Welcome to our world. Like you, I have found every answer to any question. On my m1008 I go by the theory if its rubber replace it, if its electrical clean it. And do the doghead starter relay modification asap, its a $30.00 preventive maintenance that will save you hundreds.

How did it tow at highway speeds. I'm going up this weekend to tow back a M101a2 with my E250. I towed my M101a1 about 5 miles once but not at highway speeds. I did not have any problems registering the A2 as I had a SF97 for it. The A1 the DMV had to think a little harder but did register it.

I would consider changing the trans filter, as you will have the pan off any way.

Ditto, above posts. Real good info.

They probably have some rust issues. I had mine off last year and IIRC I used a piece of plywood to protect the cowling and a piece of steel shaped into a tuning fork design to SLOWLY pry them up. Add some antiseize when reinstalling.

I hear that www.ricklarsen is about the best for stencils.

On my M1008 I pulled the bed to paint underside and chassis. 8 bolts,1 ground wire, 1 electrical connection and 3 0r 4 screws around the fill pipe. Came off real easy about 1 hour or so.

Welcome from R.I. and Port Richey, I just got back from FL last night. I have a brother inlaw in Brooksville.

I did this as a preventive measure, probably a good 100 or so starts with no problems.All CUCV owners should do this before they have starter issues.

Now THAT is one clean looking engine and frame. It must be true about vehicles from Arizona are rust free.

I used a crows foot on a 3/8 extension and a ratchet handle.

Sounds like you need to do the"Doghead starter relay modification". Search in the CUCV forum.

I wish I could help, I am driving down to just north of Tampa next sat and returning back to RI a week later, It is just a little too big to put in my Ford 500's trunk, although I am taking down a 20lb danforth.

I think the electrical guru's are going to need to know what has changed since it ran well and now sparks. Did you change the alternators or changeout any electrical connections. Also check out the tm's for more info.

Sounds right to me, I believe you are hearing the glowplug relay turn on and the needle drops then it turns off and the needle rises.

Looks really nice, I had to repair a dent on each side of mine but they still show a little, yours looks better.

I have a board sander from HF, the first one lasted 1 hour the second one finished the job , about 3hours. I just picked up a 12 volt winch which I only had to return the first 3 and finally the fourth worked. I recommend the extended warranty 'cuz this stuff is really LOW quality. I would...

There are several electrical wizards on here (not me) that will be along shortly. In the mean time go to the resources tab on top of the page and find the tech manuals for the cucvs there is an abundance of info there.

And if you leave your headlights on, you only kill the front battery and can jump start from a 12volt source to just the front battery.

Mine has not had any electrical issues yet, but I anticipate some sooner or later. I have had the heads off , trans out, replaced flexplate and starter. Like they say its 25 years old.
