    I had a traffic director mounted on the rear of my M1009.... The 2 red LEDs were wired as auxiliary turn signal/brake lights.. as I had almost been rear ended multiple times... I passed a Sherriff deputy, and had my turn signal on to change lanes, and he pulled me over, saying only ambulances...

    as3900 is 1", 12 TPI? Good to know. I'll have to see about making an adapter for my faux CREW DUKE antenna.

    Tossing the push button start

    Considering I'd be looking at risking having to tear out my steering column, and I wanted switches anyway.....:grd: Speaking from first hand knowledge, a lot of agencies do whatever works to get them back on the road.....Then can't find the time or even care to fix it right because 'it...

    Why didn't they just use 24v glow plugs?

    Already push button.

    Tossing the push button start

    they probably did that for a reason, just an FYI. I changed mine because my ignition cylinder froze. Easier (and cooler, IMO) to use switches... https://youtu.be/OAm-N_PbREE your starter circuit is on a Pink wire, IIRC

    Can you run JP8 in the CUCV M1009 ?

    Hahahh... That's one of the things I point out on my truck... 'see the size of the fuel cap? For logistics reasons they can just shove in a larger nozzle, and use JP4, JP8, or whatever they had available'... An exclamation of 'that's awesome, it can run on jet fuel' or some variation thereof...

    Why didn't they just use 24v glow plugs?

    doesn't it just seem simpler to have 24v glow plugs to meet the NATO 24v starting requirement instead of the problematic resistor setup? or.. was it a cost cutting measure? no 24v plugs at the time? I've already bypassed the resistor and moved supply to 12v..why shouldn't I just get 24v plugs...

    Trans issue (m1010)

    So.. O'reilly lied and said the Wix filter had the pickup tube o-ring. It didn't. They say none of them do, and seemed upset with ME that they gave me the wrong info. TM shoots out a GMPart# of 6771005, but no one seems to be able to cross reference that to anything usable... Grrrr
