Trying to help out the local forestry get their M1008 back up for fire season. Driver said when he went to start it during the glow plug cycle he heard a snap or pop bang etc and everything went dead. I went over and checked the battery voltage 26+ volts, same at the glowplug relay, have 13+...

This is what I did to fix mine. Catalog

I am repairing a few units just received by the forest service. The oil pressure, voltmeter and water temp gages are fluttering back and forth, not working at all or sometimes working. I have not taken the gage panel off yet but looking for advice on the problem such as a ground for the gage...

I paid $75 for the rear brackets as I had the front, bought two sets here from members and paid the same for both.

The linkage at the actuator was out of adjustment. I backed the speed control off to about 40Hz then lengthened the rod approx 3/8 to 1/2 inch and re-adjusted the speed control right up to 60-61Hz. Did notice when the air compressor kicks on it dips down to 57Hz for half a second or so then...

I have swapped out several pumps and I leave the lines attached to the pump when I remove it, unhooking them from the injectors only. Once out I set it on a clean flat surface and then remove the lines and pull the pump away from the cluster of lines. This leaves them in position to re-install...

A generator cover will have cutouts to match the fender profile, looks like a cargo cover.

That is a nice looking set and might be a ss record for long distance recovery. I like the fuel tank but when it's full it must be quite a chore to get the trailer lifted up on the hitch with that extra weight.

I just looked it up in the TM, a M1031 cab-chassis weighs 5250lbs, a M1010 ambulance weighs 7370lbs, so the box weighs 2,120lbs. Of course the ambulance has a spotlight on the roof and a air conditioning pump extra so you are atleast looking at 2,000lbs.

I removed one of these from my M1010, I can tell you it is way too heavy. But go ahead and give it a try, you'll have reverse arched springs as a bonus.

I agree with DocWatson, your IP is worn out if it won't hot start. By not replacing it you are increasing the wear on the starter and glow plug system.

That bigger shelter in an Ambulance box and is way too heavy for a 3/4 ton trailer. It's designed for a 1 1/4 ton truck.

I know from personal experience that an S-250 will not fit in a 3/4 ton cargo trailer. I have seen them mounted on 3/4 ton gen trailers though. I ended up storing mine in a M105 trailer.

The 24v starter draws half the amps the 12v does giving you much better starting in cold weather. The glow plugs also tap off the 24v system giving less amp draw from the batteries.

I have the manual and it did not cover this problem, I will disconect the ramp and try it.

I am using a Fluke 177 meter, not the truck gage. I can turn the screw alot more with no results. It will decrease in speed with adjustment of the screw and increase but only up to 58Hz. I will check the linkage.

They usually require a sperate control panel to operate them. There is a lengthly post where a ss member built his own panel.

I have ran out of adjustment on my speed control. I get to 58Hz and it won't turn up any faster. The screw will turn more but no additional speed increase. Any one else run into this?
