Anyone??? Getting ready to start at it again and really need to know what the upper alternator output should be at the output post.
I think I might have a bad alternator but no one open on Sunday can test a 28 volt one.
Hi guys,
Okay, so I have been reading SS for the last month (well before I got my M1010) and know there are a number of issues with the DUVAC system and charging on 1010's in general. There seems to be a number of different solutions on removing this troublesome system. Also a lot of...
Awesome! Thanks a bunch for finding that info. I am still learning on how to use the TM's, not having any military background so it can be hard to find the info for a newbie. :confused:
Hi all,
I have been doing searches to find out this info but everything I find about alternator sizes relates to M1008/1009's and M1010 are completely different beasts.
From my research online and looking at pictures, it "seems" that M1010 alts are what is known as a J180 mount/size but I...
Okay, got all the lines replaced and managed to fit a line on the broken nipple on the vacuum pump. I get a nice steady 8" vacuum on the output side of the vacuum valve on the IP so I figure the pump is still fine. Still did not get the correct shifting as I should. Checked the vacuum at the...
Thanks a bunch guys!!! Warthog, your link gives me what I need. Glad to know the larger line with the Tee in it is not a major missing part and just a testing tap. Need to get a new vacuum pump and some lines. [thumbzup]
Actually I just noticed that the "old site" is back online so I was able to download the TM's.
What I cannot seem to find is anything regarding the vaccum lines, routing and such. I found how to replace the vaccum pump but nothing about the line and what goes to where.
maynard83, do you...
Hi guys,
I had thought I saved the TM before the old site went down but I guess I did not. I just got a new to me, M1010 and am going over the systems to figure out what is wrong or right.
After taking off the air cleaner I found none of the vaccum lines connected, which is why the...
Looking good.
BTW, the vent window numbers you posted are the same numbers for LH and RH. I assume this is not correct? Do you have correct numbers?
Keep up the great build!
Being where the crack is at, you will likely be looking for a new transmission. Most welding shops, to even weld that, will require complete disassembly of the transmission anyways so you would be better off finding a replacment.
Bummer. Sounds like it was picked up with a forklift, since...
Hi everyone,
Since I am seriously considering a M1010 and the heater for the box is a major plus, I am curious how it works? I read it's a diesel heater. To run this, do you have to have the main engine running or will this run stand alone via batteries? For those who have the working...
You know the Interstate battery distributor for San Diego county is just off Miramar road.

I have bought drirectly from them for years.
I don't want to be flamed beyond belief but my reason for a M1010 is to build my camp rig. I currently use a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and a Kamparoo trailer and am trying to get to a single, self contained vehicle for our travels. I just about bought a 4x4 E350 Type 2 ambulance earlier this week but...
maynard83 - Very cool rig you got there. I just contacted Mark to see if he had any 1010's and said he just recently sold the one he had, which is yours now.
Since I am seriously thinking of buying one of these but have never seen one in person, would it be possible to meet up with you one...
Thanks for that link. When I clicked it, I get a message that says I can't post until I have 5 posts. That explains it but it would have been easier had this was mentioned on that page too. :-D
Funny, I can't post looking to buy a vehicle that would then lead me to actually posting questions...
Hello all,
I am new to this site but not to the world of online forums (in about 15 different ones). I am trying to put a WTB ad for a M1010 in the classified area but for the life of me cannot find the link to start a new post. I have spent about 30 minutes clicking different things...
