Thank you for your prompt reply. I was sort of leaning the way you mentioned about Generac, Kohler, etc. I will have to investigate my home to see how much power I actually draw. I am sure I could identify the primary circuits I would and determine how much energy is necessary from each...

I want to get a generator for my home, but I don't have a clue as to how big a machine to get. How do you folks figure it out? Where do they come from? How do you wire one into your home? Do you isolate specific circuits? I am guessing that homes that use natural gas have different power...

The I-44 corridor is an AWESOME highway, although there is usually some sort of road work (orange barrel hell) in Missouri. Not too many hills to deal with... Nice Truck. I am sure you have guardian angels watching over your and the pooch. PS... Pick up a few MRE's and put them in the locker...

Your reply to my post is pure genius! I didn't understand the relationship between the glow plugs and the necessary heat to ignite diesel fuel. I was thinking of the glow plugs as "Spark Plugs" rather than a heat booster. You explained everything so well, I think I could now explain it to...

Thank you for answering my question about cylinder ignition. I didn't (don't?) quite understand the relationship between compression heat, glow plug ignition, etc. It seems to me that if all of the glow plugs are Full Mission Capable, the engine starts quickly. If some of the glow plugs have...

Another Odd-Ball question... If, say, four or five glow plugs are working, what happens in the cylinders with glow plugs that don't work? I guess that eventually, the mixture in these "failed plug" cylinders begins to ignite, but how? What happens if you only have two functional glow plugs...

J... Thanks for the information! I might too go with the Western Pro Plow. Do you have a model number, kit number, source, Etc?

Current part number, source, cost are encouraged. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you both for your responses. I wasn't sure how glow plugs behave. Someone stated that "They either work or they don't". indicating that they work great all the time until they quit. Another person stated that "They start out good but progressively get worse and worse until they no...

I have never owned a diesel truck before and I have a few questions regarding the glow plugs that you folks might be able to answer. I am guessing that when the key is turned on and the WAIT light is active, the glow plugs are heating up, but do they ALL glow or is it possible that some work...

Hello JSutherland! I too want a plow for my M1008. I am following this thread to see what develops. I have no idea which plow model I need to locate or where I might find one, but I think it would be AWESOME to have a plow and perhaps earn some snow money to pay for my hobbies...

I absolutely LOVE that electric dolly. I have never seen such a unit. Oh Yeah, your generator is AWESOME. Congratulations

Thank you all for the advice. I can see there is a wide and varied range of opinions on this issue. I believe that I will get the fuel additive and try to locate a "Block Heater" and get that installed. Past that, I suppose it is keeping up with the maintenance...

What do you folks recommend to keep the engine of my 6.2 warm during the coming cold days? I was thinking about a heated dipstick which would keep the oil warm, but what about keeping the coolant warm as well? If both of areas were kept warm, I imagine my CUCV will start every time I turn the...

I checked ebay. This tool is over $120.00. I doubt i would use it enough to warrant it's purchase. Do you know where to get the tiny number tags for the wiring harness?

Yikes...! That tool is expensive. I think I will stick with solder... Thank you for the lead on the tool...

The wiring harness on my M101A2 trailer has some issues. I have the parts necessary (PS Magazine Issue 677, pages 9-13) to repair the connectors, but I don't have the crimping tool. Does anyone know the NSN for this tool or how to obtain one? Please advise

Does anyone have the NSN for a repair kit for the Inflate-A-Date?

While browsing this forum, I found a post that discussed the door locks and ignition switch. My CUCV had the factory locks and ignition, meaning of course that anyone with a CUCV key could snitch my truck. The post identified a source (GMCPauls Truck Parts) where you can obtain a replacement...

You were so on the money with the problem. My brother and I worked on my CUCV all day. I replaced the ignition switch and door locks (GMCPauls Truck Parts - under $50.00 w/ shipping), new light bulbs in the dash assembly, and yes, a new switch for the heater control. I bought the new switch...
