duvac... I had the same troubles you describe.since it's a converted ambulance,you should see a small black/aluminum box mounted just aft of the duvac.this little box is the switch (don't ask me just how it works...i just know what it does) that cycles one of the alternators to either charge...

cool... congratulations. I think this is the first time one of my tips actually worked... 8)

it's hot... opening up the air filters assembly does help flow...but it just flows hot underhood air.it won't help much, imop...gotta feed it cooler air.getting it from the grill under the windshield is a good spot.ever drive your cucv in rain?notice that there is a portion of the hood where...

pull the cover... have you pulled the cover off the wiper motor yet? remove the plugs and the cover pops off...iirc,there is a solinoid that engages a cam affair on the wiper motor assembly.could be something jamming the works. Not GM's best design ever... :)

yup... agreed...high compression and water...bad!

another vote... For the 4bt...real close in weight to the 6.2,more than enough power,and easily tunable for lots more.it's short,so much less fuss under hood. As an industrial engine,it's built for real work.less weight means fewer suspension mods.i personally think that a 6b is too heavy for...

just did mine... before i left on vacation i replaced the pipes on the m-1010.a local muffler shop made complete dual exaust from scratch.i went with duals without a crossover,in 2.5 inch diameter.as mentioned,any bigger is a waste of money.the stock 6.2 simply dosn't flow enough exaust to...

On the way home from my vacation,stayed at my uncles for a couple days...it was a dark and foggy night.really,really foggy.parked in his unlit driveway before he got home.he elected to back in when he arrived.bad choice.

one more... on the way back (last leg) stopped at a surplus yard next to the hiway.he was closed,but took some pics...

yup... ya...your right.it's a skill set all to many people lose in summer.the pictures don't do it justice.the shot of the line in kenora shows what happens when a trucker loses it in the wrong spot.went down a hill full of rocks,while jackknifed and hits more rocks at the bottom.in the one...

more... here's a couple more.

finally made it back to edmonton.heres a couple pics.weather was brutal...easily the worst it's ever been on this run.iv'e made this trip six times before,and it was terrible.

almost there... made it into brockville ont' last night...weather has been predictably bad. highways were a mess from edmonton to the Soo'...police closed the hi-way at winnipeg/portage' due to blizzard conditions,but i found my way around on a secondary road. snowing rather heavily right...

leaving this morning...Edmonton Alberta to dalhousie New Brunswick.About 10,000 k'm's return...not counting running around.Taking the M-1010! got a line on a private MV collection in south ONT'.if i can get a view i'll get some pics.i'll be on the look out for mv's. Merry Christmas! talk in a...

DW?? Could have another cause...you mentioned it happens on rough roads.worn spring bushings,especially in the rear of the spring (at the swivel shackle),will allow the axle to wobble sideways slightly...often at that certain speed,on rough roads. you might try a lower tire pressure in front as...

KAY... i take it you have some experience with bad grounds... :lol: i agree by the way.it's a classic ground problem. problem being...the other flood works fine.they both ground to the same body section,that being the ambulance box.so...box to frame ground path is fine,frame to electrical is...

TEST LIGHT... Test light...makes sense to put a load on it.i don't have one,so i'll pick one up tonight. what,potentially,could cause this?it certainly seems like a bad ground...is there anything else i should look for...pehaps a bad switch?

had a floodlamp go out on my m-1010.it's the passengeer side one,on the ambulance body.thinking it's a simple burnt out bulb...so i remove the entire flood assembly and test for continuity with my multimter.surprised to find that the bulb is good. now i think that i have a bad ground,as these...

not that bad... basic crossover kit (drag link,ends,steering arm,pitman arm),1 1/2 x .250 wall tie rod plus ends for same,and a stud kit for the right side including conical nuts,came to 660$ canadian including shipping.(vancouver island to edmonton). the large tie-rod is an option.check out...

OH WELL... no worries :) ...i would have wanted the lights to work anyway.just another visual warning.although,by the time it gets that hot iv'e already got a serious problem :D still dosn't explain the erratic glows though.perhaps,when i was messing with the oil sender,i wacked the glow...
