    M1008 front differential

    maybe you have a 1028?? I think they had the govlock in the front? Probably to cold to play with it now but popping off the diff cover would tell you...if not you could have worn spider gears that aren't spinning like they should and making both tires get power.

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    I'd ditch the noco for this and get a regular charger that puts out more amps to get a deep charge. 7.2 amps isn't really enough to do anything unless you leave it on for days. The settings on that charger are not designed to charge a dead battery.

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    ahhh so the 7200 is a fancy name for 7.2 amps...ok...that's not much at all. I'd charge for at least the 2 days at that low of an amp. I still have to get used to these chargers that don't let you charge dead batteries. I remove the board in my portable chargers so they'll output volts to...

    Loss of all electrical power while driving

    Sounds like you had 2 problems but if the lights just shut off like you hit the balckout switch then it could be the fuse melted in the box...30 amp...on the right side about in the middle....I've had all mine go bad to the point the metal fuse end fell out of the plastic fuse...I'd check and...

    Rear window crank and TAILGATE WINDOW REGULATOR

    If you go on LMC they have the parts you need...the end is called the clutch...thinking you'll need all the parts for it since there's a spring and block and other stuff to make it work. If you look up this part number on their site you should be able to find the rest of the stuff you need...

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    That depends on the charger...if it's 12 volt or 24.

    NOCO Charger Question - MEP-803A w/Optima Red Tops

    Knee jerk guess on the battery....possibly charging it overnight wasn't enough...not sure what a 7200 is as far as charge stye and amps...the noco 5x2 is really meant to top off and maintain and not charge up from a lower state of charge...I've also read that to get a red top to charge it needs...

    Winter weather.

    I have put anti gel in it and my 3 275 gallon tanks as well. I think I found the issue though, the return line right at the rear injector is sweating out about 2 feet long. Might be loosing prime. I replaced that 3mm?? line and ran the pump for about 10 minutes. It started with a cold cough...

    MEP 803A shows 60 hertz but no voltage

    Easiest thing to check is the fuse next to the voltage regulator...if that has been done but don't know....look up the tm in the sticky of the genset section here and that will narrow it down better too.

    Winter weather.

    I have not put a meter on it yet. I did the 30 second glow plug then hit the starter and it ran for about 30 seconds normally then shut off..sputter started then smoked no start out the exhaust! I'm gonna give it some cool off time and try it again. Kinda acting like it ran out of fuel or has...

    Winter weather.

    I'm in central Pa. Temp at noon was 51...it's 4:00 and it's 11 out with a -7 windchill!! Crazy...unfortunately my 803 is being a smoker trying to get it to start!! Dang thing gets run every month loaded up!! Luckily it's on the back side where the wind isn't that bad so I'm diving into it...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Installed the pulsetech battery maintainer on his 1009 yesterday! They are pretty easy and hopefully do something...I can see the led flash so I guess it does. Installed another block heater today, in the rain, since the other stopped after 5 days...that 4 core radiator holds 4 gallons of...

    Another CUCV Alternator question

    Re Rebuilding doesn't save much money at all...I think the kits are 60-70$...once you add in time it's a wash for most. I do mine so I know it's put together correctly and with a solid rebuild kit. The wires that usually give trouble are the grounds...most are cheap crimp with no heat wrap...

    Another CUCV Alternator question

    There's no dumb questions here. You should be able to click any picture and zoom in on. My laptop has the touch pad and use 2 fingers to pinch in and out to get close or far. Not sure what computer your using but it should have that capability. If you can't figure that out post up what...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    I think you're right for sure. This blazer, I think, has a new engine in it and it's a 6.5. The reason he wanted the block heater was to help cold start wear...batteries, starter, alternator and glow plugs don't work hard on a warm engine. He's told me the glow plugs don't even turn on when...

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    Having that lid on shocks is really nice for sure! I use mine all summer. The batteries do die after about a month if it's not being used. I leave it plugged in a bunch. My next thing I need to figure out is some kind of netting inside or something keeping stuff from bouncing all over the...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    I got the radiator for 350 and it still had the plugs screwed into the oil and transmission cooler ports...dang good deal...I took it to a rad shop and they fixed up the tank fittings since they were dented up some from the military surplus...still had cardboard on it plus the tag...had it air...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Block heater is really working. It is a 1000 watt freeze plug style and has been plugged in since 9 pm...it's 6am for these pics...it was plugged in after driving it so it was, in theory, at least 195 degrees...so it dropped 100 degrees but is holding 93 degrees all over the engine. I'm using a...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So the repair for the board worked great but the batteries did not last much more than a week before they would not hold a charge anymore overnight, cold kicked the bucket...so 2 new 6TM batteries went in! Nice having the Carlisle military stuff around with a distributor there for them...pricing...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Been way to long since I've updated on the 1009...but it's been painted and all new seals installed...kid got his license last week so now he's driving it everyday. Had a fail in alternator 1 and it didn't charge the battery. I thought it was just low on water and acid, which it was, but it...
