Battery Booster Resistor Needed

[Xs10tial]

Hi all, my resistors went in the M1008 and I'm having a hard time finding the parts online to buy. Does anyone know where to get them?

According to the manual, it's GM part #14076847, which translates to a NSN of
5905-01-193-7212


Thanks!

I would try the usual suspects....Memphis Equip, Saturn Surplus, White Owl, etc ...... or used.

I haven't looked for one but is you search "resistor" in the CUCV forum there are many threads.

For now you can make a jumper wire from the glow plug relay to the diamond shaped 12V terminal block above the master cylinder. That will let you use the truck until you can get a new resistor.

And it's not a battery booster resistor (even if the manual says that) it is the 24V-12V step down resistor for the glow plugs. If you bypass it, it will work just fine, but you might have trouble slave starting the truck from another military vehicle.

It's not a standard part for any civilian GM product. It is CUCV specific so you will need to find either a salvage CUCV, or one in stock at one of the military vehicle parts suppliers.

Later,

Since there's a 12v power source on the terminal block, I'm assuming the only reason for the resistor is for the Slave recepticle. As I don't EVER plan on using that, I'm just gonna bypass it. If I see any resistors at a show in the future, I'll restore it to stock, but AFAIC, it's just one more thing to go wrong, and it melts the GP's when it does, so it's outta here.

Joe - Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hey if you are hard set on getting one I have some in spare from other rigs that have been converted to 12V.

 

[Xs10tial]

I'd be interested at the right price. PM me, please.

Mine is bypassed...have not had the need for a jump yet

 

[HAWKMAN]

I have a half dozen of these units available if you decide you need one..PM me if interested.

 

[sheepdog1]

Would you still have any battery resistors available?!?

 

[HAWKMAN]

I should have a couple of these still available PM me for details........TX's

 

[sheepdog1]

Thank you sir! I'm working relay first and then going from there....

Why are you people calling them "booster" resistors?

Just switch your GPs to run straight off of 12V. No need for the resistor.
