild it with a an internal modification which will cause the...

Thanks guys. I couldn't go with plan B as both original alternators had already been removed. So I guess I go with plan C which is a high amp one. And JPG I would still consider the M1010. I recently retired from bear guiding and believe me I would feel a heck of a lot safer in the rear of a...

Update. 4 gauge pod for the dash ordered as well as 4 gauges. Realigned the hood on the truck yesterday, a relatively easy job. Today: Replaced all the wheel nuts as the ones on it were a little long. Went back to factory nuts as trying to keep the stock look as much as possible. Discovered...

Hi everyone. I joined the site about a week ago and am trying to get used to doing things on here. Hopefully my photos load properly. I bought this truck from M1010plowboy. I think it broke his heart to part with it. But he is using the funds to further his restoration on his other 6X6 trucks...

The M1010 looks great. I bought mine about 2 weeks ago and am doing the usual maintenance. Fan belts, fluids, some electrical etc. Mine had only 37800 kilometers on it when I bought it and runs great. These are great machines.

Well that's a start. Maybe I was looking at the wrong color. Thanks!!!
