    M1008 multiple spare tire mount ideas needed

    I fought the tire and the tire won. The under mount spare is impossible to work with. Won't bore you with details. If you've done it you know. I want to be able to carry a total of 3 spares. I will leave the one under the bed for a last resort tire. I am also considering the option of...

    Olds engine in CUCV?

    I am having some work done on my CUCV and they said I have an Olds engine in my Chevy. Does that sound right to you? I got it directly from the military so I know it's all original. Any difference in the engines or were they blowing more smoke than my truck?

    Spare parts for the CUCV?

    I know that some of the parts are drying up for the CUCVs. I guess the GP module is the big one and maybe the CDR. I was wondering if anyone has compiled a list of either alternate part numbers or even a list of special parts that we should get to keep these things on the road. I am not a...

    Where to find a glow plug module.

    It looks like I will need to replace my glow plug module. Does anyone have a source on these? I am still trouble shooting the no start issues (the wait light does not come on and no clicking). I know it could be something other than the module but worst case I may end up with a spare module...

    Glow plug connectors?

    I purchased a set of G70 glow plugs for my 86 M1008 and they have spade connectors. After I got them I noticed the glow plugs in the truck have bullet(?) connectors. I guess the military uses both types because the truck came off of the military base that way. From what my mechanic friend...

    Any interest in Rodgard 16" run flats?

    I picked up these to use on my CUCV but decided against it. I contacted Rodgard and they said they are the same ones that are used by the military and on nonmilitary government and executive vehicles. Per the company they sell for $2000 a set when purchased new. I know I would never pay that...
