I'm in the process of converting my M373A2 into a RV/Rally camper. I have a lot of pictures and will start a build thread when I get a little more done. In the mean time here are a few pictures to start out. The trailer was your basic storage type. There were no windows or electrics added and...

If it's like the M818, it's on the outside of the frame behind the driver's side front tire. .

I'll enter my M915A1 tractor and M373A2 trailer.

I'll be there with something, probably the M915. I'm looking forward to it, thanks for taking the event coordination over.

+2, make sure you know what the brake fluid is. One of my trucks that I got back in the GL days had DOT 3 in it and I poured DOT 5 in. Fortunately I noticed it (it's easy to tell because they don't mix) and suctioned out the mixture and put DOT 3 in and was good to go. Looks like a nice truck.

At this point I would see if I could get someone to tow or trailer me home before I run out of money. The alternative is park it some place until you can get enough money and parts together to go get it.

Test alternator #2 on the truck with the engine running by running a jumper wire from the alternator's B+ terminal to regulator terminal #1. This will turn on the regulator and the alternator will charge if it works.

The "sound of comfort" also drowns out snoring!

I like the screw terminals. It makes for a cleaner installation.

The picture of the alternator plug shows the crimp splice is on the #1 regulator terminal. That is the exciter terminal and turns on the regulator. I don't think you can tie alternator #1 and #2 together this way on the original isolated ground system. Does the other end of the jumper go to...

A shovel works pretty good too.

Yes, that is what I did. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?77513-Rear-End-Seal-for-M818&p=979551&viewfull=1#post979551

Rub it in.....

CUCVs are slow under the best conditions. 8000 feet elevation is not the best condition. Having driven a 1984 GMC 3/4 ton pickup with the 6.2 all over the pacific north west in 1989, I can tell you for a fact at high elevation you are going to see a lot of smoke and not much go. The truck is...

I only have a tiny M929... Nice looking truck.

Have a safe trip and good luck with your new home.

The light should come on if everything is connected properly. You can make a test light if you don't have one to easily test your alternator on the truck. Hook it up as shown below. This is a Delco 10SI alternator that I converted to isolated ground. This alternator has the same regulator that...

I don't include the resistor in my kits because not all alternators have the resistor. If the resistor is there, it is reusable. You can test the alternator on the vehicle with the engine running by connecting a wire from the B+ terminal on the alternator under test to the #1 regulator...

You have a pretty good imagination if you think someone who risks his life to rescue an unconscious person trapped in a burning automobile cares only about himself.

It's hard not to like an automatic transmission in stop and go traffic, I don't care what kind it is.
