Great post MarcusOReallyus. Just for reference that glow plugs are not needed, Cummins engines do not have glow plugs. They use compression only (well and a heating grid in the intake but many remove/disable that due to issues).

That looks like the one I have. Yes, the same t-stat housing fits.

Biggest thing I seem to run into is, I haven't really found anyone who did a turbo setup on a M1010 keeping the dual passenger side alternator setup. Seems most are installing on M1008 or M1009 which uses a single pass. and driver side small alts. I just cannot see how a turbo setup is going...

True, I actually haven't planned out things 100% so wood cost is unknown and definitely more work. Definitely want to see how this turns out. I have a couple designs I have been working on and I think this idea is winning so far.

I really love how this is turning out. I had seriously looked at 80/20 to frame out my plans but the cost started to get crazy. I love how it's like big kids version of an Erector set. LOL What are you going to use to face these and how does that mount?

If you haven't installed a ORD steering box brace, I would seriously consider it so you don't crack the frame, especially since you are using the dropped pitman arm. http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/steeringkit.htm

****! That sucks. Hopefully no damage to the engine.

Well I am convinced and looking at mine, I do not have it. Just ordered one off Ebay.

I have read on some other forums (can't recall now which ones) that GM stopped using that bar as it was leading to cracked trans cases. Just something might want to research more.

Yep, I ordered 3, one for my wife and two for me. :)

I believe that is correct, based on what I have read.

I am curious what you find out. What pricing are they doing for this? I am tossing between something like this or a Gear Vendors unit. Pros and cons to both.

Cool, interested to see what you got. The hitch pics

Got some time on the M1010 Saturday and got the front shocks swapped out to Bilstein 5165 shocks. Surprisingly the original shocks still had pressure and were not leaking.

Man that is looking great. This is what I am needing to do on mine but want to strip mine down when I am a little closer to actually building out the back.

Nice work.

Too bad you guys are not local to me. I am going to be pulling off the hitch that was installed on my M1010. Would let it go cheap but not worth trying to ship.

Agreed but the nice thing about keeping the relay is, you take all of the load off of the ignition switch. Removing the relay means the higher current gets passed through the ignition switch.

Relays are an electromechanical item and subject to failure like anything else. Could just be a bad relay, if you have checked all of your wiring and found that is all good. If they never failed, why would they be selling them? I would say replace and move on.

If your frame is not already cracked, then ORD offers a steering brace kit to prevent it. If it is, they offer a frame repair piece too. I put the brace on my last M1010 and will on my current one. http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/steeringkit.htm
