Yes, Dana 70HD is the correct rear axle.

The one I liked was a M1008 that was up recently. Of the 5 pictures, 4 of them were clear and the truck looked pretty straight. The other picture was of the passenger side from the rear. It was the only blurry picture, and if you looked closely, the bed was caved in just behind the cab on that...

I doubt anyone inspected those trucks. From the pics, the one that went the highest looked very clean, but that's still getting a little carried away.

This is exactly what you are supposed to do. The woodland camo that is so common has kind of become the standard, but depending on the native foliage of the area where the truck is used, the colors are supposed to be adjusted accordingly. From TB 43-0209:

That's a new one on me, too. Then again, while that truck is exceptionally clean, not much about it is correct for a military dually.

So, the top of fender is probably 5.5'. Even bigger indeed...

The top of the fender is probably about 5', if you go off the fact that the 16.00R20's are about 46" tall.... Big indeed... :drool:

All of the ones that I've seen for the Contact Maintenace CUCV trucks were made by Able Body Corporation. There was a guy on eBay recently in NJ, but he wanted $1500, then it was relisted for $999. It was only the shell, no tools, generator, etc...

So, you no longer have the problem with the 60G's? It is now hooked up with the resistor and working fine? And nothing else changed?

RE: glow plugs This reminds me of the other thought I had about voltage sensing. I thought maybe the card prevents the plugs from cycling if the voltage is too high? That would prevent them from burning out. But, it seems to me that a few folks have said that the card burns out with this sort...

RE: 12 vs 24? True, if the batteries are stone dead, that is a drawback. I was just saying that if the card still works properly (under normal conditions) when that mod is performed, then I don't think the firewall resistor figures into what it's doing with the voltage.

I agree, there would be some salvageable stuff if they go cheap enough. But, here's a thought for those who think these trucks are totally sealed: How many military trucks have you ever seen with oil leaks of some type? Guess what? If it can let oil out, it can let water in!! Especially when...

RE: 12 vs 24? I understand they have the same source, but I don't see how that helps. If it is sensing the voltage at the source (after the resistor) and using that voltage, then it can only determine how hot the resistor bank has actually gotten, right? I guess it could use this value to...

RE: 12 vs 24? Forgive me, as it's been 15 years since I've done any actual circuit design, but since you used the word "draw", I assume we are actually talking current, not voltage? The voltage potential across the output of the relay and ground (which is all the controller knows about) is...

I finally got around to uploading some pics of my old M1028A3 with the 200-amp charging system, if anyone is interested. They're in the Photo Gallery section under CUCVFAN. Boy, do I miss that truck... :( Oh well, I'll just have to get the M1028A1 into shape soon!

RE: 12 vs 24? So, I thought that the module used the temperature switch to determine how long to energize the plugs and a timer to turn on the wait light? How does measuring the voltage at the relay help it determine how long to energize the plugs? I see that the wiring diagram calls the orange...

RE: 12 vs 24? What does it determine from the voltage on the orange wire and how does it use it? I've never really looked at the circuitry that closely.

I'm sure Murphy will hang out here a bit tomorrow too. He always does... :roll: Good luck and play safe.

RE: 12 vs 24? Personally, I think the stock system works quite well as it is, so I'm not much into modifying it. But.... Why can you not use the stock controller? If you got a 24V relay with a 12V coil (although the stock relay might survive for a while - I'm not really sure of it's actual...

The main difference is the 3/16" CUCV spade connector versus the regular 1/4" connector. Be sure to get the temperature regulating dual coil (non-swell) type, too. AC 60G's for civilian (or equivalent) or the Wellman G070's for the CUCV.
