Still working for me, even though I started loosing antifreeze out of the passenger side exhaust of the truck....think I popped a head gasket :(

Thanks a lot; seems like a great way to solve this problem and run down the road without worrying every time I turn it off! I am planning on running a plow for next winter, and the police dept I bought it from already modified some of the wiring, so it might be time to remove, replace and clean...

Thanks for the advice about the added equiptment; that was the first thing I dug into to check for issues -disconected everything and traced out the wires and did not find any issues; not to mention having the siren and lights working is a big no no in new york! lol! I think the best way to...

Having duvac issues with my truck and it is making me want to fire bomb it!

Looks like the best/ cheapest and easiest way to fix my m1010 woes. I am just wondering what the duvac system looks like now; there is the big blue box and the little one next to it, and I am not sure what wires I would have to remove to complete this modification. Any additional info or help...

I have been reading and trying to figure out my m1010's issues, which seem to be common, but I am lost and need some help. Problems: Front Battery not charging/ goes dead when sitting; rear is fine and getting approx 15 volts Top generator not putting out any power when tested at the...

Thanks: learning just how much of an animal it is!

Well, been working on my m1010, and reading the forums. The front battery is not charging, and the gen 1 and gen 2 lights have been completely removed (found that out after I pulled the dash apart) by the police department that owned the truck prior to me getting it. I am getting 15 volts on...

So, if you filter used motor oil well enough you can just mix it with your deisel and it wont damage your engine? I have a M1010 all stock, and have tons of used motor oil i can get for next to nothing, and am new to alternative fuels.

I used to carry a pressure tank with me with my old M1009, and just threw air into the tank any time she decided not to start! lol! It worked well enought most of the time.

Putting air into the tank does help: I took an old gas cap and mounted an air hose cuppler to it and put about 4 lbs of air in the fuel system and my truck fired right up after being run dry.

Looks like a nice kit. I wanted to put a 4" lift on my M1010 and was looking for input as to the best plce to shop for a kit/ the best on the market for overall "value". I am planning mild off roading, and am looking for reasonable "road manners".

Very nice rig! Most of the military eqiptment was removed from my truck when I got it -came from a local PD. I haven't tried my aux heater yet; I don't want to burn it to the ground -yet anyway! Share your results when you figure out your issue; I'll play with mine and let you know if I...

Any chance it might have fuel pump problems?

I recently picked up a stock M1010, and assume it has the stock axles under it. I am looking to improve my top speed for highway travel, and was wondering what wheel/ tire combos people are running that suit economy and improved top speed. I know the best way to do this is a newer overdrive...

Thanks for the welcome and the horn info.: I thought they might have cut the horn wire and will be tracing it down soon. The PD didn't remove any of the decals or other equiptment (they forgot!) so I can take my time and heat and peel the decals and replace the red lenses with amber ones. As...

Hello to all: new member, and just picked up my first M1010. I have been learning a lot from all of the posts, and am glad to have this site! I picked up my truck at a local auction; had been sitting since 2009. The police department recieved this truck from Ft. Mead in 1994 with 9457...
