I do that too. Especially if it is a semi truck and I can look at the guy and bop the throttle. I only win if they don't know we are racing. I was trying to impress upon the new guy that these trucks do very well at what they were designed to do. Modern p/u's have a different design goal...

I would look for loose or grounding wires if you have an intermittant fault. The Diode Trio is a solid state component and it pretty much a good or bad. Not a sometimes. Does your volt meter move up or down with the light showing up or not? I ask because the si alternators just need the...

The big long bolt on the bottom of the passenger side alternator goes into the cylinder head. Figure 34 of the -34P shows this. How far into the head is it? If it is near the surface, put a nut over it and weld the broken bolt to the inside of the nut. Careful where you hook up your ground...

Yes I have flown jets. Helicopter too. Just small Cessnas the last few years though. I drove my M35 Gasser to work yesterday and if you look at a 3 year old thread made active today by somebody else about that truck, you will see that I did pretty much build it. I drove the M1009 today and I...

I had a Gasser full of Scouts for the parade here in Giddings. Saw a M1009 go by on 290 headed toward Austin while we wee staging Saturday morning. Did anybody drive in from my way? Had a slight lift with a big drop reciever hitch.

To answer your original question. Yes it can be turned up and very easy to do. However, the more you turn it up the more heat you make. That is why you want a pyrometer to tell you how much heat your are making and that your pistons are about to melt. No matter how much you turn it up, you...

I am new to the CUCV world. Not the MV world or this site though. I have been reading for years about CUCV starter, glow plug and alternator troubles. So much that I was really hesitant to get one for myself. So, now that I have one I want to pass on a few things I have learned about the...

Then pull it apart. Once you see the exploded view in the -30 and -30P, you will understand why I wasn't in a hurry to pull it apart.

Sam, Warthog bought a pair of 1009's out of Arkansas GSA sometime last year. He used both to make the one "ol Ag" now has. I went up to OKC to get it and some other stuff back in December. Once we had the M35 bed to finish out my Gasser, another M105 trailer and a LDT-465 loaded up. We were...

Turn your key on but don't start the truck. Look at the volt meter. Wherever it is is your volt meters idea of 24.4-24.8 volts if your batteries are both charged up. Mine is about the middle of the yellow over the "-" at this point. Yours will probably be different. Once you start the...

We each seem to have our own preference on the tow bar length. I have pulled in the 1st hole, 3rd and 7th holes. I prefer the 3rd. Do as mentioned above, be comfortable and add safety chains.

You can pull the column out of the box. Refer to the -30 manual about what has to be done. MVM did an article a while back about steering box removal as well. I chose to keep it all together because it worked great. I figured if I bent something or didn't get it back together right, it...

Then check the flasher itself. Pin “A” to a light bulb which is grounded Pin”B” to a 24VDC source Pin “C” to ground When “B” is connected, the light should blink about 80 times.minute

I agree with the CDR check first. To go from no leak to a flood is not normal.

I agree. Pull the starter and see what it looks like inside.

I think the problem with mine is down on the seat frame. But, I don't know. That is why I started this thread, to see what it was supposed to look like at each end. Oh well, it works which is all I wanted.

I know you wrote that the batteries are new. But, have you had them load tested? I ask because that low of a voltage is way way down there. If the terminals are getting hot, how about the starter and solenoid. If it is just the terminals, I would think you have some bad cables or cable...

Sorry about the not so great phone picture, but you should get the point.

I rebuild and fixed ALT2 finally and then my starter started acting funny. Before I pulled it off, I looked through my box of starter parts just seing what all I have collected over the years that might apply. When I saw my container of solenoid to starter copper spacers, I had the solution to...

Pretty much every civilian alternator sold since 1987 in normal vehicles is a remove and replace type of unit. They are not rebuildable. My skills and knowledge base for testing each individual component in an alternator have slipped because I haven't had to mess with rebuilding any in a...
