Well... where do I start... The pump under the hood is for the 4000 watt tank heater, it has an electronic controller in the cab. I converted the truck to 12 volts and modified the front battery mount to hold both battery's. The passenger alternator was out so I replaced it with a Nippon...
porkysplace the alternators im installing have an internal voltage regulator. They are Nippon Denso. I know the pin out of the new ones im just trying to figure out the existing wires in the truck.
Greetings fellow CUCV enthusiasts. I have a M1031 that I'm doing an alternator swap on. I get aircraft alternators for free and decided to incorporate them on the 1031. I have the brackets modified and everything lined up nicely. My truck is 12 volts and I'm running two separate 12v systems...
Greetings everyone.
I just recently converted my M1031 to 12 volts. I've had it over 4 years and the generator system was working perfect. Since the conversion the governor wont ramp up the motor. I verified the safety switches and made sure there were no loose wires. The only wires I...
I ran into a guy today wanting to sell me around 20 C turbos. I didn't take it before seeing if there is any interest. If anyone is interested let me know and i will buy them and post it in the classifieds.
I have a complete and functional welder and generator in my M1031. I'm tossing around the idea of removing it for weight reasons. This is not an ad, I'm just curious if there interest interest in this old and heavy equipment.
A few months back I installed a frost plug heater. It worked very well until one day on a joy ride the clamp let go and scorched the block on the way out(long drive home and a lot of water). Anyways, I tried to re-seat the heater with no success. Put in a new frost plug, with no success. Put...
Primary Fuel Filter Entering PSI and Primary Fuel Filter leaving PSI. I burn a fair amount of waste oil and I'd much rather know when my PFF is getting plugged so I can change it in my driveway opposed to a walmart parking lot.
One gauge would suffice, but only to a point. This morning when it was 30 degrees my tank pump was pushing 6.5 PSI, after a 2 hour errand run around town the diesel was nice and warm and it was pushing 8.5 PSI. Temperature makes a big difference! That is why I chose 2 gauges so I could...
My pressure readings are after the tank pump and before the IP gear pump. The higher pressure gauges come in after the IP gear pump. Not every pressure is going the be the same between trucks, there's many variables that come into play.
It typically runs between 5 and 9 PSI depending on fuel type and temperature. A new filter has about a 1/2 PSI drop and when it gets up around 3 I start noticing power loss.
