Hi everyone,
I purchased a Peninsular glow plug timer, which will give me a set timed automatic glow plug control with a manual override should I need it.
Problem is, I got the box late Friday evening and there are no instructions inside. I have searched the web for a wiring diagram but no...
Likely easier but I just bought this alt at $525. It's WAY more heavy duty than any of the standard alts. This thing can put out almost 90 amps at idle and about 210 amps max. With my plans of a 4 battery system, this alt works way better for my needs.
I'll come up with a plan and looks...
Yeah, that is the original Sidewinder kit when they first released them. They since changed everything over to a front mount setup, I think to make more room for the A/C setup. Who knows?
This old style would likely work better so maybe I need to find this manifold which would move the turbo...
Let me add this pic, showing the bracket a little better. It still has the lower alterntor mounted, which I am not using anymore. I am only using the top spot.
On the Banks kit, the crossover pipe runs under the front of the engine and comes up in front of the block on the pass. side. and I...
This system has to run on 24 volts so no go for me. As it is, from what I researched, they take a lot of current draw so you really need to have the engine running while you use it. They also don't have a thermostat so you really can't leave it running all night and have it come on only when...
Humm... interesting idea. I think the first thing I would need to do is see if things can be converted to work on 12 volts, as I have ditched all the 24 volt systems.
SSSC- sounds like we do have similar ideas. LOL I'll have to see where this project takes me. Really would like to find a second engine I can use to mock everything up outside the vehicle, so I can keep it running. More pressing plans are for some sort of an overdrive setup. Can't decide...
Humm... I did a search in the CUCV forum and didn't find anything but you got me curious to search Google. Sure enough there are supercharged 6.5L diesels out there. Very cool idea but two problems. One, you have to run a serpentine belt system for the ones on the market and two... $$$$!!! I...
I guess this hasn't been done on a 1010. Here's a pic of the alt, it's huge compared to the 08/09 units. It's hard to see in this pic but the drive side has an A/C compressor which I am trying to keep for A/C in the cab (since I won't be using the unit in the box).
I am starting to look at...
I take it you haven't popped the hood on a 1010. They have a completely different alternator system then the 08/09's. Both are large J-180 case styles and are mounted on the pass. side of the engine. I converted over to a 12 volt system with a single J-180 mount alt in the top spot but I...
I know people have put them into M1008 and M1009 's but I have not seen anyone who has done this on a M1010 ambulance. Has anyone done this?
I picked up a complete, close to new Banks kit and know I will need to modify things to make it work but figured if someone else has done it, it might...
I actually bought the O'riellys one but haven't installed it yet. Looks to be the same as the NAPA one.
Even if doing a 12 volt conversion, the advantage of keeping the relay is that it takes the switching load of the starter solenoid off the ignition switch, which is known to be a weak point...
Got the ORD 2.5" shackle reversal brackets installed today. Definitely gave me the clearance for the 35" tires. Very happy with this setup and my H2 wheels and ProComp Xtreme A/T tires.
Too bad you're not closer to me. I have the 4 I pulled off my 1010 I would let you have for a good deal. This way you could shoot yours or mine while you keep the rig on the road.
Well, I basically gutted the rear box on my M1010 to get ready for my camper conversion. I am sure I will get a lot of flack for doing so but I did buy this to build a camper out of, not keep as a stock MV. I guess it's becoming my own DMZ. rofl
Yeah, those green ones look like Mastercraft or Beard seats. Tons of them in the offroad world. Typically not green in color but Mastercraft even has suspension seats (that is what style these are known as) that recline. The Baja RS seat.
