    Now I'm a liar

    It's a standard, wire wound resistor. The resistance should be 0.28 ohms +/- 5%. Any normal variation of temperature would not affect the resistance.

    do the m1008 & m1009 use the same radiator?

    They are the same.

    Now I'm a liar

    I'm not sure what his point is? You do test the resistance of a substance under no load with an ohm meter, but your last under load test seems to indicate the resistor is fine.

    M104 trailer - I think?

    The manuals will be harder to get. I dug out a 1968 US Army handbook that lists the TM's for it. I will double check, but I'm pretty sure they are the 213 series manuals, the current version of which now only contain M105 trailers. You will probably need to find an actual print version from the...

    Now I'm a liar

    That's where most people move it to. No fuse needed. The wire is almost the perfect length as it is. Remove it from the resistor and move it to the junction. The plugs are not in use very long or when you are using lots of accessories, so you should not overload the wire. To be safe, just make...

    M105A3 TrailerQuestions

    Not the best pic, but it's the right model... http://www.angelfire.com/sd2/82crewcab/brass/M105A3/pics/M105A3.jpg GL... http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=947619

    New Truck, another bridge type

    Re: Spacer Nah, just limit youself to a 10000# payload at all times... ;) Singles would be cool too.

    Now I'm a liar

    Yeah, but you must test it loaded and don't test it for long. Or, just hook them to the 12V junction and don't worry unless you are stone dead and need a slave start.

    Now I'm a liar

    No, this is a CUCV only problem caused by the firewall resistor in series with the glowplugs. If that plug goes bad, it will just be a little harder to start in the cold, but probably not very noticeable. Civvy trucks pull directly from the batteries (12V parallel) and therefore cannot see an...

    Mike, I lumped you in as one of the "many people"... :D

    Now I'm a liar

    After I posted in the other thread that the voltage doesn't change, I got out the pen and paper to do some calculations because too many people have stated this as the reason and it's been too long since I did any circuit design. Jeff is on the money here. The firewall resistor and the glow...

    M104 trailer - I think?

    The chassis is an M102 model, as opposed to the M103 that the M105 variants use. If I remember, the side gussets on the body do not kick out at the bottom like an M105. I'll try to find a pic. One actually sold at Aberdeen a few years back. Pretty cool trailer. Stock tires were 11.00x20's, as it...

    EMP & The CUCV

    That's not the kind of EMP we are talking about. That's like arguing that the 50000 volts from the coil on my 57 Chevy didn't kill me, so how could anything less? Sure, there is no hard evidence of the scale of weapon being discussed, but the effect, how it happens and what it does is well...

    SS diesel glow plugs

    RE: Re: RE: 12 vs 24? Check the output of the resistor. An hour will not hurt them either, but while driving the truck might be a little different. Not only are you stressing them with temperature, but they are also being subjected to continual high combusiton pressures, fuel spray and engine...

    SS diesel glow plugs

    RE: 12 vs 24? The G070's are the CUCV plugs. Were the old plugs (13G's) not working? It sounds like you've got 2 swelled plugs. I'd be a more than a little pissed at receiving 1 (or more) AC 11G's when I ordered G070's! The stock system does not switch from 24V to 12V after "a second or two"...

    Installing a Amp for speakers in CUCV!

    It was actually a joke... My days of high power audio started in 1988 and I never suffered hearing loss either.

    Installing a Amp for speakers in CUCV!

    Good point. Even though you will probably go deaf if you listen at a level that uses enough power to overload the stock wiring to the junction block, I have always powered my stereo equipment from the battery directly as well. For casual listening, the junction block will provide enough power...

    Installing a Amp for speakers in CUCV!

    The stock CUCV alternators are rated at 100 amps, so they have plenty of power. The best place to pull your 12V power is the junction block on the firewall just to the left (looking at the firewall) of the glow plug relay. If you find that there's not enough power, then you might upgrade the 12V...

    looking for a M1008/M1010 radio mount

    RE: M1010 radio tray photos The M1010's have the "bent" transfer case shift lever. It actually points to the rear as is seen in the pics, so it does not interfere. That bracket will not work in an M1008, M1009 or M1028. It might work if you are running in 4L all the time, but I doubt it based...

    saw a deuce in philly suburb today. anybody know who owns?

    I sold my M35A2 and M105A2 to a guy in Philly. Was it 3-color? Vinyl cab cover? Fiberglass troop seats? Really clean, fresh 3-color CARC? Did it have a canvas cover on the winch? Any othre details you remember or noticed?
