    convert M1010 electical to 12V details

    Please use some punctuation... that is impossible to understand completely. If you want to convert your truck to 12V only there are a couple options. Read through these instructions: http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/news_notes/nn10.pdf If you feel comfortable following those...

    convert M1010 electical to 12V details

    :roll: And how many people come in here with problems with the original system? No one would ever screw that up either? People have problems and come here (and other sites) for help all the time. Troubleshooting a 12V system is no more difficult than a 12/24V system. Troubleshooting a...

    convert M1010 electical to 12V details

    That's at least accurate. If you can't help them, there isn't much more that you can do, but there are others out there that still can. Since most of the truck remains unchanged it is just a matter of troubleshooting what they did.

    convert M1010 electical to 12V details

    However, if you do it properly it will be identical to a 12V civi diesel like my '83. That is what 90% of the wiring on the CUCV came from. The 24V system on the CUCV is nothing more than the civi setup with extra's added on to accommodate the 24V system. To convert it your mainly removing the...

    convert M1010 electical to 12V details

    One off like the 2 million other "civi" trucks out there? They all run 12V and are the basis of the 24V system on the CUCV's.
