    How do you start your truck in cold weather

    I beleave the only thing on the truck that is 24volt is the starter and the rest goes threw that big black thing on the fire wall above the vacume pump to make the rest 12 volt. I think the hummer has 24 volt glow plugs but not the cucv trucks and blazers

    burnt out block heaters

    I must be lucky. I have never had one or used one, The truck just starts no mater what. Last week it was 16 here and it fired right up like always . The only thing I saw was that the glow plugs cycled 4 or 5 times after it started compaired to once or twice.

    Towing M105 behind Jeep Wrangler

    That is funny . What is more funny is that looks like a trailer that I sold 8 years ago and it was a hard to pull it with a 1984 1 ton chevy 2wd truck. Thanks for the laugh

    M1008 M1028 Differences

    The m1010 has hd in the vin And I do not see overload springs. Is it just a extra spring in the spring pack in the rear?

    m1010 wont start

    Was it starting and running before you took the box off? I have done the same to a 1010 and know there is a crap load of wires going to the box.Make sure you still have 24 volts going to the starter.

    Towing M105 behind Jeep Wrangler

    That is a great point of what happens when you do not have enough wieght on the front of a trailer or a trailer that is heavyer that the tow truck. I pull trailers every day and see totaled out trucks and trailers atleast once every 2 months if not more because of people that have a ball on...

I use to go offroad alot and one time mine did the same thing and it was one of the brushes was sticking and not making a...

    Quick and Easy Winch Mount

    Nice Job on both winch mounts. Here is how I did mine and I made a snatch block just in case I realy got stuck and needed the 24,000 pounds pull. And I have been so stuck in the past before I got a winch that 2 trucks could not pull me out.

    Got my first CUCV pickup! a few questions

    Are you running a stock torque converter or did you put a higher stall in it. I have been thinking about getting a higher stall torque converter for my 1008 so that it has more power off the line pulling heavy loads. I have a bone stock M1008 with 30,000 miles now that would not spin the rear...
