    New M1008. Many different issues.

    Its hard to believe that the starter just up and died just after you got it home. i would try one more thing. crawl under the truck and rap on the starter case with a hammer. try to start. do it again, see what happens. thanks. mark

    New M1008. Many different issues.

    You can reach it from under the truck, just move it a little. i dont think its the problem. just from watching your video i think your not getting power past the starter relay. you can remove it from under the dash. (silver square can) , hold it in your hand and turn the key to start. do you...

    New M1008. Many different issues.

    The only buzz i can think of is the seatbelt buzzer, most people unplug it. its at the top of the fuse panel. you may have blown a fuse, even though that wont keep it from starting or turning over. the glow plug light did come on for a brief moment in the video. i would pay more attention to...

    New M1008. Many different issues.

    When i sell a truck i always tell the buyer to call me if there is a problem or a question they have. can you not call the seller for a little help? he could probably get you going again or point you in the right direction. thanks. mark

    CUCV suburban?, or converted. PICS

    It was born an 88 3/4 ton suburban 4x4 with a 350 gas engine. thanks. mark The only engine with a turbo could be a 6.5 diesel from 92 up. when the turbo fails they smoke bad and lose power.

    CUCV suburban?, or converted. PICS

    If you could get the vin we could find out what it was born with. looks like the axels were swapped from a cucv truck. even 3/4 ton 4x4 suburbans came with 10 bolt front ends and most had semi float rear ends. i also noticed the radio antenna on the right fender. let us know. thanks

    charging problem?

    Your alternators are working, you must have a dirty connection at the back battery, on the other hand if it turns over to start good that may not be the problem. also check the ground at the back of the motor by the can fuel filter. it has a bolt with a stud to hold the negative cable , it has...
