It is much worse in a video than in person. Friends have said the same thing about the engine noise of a deuce when they hear it in a video. They think they will go deaf just standing beside it and were surprised it was much quieter in person. The microphone in the cameras amplify it a lot...
Was finally able to get it to download.
TM manual seems to be a later edition than what the others have been looking for, as it is a TM 9-4940-468-14 instead of TM 9-4940-468-13.
TM 9-4940-468-14 Operator's, organizational, direct support, and general support maintenance manual for tool...
Not sure if anyone is still looking for the manual, but I ran across it on Google Books. You can't seem to download it, but you can at least view it online.

If someone finds a way to download it, they should try posting it for those that...
There is definitely not 24volts going to the fan, for as I said before, the truck was converted to 12volts. There is no 24volts in the truck. The fan in the unit works, but it is slow, meaning that it is getting 12volts which enough to get it to spin, but not at full speed.
Great. I was...
Never heard of anyone who sells second hand utility consoles. I have seen a few companies that sell used rack systems out of the back of those service trucks, but never a center console. Very few service trucks I have seen actually have special center consoles. The vehicles I have seen who...
Its the hub assembly on the rear diff's (only) that need to be flipped.
First pic is non flipped. You can see that it is closer to the inside of the diff and will hold two tires.
Second pic is of the hub flipped. Is pushed outwards, so the tire will be better centered.
Both pics are of the...
I haven't dealt with this person, but I have seen the AD in the classified section in case you decide on buying one:

Actually the diagnostic plug is still there. Sorry, should have been more clear. This was an additional set of wiring. Likely to control some extra light system they had installed. There was some odd bracket sitting beside the 4x4 shifter which probably held the controls. We ended up moving it...
We have an M1010 which was converted to 12v by a police agency before we bought it. To start off with, the electrical system was pretty messed up when we got the truck. The previous owner (who had bought it from the PD a little while before) said the truck ran well, but after getting it, we...
Shame on you for selling such a nice M1010..........to someone other than me!
Good looking truck. Hope the new owner will treat her well.
Here is our M1010. Last picture is of our first patient. You'll be glad to know that he pulled through!
DND has its own plates for trucks up here. Not sure what the truck was doing down in PA, but it was probably there as part of some sort of training.
These trucks are basically just something to tide over the military till they find a better replacement for the M35 series of trucks (called...
You can simply type in "roof top tent" and it will bring you up with many companies. The tents are made to be installed on the roof of your car/truck. They were developed in Africa to keep people away from the lions and other dangerous things on the ground.
Added a pic of how it open/closes...
I will definitely be ready to use it this summer. We did a big move this fall so I didn't have time to do the rest, but the big jobs are done. I plan on going up way north this summer to try it out.
Here are a few more pics. Some of the interior welting for the bends. I put stabilizer feet on...
As for a camper trailer, I made one from a Pioneer Tool Trailer.
Cut out the wall inside for a start. Changed the axle to take standard civilian tires. Then I build a frame to hold a roof top tent. Then to keep the interior accessible the gull-wing doors were cut in half to give them an extra...
Here are pics two different style heaters in two M43 trucks we bought to restore many years ago. Both are basically the same heater, just slightly different blower on the end.
First pics are of it in a truck we bought for parts. Still mounted in the rear of the truck as we got it.
Others pics...
