    M35A3 alternator NAPA cross reference

    Ya, your setup looks good. I meant to say the pictures of my setup were in my profile photo album. The one wire setup is easy to wire.

    M1008 Project!! Any advice?

    If you are good with and acetylene cutting torch and since you have an off-centered hole already, you could blow it out with the cutting torch. Clean the orfices of the torch tip so you have good sharp points on the inner blue points of the torch. Set the cutting torch for sharp short blue...

    M1008 Project!! Any advice?

    Ok here goes what I would do. Find the manuals from this site for the M1008 and find the wiring diagrams and down load the manuals with the diagrams in them and print the applicable manuals out, read in on the $hi^&!, Read it in bed, read it wherever until it makes sense and you know it well...

    got screwed on an m939.... crap

    Too bad your 2,000 miles away from me in Wisconsin. I'd take the truck off your hands. Hauling it would cause me to have too much into it. I am keeping an ear to the rail to see if there are any reasonable hauling possibilities. Tough luck on your troubles. I did see what I believe some...

    24 volt solargizers and 2 12 volt solar cells and regulators in series

    The question is: How will a 24 volt solargizer work across 2 12 volt batteries wired in series and 2 12 volt solar cells and regulators wired individually to the 2 batteries mentioned above? Will the pulse that the solargizer creates wipe out the charge regulators? Do I need diodes on the...

    Just bought an M1008 !

    You need to determine where you are with the truck. Does it have 2 batteries and 2 alternators? From the looks of the pictures, you are missing the glow plug controller card. It looks to me you moved the red NATO cable connector from one stud on the 24 volt bus to another stud on the bus. You...

    got screwed on an m939.... crap

    In my young and Naive years, while working at a trucking company, I noticed a leak of coolant and the engine being low on oil 300 miles from home. I intalled 5 gallons of oil and untold coolant to the 290 cummins on the trip home. The boss chewed me out for the cracked oil pan and cracked head...

    Want to buy T-55, any for sale in USA?

    Aww gee thanks for bringing this topic up. NOw I want one!! I live on a farm and would like to use it to run down trees in the woods. You think a tank would do that? It's either a tank or a D-7 or D-8. I think a tank would be more fun! Think a dozer blade could be attached to a tank with out...

    voltage in radiator coolant

    Perhaps the reason for the increased voltage is due to the increased ionization of the coolant with the temperature increase due to the operating temperature of the engine as you operate the vehicle. Properly charged batteries with maintained correct specific gravity of the electrolyte have...

    voltage in radiator coolant

    Perhaps the coolant is going acidic and the dissimilar metals of the coolant system are acting like a battery and creating a voltage. All the metal parts of the coolant system are directly connected to ground. Acidic solution (the coolant) and dissimilar metal will generate a current.

    Who's in Wisconsin?

    I have an M35A3 and an M931A2 and a bunch or CUCVs I would like to flip. The biggest hassle of owning MVs is parking them if you don't have a place to park them. Servicing them is a whole other path to follow. I have found knowledgeable people that are reasonable to pay. The Wisconsin titling...

    CUCV Gen 1 light

    To the CUCV owners that have wondered why their gen 1 light may glow at idle, I have learned that when I installed 2 brand new batteries,( 31-4 northerns) the volt gauge went right to the mark in the green and I had absolutely no glow on the gen 1 light or the gen 2 light. I suspect a...

    Poor halftrack

    I have lived that hoarders life style and live it with my family. I now have gone through a catharsis. I now am actively selling everything and will let it go if I can at least break even on the object. Lucky for me most of the stuff has value and is in somewhat of a demand. I just love selling...
