Hey, I've rolled over the first 10,000 miles of putting an M1031 back to work in the civilian space. Lots of lessons learned and plenty of questions. Over the last year we fixed: burnt glow plug control board, glow plugs, three heater cores, death wobble from ****, bolts in front driveline, cab light, high beam switch, door keys, door seals, and a few I forgot. Oh yeah, the exploding fan belt, that was a colon cleaner.
Did the Tiny Tach and coming soon a new governor. What is the recommended hour run time for engine oil changes?
The toughest to solve were the heater core grounding and death wobble. As those issues are well known but not well articulated on posts.
Recently, she started dieing in the morning when I reach the first stop sign. After that no problem - maybe I've got the idle set to low? She idles at 550rpm. Fuel filter? Fan belts always squeal on first acceleration - again, maybe my idle is to low since the alternator don't excite till I hit the accelerator.
Key open issues are idle setting and how many hours between oil changes. Now that she has 38,000 miles on her - what else should I be expecting?
So far no leaks![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
