    So Power Switching...

    No doubt 24V was to be able to charge from the vehicle's alternator, or to jump the vehicle using the house batteries as a spare set, essentially. A good solar system makes that not needed, HOWEVER.........you have options Option 1 is to put a small solar panel dedicated for the starter...

    So Power Switching...

    You're adding more points of failure. More switches = more to go wrong. Also, you need isolate shore power and gen so you're not backfeeding the shore plug...unless you intend to do that... A simple 4 position (Inverter, generator, shore power, off) would make the most sense, IMO. Those...

    Synthetic oil

    There are a couple things that matter but don't matter at the same time. The best oils available in the 60's are utter #%(& compared to even the crappiest oils today. Modern enhancements in lubricity, additive packages, detergents, surfactants, etc. mean you're already giving it something...

    Hopefully this clears things up.

    So Power Switching...

    Your 120V generator and 120V shore power should be the same circuits. You'll have a switch that cuts from shore power to genset when either the gen or shore power is connected. Don't make things too complicated... Your 120V side should have a battery charger that charges the 12V side when...

    M1010 12 volt conversion

    No A/C either? Ehh... well... Follow https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/files/nn10.pdf as a start.. You'll obviously have to remove one of the alternators or at the very least remove the belt... The M1010 uses 2 -24V alternators, and not 2 -12V alternators like the other CUCVs, but you already...

    M1010 12 volt conversion

    Do you want to redo the entire system, or just the front battery? Quite a few things require that 24V on an M1010. Have you seen the Plan B thread?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    You should have seen the back glass. They backed it into a fence and shattered it.. AFTER they took pics for the auction....

    Question about Rebuilt(?) TH-400

    So, they stole your brand new pan? :mad:

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Nahhh... I had a full public safety LMR and Cell site on mine... :p

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    So.. after putting in the replacement engine, and putting the front clip back on.. and realizing how simple the wiring harness is..... I ran into an issue. So, the side markers on the corners (not the park/turn signals up front) run through the major/minor of the parking/turn circuit. The side...

    2021-22 Washington State HB 1439 - Authorizing military surplus vehicles to operate on public highways.

    Dead. Didn't even make it out of committee. WA has been tightening restrictions on military vehicles, even nullifying registrations in some cases. Because each office is independently run, some things can get through the cracks, but there is a memo telling them to NOT register ANY military...

    Too Late shift problem

    That Turbo 400 uses the vacuum pressure to determine shift points. The vacuum regulator is there for a reason. Also, if the vacuum pump is hooked up directly to the modulator, you should get super early shifts. The lines, if not replaced, are almost 40 years old at this point. Replace the...

    Using lock washers

    There are situations where I use both a star washer and split washer, but never just a split washer. Internal tooth star washers grab, and they're great when you don't have kep nuts and need to tighten something down with minimal access from the other side. The split washer will put tension on...

    Wasn't having any problems until......

    The plugs are self-limiting. They won't draw more than X amps.... The internal resistance is usually 1-2 Ohms with a nominal resistance of 1.6 Ohms, per TM 9-2320-387-24-1 Using Ohms law... and the rated voltage of the wellman plugs (which I believe is 22v, not 24v, but we'll run with 24v)...

    Using lock washers

    Are you talking internal/external tooth star washers, or split washers?

    I will have to tow 1031A - Anyone tried (what do you think) a tow dolly?

    Pull the driveshaft. It's easy.
