    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    You can use a standard military one or VDO and ISSPRO make excellent 24v voltmeters.

    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    Install a 24v VM and never look back. No resistors, no soldering, no mapping voltages. Why GM did it that way is beyond me.

    Ignition Lock Cylinder/Hot wire/Push-button start?

    After that info I bet Ignition switch. I just replaced one on Tuesday and it was getting rough turning the key. Didn’t realize it until new one installed. Butter smooth now.

    Truck-Lite LED Headlights----Finally Ordered a set.

    If you have 15 minutes and a Phillips screwdriver, your set. Extremely easy. Don’t forget to put electric grease on the connectors and lube your buckets.

    Ignition Lock Cylinder/Hot wire/Push-button start?

    This sounds like an issue that’s been building for a while. Like CUCVRUS said, it’s a very easy and inexpensive fix. You can do it in the parking lot. Borrow a steering wheel puller. That’s a whole lot easier than hacking into wiring.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Used both in the building of a new well house this past weekend. Did the tailgate modification on the tan trailer so it sits level and stronger. Worked great. Front gate modification has been done to both trailers and really comes in handy. These really handle weight nicely. Two tons of...

    Is this a military trailer?

    Looks like one to me. A European version of the M101 trailer.

    Use the best parts you can afford. It does make a difference and that’s a job you don’t want to do twice.

    Look on eBay There were both 12v only and 24v only sets on there last time I looked. Should be able to get part number off that. Every light are Truck-Lite LEDs on my M925A2 and headlights on my CUCVs. They make the best!

    White smoke solved!

    Injection pumps and transmissions go to the professionals, at least for me. Plenty of info in other threads as who to send it to. Been discussed quite a bit.

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    So do I, but when first got truck from auction, was just getting parts to get it going. Didn’t want to wait days for initial ACDelco parts. First it was the cheap fuel pump. Lasted two weeks. Replaced with ACDelco and no issues since. Now the Ignition Switch. Always replace parts now...

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    It’s fixed!!! New switch installed and it fired right up. I thought I had installed an ACDelco ignition switch when first getting truck going. I did not. It was not ACDelco but a different cheaper brand. This time I did install an ACDelco part. It fired right up and no fan issues anymore...

    Best tie down point locations for cargo control for a m101(a2) trailer

    Do the front gate modification and you’ll be all set.

    Glow plug light

    Replace the card. As mentioned, brand new improved ones are available for a good price. That’s a whole lot easier than slicing up the wiring harness.
