If you jump the relay and it is cycling, you are bypassing the controller system altogether and there is nothing to prevent the glow plugs from operating, except a bad resistor pack. Check the voltage there (unless you are already pulling the voltage from the 12V junction). There are 2 20-amp...

When you jumped the solenoid, did it actuate (click)? With the temp sensor unplugged (open circuit), the GP's will operate as if the engine is cold. You can test the card/bulb by unplugging the module and jumping the dark blue wire to ground in the connector. Turn the key to run and the wait...

The correct Wellman plugs (with the smaller connectors) are available on eBay all the time. Then you don't have to change the connectors.

Why not just buy something designed to carry that much weight, like a 5-ton... :cookoo:

Not to mention the oil residue that would filth up the engine compartment....

I found it and submitted it to the Technical Articles section, so watch for it tomorrow...

I've got some pages from a TB somewhere that addresses putting an M880 cover on an M1008. This practice was officially recommended by the Army as a money saver for units. It tells what you should mod to do it. I'll see if I can dig it out...

Sometimes, you can find them on eBay. Check the dealers, too. You could luck out at a regular auto parts store, but don't count on it. The ground has to be isolated, unless your're going to put your good alternator on the rear battery (passenger side) and the new one (if it does not have ground...

I know they used to monitor the MV list, so I'd imagine they watch some of these sites too, just to see what people are interested in. A while back, they listed an XM410E1 8x8 in a regular sale. The bidding got up to over $7K and they pulled it before the bidding ended in order to relist it in a...

I think I rememeber reading (perhaps in David Doyle's book?) that the military actually banned the towing of the 10-tons with medium wreckers because of these problems...

RE: yup... No rumbling here. My confusion was cleared up. I think ida34 is very correct with his initial assesment. Although I am glad to hear he can see how the system can be mis-leading... :) I just could not see the circuit until I drew it out. I blame that on my familiarity with the...

RE: Re: RE: More 1009 battery problems Well, you are absolutely correct. Once I drew out the circuit for myself, I realized that the M1010 with it's 24V system was clouding my brain. The isolated grounds make each alternator charge each battery separately as it's own 12V system, as you...

Re: RE: More 1009 battery problems I'm with you. Everyone needs the right information. This must be a semantic problem, because you obviously haven't blown up either of your systems yet. This charging system has been discussed many times on this board. There is no 24V battery, so I'm not sure...

Alternators are the same. But, unless you have converted your truck to a strictly 12V system, the right alternator is charging the 24V system, not the 12. Trace it's output. It goes straight to the 24V buss bar on the firewall. That, is a 24V source that comes from BOTH batteries wired in...

The system is really a "hybrid", not 2 separate 12-volt systems. Both batteries are used to provide power for the glow and starting systems. The passenger (right) alternator is used for charging the 24-volt across both batteries. The driver alternator charges the front battery with 14V and...

If it was run out of fuel, the injector lines are dry, as is the pump. Pulling the pink wire will keep the IP from trying to pump fuel out to the lines and injectors. The IP will get fuel, but it will not bleed the air in the injector lines. Will it start eventually? Sure, but the starter will...

You might also need to crack the injectors and bleed the air out of the pump that way, since the pump is after the filter housing.

Re: Put 1050 CA 875 CCA in mine but took some mods My M1028A1 had 6TMF's, but one appeared to have a bad cell. I needed new batteries for my civvy truck anyway (one of the side termianls was bad) and they still had 2 years (and they had top posts too), so I threw them in the CUCV. I had 6TL's...

The current 6TMF batteries, which have replaced the 6TL's, typically have 750 CCA. They usually are rated for 200+ minutes of reserve capacity and measure about 11" x 10.5" x 9H. They are heavy as hell (75lbs or so) and they are expensive (usually $120-$160 each new :shock: ), although there is...

True, the foot traffic is decent, but the spaces are small. If you're driving a duece or anything large, you need 2 spaces back to back, just to fit the vehicle and have some display area for stuff. If MV's get in without vehicle passes, then I could live with that. I've heard that before but I...
