Really for me it allows me to jump,or power up all but one of my trucks using the NATO slave and cables.The m1031 has my emergency gen set,which is PTO driven.So it has to be readily available to be jumped.Standardized is really my goal.
Ren, allow s me to use any of the military trucks to jump or be jumped universally.My IDI truck is falling into the utility realm here.Would be nice to add a NATO slave to the IDI to match the fleet so to speak.
My mistake. I thought that a m1031 was a humvee, not a CUCV. I know for a fact that those humvee starters are bigger and WAY heavier than a civilian model 6.2/6.5 with a 12v starter.The starter is same size as the 12 volt unit.
I figure that I've seen enough of those things during my time as a civilian contractor in Iraq to last me for the rest of my life!but I don't really like them.
Now that you mention it, I believe that you're right. I just haven't heard many 6.2/6.5s running at all, not mention starting, since my time in Iraq ended in 2005.In my experience the gm 6.2/6.5's, civilian 12/military 24v, have always cranked faster than any 6.9/7.3.
