Just add a 12V alternator and be done with it, no need to go wild...

ISM / WiFi

Working on HID retrofit with E-code 6054 H4 housings.... Still gotta install 2.4ghz and gps antennas..

Drilled holes in the roof of my M1010, NMO mounts paired with LMR240... Got 4 in today, got 3 more tomorrow.... VHF PS - 1/2 wave GPS - RHCP 'puck' 2.4 (Wifi) - 5/8 over 5/8 2m/440 - 1/4 wave 2m = 3/4 wave on 70cm Chicken Band - Baseload 1/4 wave VHF Air - 1/4 wave 800 - elevated feed 5/8 over 5/8

Pulled my steering wheel off for the second time, to fix the turn signals.. Ended up just replacing the turn signal switch..Then realized that the stalk was twisted..... Jeez... privates sure do know how to screw things up.... Funny thing was... I have always been able to get steering wheels...

popped my steering wheel off and fixed my turn signals... kinda.... The turn signal switch metal contact was twisted.. put it back in place, worked perfectly... Put the steering wheel back on, and back to where we were.... ugh replaced the rear tail lights .... then moved my tag down...

Nope. equipt has been on there since day 1. Apparently WA does have a limit as far as how high brakes can be, but it's selectively enforced, Ie, I need a reason to stop this guy. Let's not derail the thread though ;)

I replanned my lightbar/brake light setup. I got yelled at for my 'brake lights being too high', by a county mounty.... State Patrol showed up and said it wasn't a big deal.. But, apparently, I got 'talked to' about impersonating a cop........ In a 30 y/o truck.... With army markings...

I'll have one of those too, eventually... Basically want a self sustained camper type platform with proper tools. At first I thought I'd go 24V tools, but realized the cost and availability was all but none. You can pick up decent air tools for dirt cheap, AND if I gotta have air for my...

I thought it'd be undersized for a larger truck.. but the M1010 is just 5/4 ton... Still too small? Suggestions on tank size/electric pump? PTO is out of the question (I think)

I got an M1010, wanted to get air horns but figured if I'm getting a tank, I might as well use it for onboard systems, including airing up tires, air tools, etc.. Wanna keep some common air tools so I can do work in the field kind of stuff... Any suggestions on how much I'd need for rare/random...

I always wondered why those trucks didn't have more than one port.. It would seem that in some situations it wouldn't be feasible to nose to nose the ports...

Thanks for hosting, it was a blast! Not enough... hahahah... I kid, I kid.. :beer:

Behr 4300. Told them the FS #s and they kicked out 3 gallons.. :D

Paint by numbers.... still goofed it up a little... freehanded it though....

Just an FYI, the alternator I got was not a direct fit. I did have to grind down the alternator bracket a fraction of an inch so it would go down far enough to allow the belt around the pulley. The factory 24V are almost completely round, whereas the replacement had some square corners on it...

After many cusswords, a couple of hours, some grinding, and a broken finger, I managed to get a 12V 'drop in' alternator into my M1010, methinks there might be different alternator brackets in use on some vehicles, and I drew the short stick... Ugh..

I will be bringing my stencil machine and my laptop. Anyone who needs stencils, I will make them, no charge. All I need is an AC power source ;) I am somewhat limited in size, as it can only do 8.5x11, but if you need longer stencils, I can make multiple pages and you can tape them together.

I custom made mine... :D I bought a stencil maker on ebay, basically a USB printer except it cuts stencils instead... Best $60 I ever spent!

Check your oil. Pray there's no coolant in it. Also, check your heater core, you can usually smell a bit of coolant in the cab when it starts to leak (remember the CV? LOL)
