    Ford relay vs direct switch for manual glow plugs

    Like the charging system, I do not find the factory system complicated or troublesome at all. The system really starts to get screwed up when the volunteer fire guys start trying to re-invent the system. If the factory system is in place, it will be easy to troubleshoot in the future. By the...

    u joint for m1008 front axle??

    386451 was the part number provided by the original poster. I just checked the parts TM and that is the listed part number for all UOCs both first and second design. To explain further, UOC is use on code. It says what model truck it's used on. Here are the UOCs listed; 209, 194, 208, 210...

    Looking to buy an m725

    Sure it's possible. Do you have the equipment to lift the body and fab up all the mounts? If I were doing it for myself, I would move all the checy components to the factory jeep frame.

    New Member: I'm loving my 5 ton but Brake failure!

    Likely an M52A2. Is it building air pressure?

    New Member: I'm loving my 5 ton but Brake failure!

    It would be better if we started with exactly what you have there. In one post it's an M52 but in another post you indicate that it's a 1975. I realize that the brake systems are the same but any info you provide helps us. Diagnostics. Did it build air pressure? Do you have an air pressure...

    Trailer ID Help

    I would not play the lottery tonight. The M101A1 (or any 101) side racks only have 3 boards and they are very close. They also have swing open rear gates. Looking at the pic posted shows racks with 4 boards and a 1 pc gate. Another dead giveaway is the height of the rear crossmember. Even...

    14bolt Axle Swap into M1009

    For future reference, all 3/4 ton 14B full floaters from the 73-87 (91) era will bolt into the M1009 with the exception of bonus and crew cab rears. The bonus and crew cab rears share the perch spacing and and shock mounts with the 1 tons. FWIW, in this body, GM never made a crew or bonus cab...

    14bolt Axle Swap into M1009

    The 14 bolt from the burb will bolt right in. You won't need to do anything with perches or mounts but you will need new u-bolts and spring plates. The spread between the u-bolts is wider. The cool thing about the 14 bolt is the 2 pc carrier. You can bolt a Detroit NoSpin in there will little...

    HMMWV/Civ Trailer Wiring

    You can always put the LED composites on there. They work on both voltages. How are you adapting the 12 pin plug to the civy trailers? Many of the mil semi trailers have 2 complete lighting systems, one for 24V mil and 12V civy. You could duplicate this very easily and inexpensively as well.

    M1101 4 pin to 12 pin-no brake lights help, please

    Bingo! Knowing you were working with a 5 wire vehicle in the first post could have netted you with correct info there. There is a converter needed for 5 wire cars and trucks.

    Sweptline 1960-1971 W200 Military/Government Dodge W200's ?

    There was a super nice one at the GA Rally this past year. Cool truck. Edit; Ooops, don't think it's a sweptline!

    Trailer ID Help

    It is an M105. Weighs 2750# empty. If you plan on moving it with your Oh-9, either bring a hi-lift or eat your Wheaties. That tongue is heavy and even if it does have the factory tongue jack, it won't drop down to average hitch height.

    You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Coffee grounds is one of the dry rub ingredients.

    LED Reverse Lights and Dome Lights

    These LEDs draw such little power, its amazing what you can do with them. I have a 5 meter strip of them in a steel topper that was on my M1008. Since getting the SECM body I put the topper on an M101 trailer. I added a 12V 8ah batt and a 5 watt solar panel. The light often burn for hours but...

    M1028 A1 Contact Truck with M887 contact body and Wisconsin Generator

    I used PT plywood. 19/32 I think. It was right near 3/4". Works pretty good.

    I COB light onthe back of my contact truck. Work great as backups. There is a thread somewhere with pics. Good work on this.

    M1028 A1 Contact Truck with M887 contact body and Wisconsin Generator

    The keys are commonly available. I think mine are CH504 or something. It is nice to access one door at a time.
