Thanks Ian for the info. Given everything and our needs, I think the 12 volt conversion is the way to go in the long run. Cry now and not later. Sure don't want to be in the middle of nowhere and have the equalizer die and strand us. As I remove stuff, I'll let you know and we can work...

I will very likely have a LOT of parts off of this. Most everything in the box, including the rear doors is likely getting removed/replaced. The big challenge would be cost of shipping... unless you came out to sunny SoCal to pick them up. 8) On your Edit2, I am not quite sure I understand...

Not really concerned with the A/C in the box since we don't do desert camping in the summer. I am actually thinking I will use the factory compressor and use something like Vintage Air to put A/C in the cab, where we might need it more (most of our camping is fall thru spring). I am looking at...

Thanks for confirming what I thought I should be getting at the actual alt terminal. 10-11 volts is definitely not right for a 28 volt alt (per the regulator marking). Nice looking rig!!! What size lift and tires are on that beast? I have been looking at engine/trans swaps too but for now...

Yeah, I think it might have been one of your posts that mentioned the fuse for the gauges, hence why I checked all of the fuses. I specifically pulled that one and doubled checked it with a meter and used a test light on all the others. I had even thought the Gen lights might be the problem if...

Okay, more testing and to answer markg questions. I checked all the fuses yesterday and I get power thru all of them (used a test light and checked both sides of the fuse). Rear battery alone = 14.8 volts, both batteries = 27.4 volts. I did pull the regulator and found it was on the medium...

Anyone??? Getting ready to start at it again and really need to know what the upper alternator output should be at the output post. I think I might have a bad alternator but no one open on Sunday can test a 28 volt one.

Hi guys, Okay, so I have been reading SS for the last month (well before I got my M1010) and know there are a number of issues with the DUVAC system and charging on 1010's in general. There seems to be a number of different solutions on removing this troublesome system. Also a lot of...

Awesome! Thanks a bunch for finding that info. I am still learning on how to use the TM's, not having any military background so it can be hard to find the info for a newbie. :confused:

Hi all, I have been doing searches to find out this info but everything I find about alternator sizes relates to M1008/1009's and M1010 are completely different beasts. From my research online and looking at pictures, it "seems" that M1010 alts are what is known as a J180 mount/size but I...

Okay, got all the lines replaced and managed to fit a line on the broken nipple on the vacuum pump. I get a nice steady 8" vacuum on the output side of the vacuum valve on the IP so I figure the pump is still fine. Still did not get the correct shifting as I should. Checked the vacuum at the...

Thanks a bunch guys!!! Warthog, your link gives me what I need. Glad to know the larger line with the Tee in it is not a major missing part and just a testing tap. Need to get a new vacuum pump and some lines. [thumbzup]

Actually I just noticed that the "old site" is back online so I was able to download the TM's. What I cannot seem to find is anything regarding the vaccum lines, routing and such. I found how to replace the vaccum pump but nothing about the line and what goes to where. maynard83, do you...

Hi guys, I had thought I saved the TM before the old site went down but I guess I did not. I just got a new to me, M1010 and am going over the systems to figure out what is wrong or right. After taking off the air cleaner I found none of the vaccum lines connected, which is why the...

Looking good. BTW, the vent window numbers you posted are the same numbers for LH and RH. I assume this is not correct? Do you have correct numbers? Keep up the great build!

Thanks for the info guys. I actually purchased one and am awaiting it to ship out to CA. :-P

Being where the crack is at, you will likely be looking for a new transmission. Most welding shops, to even weld that, will require complete disassembly of the transmission anyways so you would be better off finding a replacment. Bummer. Sounds like it was picked up with a forklift, since...

Awesome, just the info I was looking for! Thanks for the info! :smile:

Hi everyone, Since I am seriously considering a M1010 and the heater for the box is a major plus, I am curious how it works? I read it's a diesel heater. To run this, do you have to have the main engine running or will this run stand alone via batteries? For those who have the working...

You know the Interstate battery distributor for San Diego county is just off Miramar road. 9345 Cabot Drive San Diego, CA 92126-4310 858- 271-5003 I have bought drirectly from them for years.
