Update. Last night I poured the last 8oz of marvel mystery oil I had in the crankcase then fired it back up for about 8-10 seconds then shut it down. This morning I tinkered with the oil pressure sensor (mainly just looking at the wire connections figuring out what it would take to replace it. I...

Mine is staying on. The longest I have ran it yet at one time was about 30 seconds and I did blip the throttle a bit not a lot and the light still stays lit. Like I said im not sure it really isn't getting oil pressure or not. The valve train is a bit noisier than my other m1008 but this truck...

Ok as some of you may remember I posted about a truck (m1008.) I bought that had sat for 3 1/2 years without being cranked. In what little spare time I have I have replaced the battery's and some missing cable's and pumped out the fuel tank, replaced the fuel filter and glow plugs, poured a bit...

Looks like its coming along very nice

It seems to be a trend with USMC trucks according to the responses here

Actually its not my truck, its one online for sale and I always click on them to check them out even though im not in the market:D

Interesting, I have never seen one in a cucv before

What is this used for? I have never seen a m1008 with this behind the seat

very nice, tagging this to read more latter

Trans swaps and GV overdrives etc. seem like a really cool thing until the cost is factored in. I couldn't pay more for a new drivetrain setup than I paid for the whole truck even if it was a daily driver. I do believe as well its a diminishing return. Some may not buy a truck with a non...

Sorry to hear that, No reason you cant still check in from time to time and share what you have learned and know[thumbzup]

Where did the cucv brush guards originate from? Did the trucks ship from GM with them or were they added latter by the Army?

Very nice find. Its very refreshing knowing there are still good honest men around

I couldn't fathom having to get a diesel emissions tested. Do they require all gas engines over 25 years old to do it as well?

I recently picked up a 1028 that show's 4380 miles. I found an Army vehicle document binder stuck under the seat that had paperwork showing everything ever done to the truck up until they transferred it out of service. One of the things listed was a odometer replacement so the truck actually has...

In my quest of learning and getting my basket case M1008 running I realize before starting im actually missing the whole resistor bank from the firewall and the wire that would normally exit the resistor to what im assuming is the relay is actually hooked up the diamond. Why would this have been...

Hmm, not sure, previous owner was a collector and bought it from a auction after the state forrest service had it. He left it sitting in a field with a bunch of other military vehicles he collected for 3 years. It still had the big sqaure batteries in it and was missing the connecting cable for...

Thanks, for the link and tip. I didn't realize the small red wire goes to the negative of the crossover cable. It appears the rear pos cable will attach to the 3rd stud from the left on the bus block

When I purchased this truck it was missing 2 cables. The 1st is the cable from the front battery pos. post to the rear battery neg. post. The 2nd cable I figured out is missing is the cable from the rear battery pos post to the firewall bus block. I believe the red wire that runs from the...

My drivers door dent is severe enough that I fear the metal is stretched beyond just pulling out the dent. That tool will work for one it has on the bed side though
