Hi tim thanks for all you do. Great channel with great information on these old trucks. I have my first m1009 showing up in a few weeks. I was curious on how you felt about 12v conversion on these? My m1009 is completely stock besides manual pushbutton glowplug. Thanks

Two different items. A supercharger increases volumetric efficiency. A turbo charger aids and assist in cylinder scavaging and increases thermal efficiency.

I have a M1008 that I would like to make a dulley out of, do you have any knowledge of the building of the M 1028 A 2 or were I might find information about the truck, parts or instructions etc. ?

I want one of these bad.

Thanks for sharing Tim

I'm looking to buy an old WWII Deuce CCKW. But i loved learning about M35a2's from you just now

Two different problems. Get a copy of TM9-2320-289-20, and go to troubleshooting section and follow the logic tree. Going by guess and by golly is a waste of time.

Very helpful. We will be at the Budapest Hilton soon and your description was great. I’ve watch a lot of travel videos showing sights but you added a lot to my understanding. Sadly, your airport experiences are typical.

Great video. I just found a tech time 3300 S just looking into how I’m going to operate it I presume it’s a worthy machine.

Question? Can you say the length of the iron that the horse shoe looking thing bolt on to tow the vehicle? Mines don't have both at the front and I made them to the length of the back ones. The front bumper does have those holes therefore I will have to cut them out. Just need the length to Tim them to size.

Based off what you've explained, the alternators are not to be connected in series as shown on the wire diagram on steel soldiers

Nice!

It’s looking good Tim!

My 1987 6.2 Suburban won't crank. I suspect a bad starter since it clicks once but won't crank. But before I remove the starter, I'm curious about another issue. The glow plug dash light has been intermittent for a while. I installed a bypass switch to the relay but the manual switch doesn't even trigger the dash light anymore even though I can hear something switching on when I flip it. Bad bulb? Bad glow plug controller? Bad glow plugs? I'm feeling I should figure this out before jumping on a starter swap. Any ideas Tim?

Could you tag a link to the special wrench/tightener for the air compressor pulley? Awesome video!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks 👍

93 suburban with a 6.5 i can jump it and it will run but as soon as i turn it off shes dead in the water any ideas

Tim, I have learned a wealth of information on your videos concerning the 6.2 and 6-5 injector pumps. Thanks for the walk-thru(s). My M1009 is DED and I'm learning as I go. I'm no mechanic to say the least,,, I'm taking baby steps. Thanks again, Regards, Bert from 'Bama

Probably should've cleaned up that pump before taking the cover off. It only takes 1 micron of dirt to screw that pump up. Once dirt gets in the head the entire pump has to be disassembled to clean it out. Just saying.

WhenI was in the Army back in the 80's we often had to replace the engine front cover due to cracks. The new covers did not come with timing marks, so we had to use a special tool J33042 to put a timing mark on the cover. Then we had to check to verify correct timing with the Tach N Time J33300-A.

That slam made my heart skip a beat too 😂

I have had a few CUCVs, and the 12/24 volt charging system is usually the biggest issue with them. It’s probably the reason why I get them so cheap also 😂. The second issue is V-belts. The 100 amp alternator likes to eat them. I just recently started using green 1/2” belts, and with great success so far.

I have a M1028 that I won at auction. It’s taken a ton of work to get reliable, but it’s a fun rig. I put in Powerservice every other fill up, and make sure to push the motor hard every time I drive it. Runs like a top but leaks oil everwhere😂.

What part number and make of fuel pump by the tank did you use? Thank you!

Delco 30si is the most reliable alternator there is. It has large bearings, no brush or commutator and you can get one over 200A and a self-excited controller that doesn't need the plug at all

That’s a big toy. When I was younger I always wanted a 5 ton or deuce and a half.

Picked one up today and looking at it I think Vintage Air is the easiest option.

Thanks for sharing Tim

Got the same tires on my 22 cayman s.

I have 6 of the metal nato cans. Bought them for like $40 each online. One i ruined the lining by using it for washer fluid for my semi, easier to carry the one can than it was 5 1gal bottles, i now use it for waste oil between trips to the parts store to empty it. So ive got 25gal with my truck at all tes for long road trips or lawn equipment. One thing ive learned with them is to tilt it back before opening so you dont get the fuel spray from them when they swell in warm temps, would probably be the same solution for the can you only put 4.5 gal in, just tilt back when opening and attaching the spout

I have one older version red metal fuel can like your oldest model with the metal rod attached to the lid. I also have 2 of a somewhat newer version red metal fuel cans. I configured a short piece of chain with medium fish line swivel to attach to the lid so I can spin it off without loosing the top. My buddy gave me 3 plastic fuel totes with the dang updated "safety spouts" which most folks hate. The plastic canisters can be punctured with a sharp object or have the plastic molded seam split after time....now use for non-eth fuel. They came in handy for our recent DERECHO and hurricane Beryl. My area was without power for close to a week ( including local gas stations ) so I learned that keeping my cans and vehicle fueled up is a high priority if a storm is approaching. Thanks Tim. JK northwest Houston

I have a few of these cans just cuz i thought they were cool so i saved them from the trash, never thought of using them, maybe i ought to take another look. Are they sellable, collectable?

Cool video thanks for sharing

On my blazer the drivers side alt belt, furthest away from batteries (alt/gen 1) snapped off so I had to get a replacement. I’m just concerned on the purpose of it and how far I can drive without that belt on. I don’t have the proper setup/tools to do it at this time so I’m going to my mechanic

Did you gap the spark plugs?

What color green did you use for your suburban?

Thank you! I needed this video. No one talks about it.

Nice video, but could you write down or comment on exactly what belts you are running on the power steering and driver side alternator? Thanks!

This is why I converted my m1009 to a full 12v system. Change to a civi 12v starter, remove the glow plug resistor, remove one alternator and have the remaining alternator do all the charging.

Thanks for the information. We are going down the Danube. Amsterdam Airport. Thank goodness. 3 hours layover in Amsterdam to Budapest. Could be so they do not loose our luggage. Here is hoping. Excursions information was helpful.

Which direction do you turn it to turn the fueling up?

Holy moly, that thing starts easily!

Can you lift newer cars with this?

One word of caution to all prospective buyers, these trucks are far from new. Most are from the late 60's and early 70's. They've been rode hard and put up wet. Most of them haven't had any PM performed since 2005. They are condition code P which means uneconomically repairable and of no value except for material content. They will be rusty and may have inoperative components as well as cracked frames and crossmembers.

The ambulance model of the CUCV came equipped with GM factory air conditioning. So, their is a pattern for it. All the GM parts are listed in TM9-2320-289-20P. Probably be real expensive, more than that 40 year old truck is worth.

👍👍

Thank you for watching.

Working my way through all these kinds of things on my first deuce. Appreciate the effort on all the M35 stuff!

Good stuff ! Thanks for sharing
