    M939/A1/A2 ABS vs. Non-ABS Trucks

    I drove the deuce, an M925 with Michelin super singles towing a M198 howitzer and a M977 HEMTT. I drove the M925 on the march into Iraq during the first gulf war. We did not have ABS and due to problems with the brakes on the M198 we never used the trailer brakes. The M198 weighs in at about...

    My new cucv.....couldn't escape the forklift :(

    It is pretty apparent you have a M1008 or such but one should remember that when you say cucv it could also be a M1009. Easy mistake but pointing this out may lead others away from confusion.

    **M35A3 Owners**: Question about MFG date of your trucks

    I was reopening this thread because of a question brought up in another thread. The question was like the one posed in this thread about manufacturing dates. One must keep in mind that using a couple of vehicles with new components amounts to making a new vehicle. In this example if you put a...

    Trailer Wiring adapter for CUCV...

    The vehicle harness for all the trucks were the same as the year of procurement. They did not get the updated connectors because they are not what was accepted by the government and they did not want to stock different parts based on the year by year changes. Get everything for these trucks by...

    Does anybody know what Radio Set came with the M75 APC?

    You must get a Ham radio license. There are a few frequencies at the upper end open to amateur radio.

    glow plug temperature switch

    Is the pictured one like the one you got. I did not have time to look for it today. I hope to have better luck tomorrow. We had a death in the family today so very little work got done.

    Civy wiper blades available from AutoZone!

    The 800 series five tons have the same cab. The 900 series 5 ton has a different cab. I think the 900 series have different wipers (with a park function) but may have the same shaft.

    Knackered glowplug relay

    This is why a manual switch needs to be a momentary switch. It is best to use something like a starter switch that takes a little effort to push in. Did you test the plugs? Connect a test light to the positive of the front battery then touch the probe to each glow plug terminal with the...

    M1009 roof Q

    They pop up on Ebay once in a while. I have some. They came in a GM wrapper but I do not recall the number.

    glow plug temperature switch

    It is not the same as a cicy setup. The temp sensor in the cucv setup provides constant variable resistance to tell the glow plug controler how long to run. The temp switch he is refering to is on teh back of the head installed in one of the crossover block off plates. The old style on the cucv...

    IIRC the splined bushing goes on with a set screw.

    Starting a 250 in the can

    Don't you think you should have checked the engine before you fried your other one? You should have at least checked to make sure it was an LDS not a Cummins. :twisted:

    Glow plug voltage

    You could bypass it and the 60Gs will work. To be safe you can bypass the resistor. You will not be able to start it with the slave cable if the batteries are totally dead. The slave cable provides only 24 volt and does not provide any 12 volt for starting. Given a few minutes the slave...

    Remarkably ridiculous

    If you called me Gimp, I would only put you on hold for about an hour. You want me to schedule your pickup? How about next Thursday at 11:30pm? I have you penciled in.

    Can anyone tell me how to remove the injectors on an m1009 cucv ?

    Check your other post for the answer.

    Glow plug voltage

    Where did you test for 12 volts and where. You have got to be real specific with this. Also, how long did you measure? Point is, the resistor drops the voltage to the relay but only when it has a load from the glow plugs. It also takes a few seconds for the load to drop. If you have the relay is...

    The 5-Ton HMTT is home!

    That warrants a five mile drive to Chelsea to check it out. We have to get together sometime. At least get to the same parade. Looks great.

    Civy wiper blades available from AutoZone!

    My local place crossed the Napa numbers to an number they could get. The Anco numbers are listed next to the Napa numbers in my post from the other thread. This stuff is all made by Anco no matter who puts a brand on it. If you want to order from Saturn I say go ahead. They are a good company...
