    OK, M105A2 has a 24v wiring system?????

    OK, I just won my first trailer today which I am excited as _____! I just read another post here in which someone said that the M105A2 is a 24v system. I have a M1008 which was converted to 12v since I was unable to find a 24v starter at the time. I was under the impression that the only true...

    RE: Re: RE: M1008 Diesel Gas Cap - Want Locking Gas Cap Why not go to the junk yard or order online a fuel door/filler neck then buy alocking cap. The M1008 is a Chevy K30 so you could change out the filler neck opening to match a locking cap!!!!!

    What do you want changed about GL?

    Id like for the EUC to be less complicated! You must have a physical address and a home phone number but not a cell phone. Its easy to verify a P.O.Box also since the P.O. will have your physical address on file. Cell phone number would be in (Hopefully the users name). My old house phone is...

    Normal oil usuage?

    You never mentioned on how you checked the engine oil before and after. Did you check it the first time while engine is hot and the next time when the engine was cold. Check it when you have finished driving and do it again later on and sees what happens.
