    Direcetional indicator

    Mine work now. I used a couple of the threads here to go through and replace all the bulbs, clean all the contacts, and paint the back of the gauge cluster to make it more visible at night. Almost half of my bulbs were blown, so I'd be willing to bet some of yours are too. I had several more...

    Deuce vs neon

    I can't think of many vehicles I would rather be in while getting hit by a drunk Neon. Glad that no one was hurt, this could have been a lot worse. As said before, she's lucky she didn't hit you head on.

    doghead starter relay modifcation

    You make a good point. I was indeed a little confused by reading this thread. :cookoo: I thought that the: Napa# 7-01860-1 (SME line) with the 5/16'' studs rated at 200Amps was correct due to the information below: I just want to make sure I get the correct part. So to clarify: I...

    doghead starter relay modifcation

    I have been putting this off for a while now. It's been tough for me to replace what's not yet broken in favor of a part off a lawn mower. In any event, it seems to be good PM with positive results. I hope to make it to Napa and pick up Napa# 7-01860-1 (SME line) with the 5/16'' studs rated...

    Engine oil question

    I always run Rotella 15W 40 in my M1008. Cucv Wiki - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite Oil Oil is 15W40 for diesel. (HD 30W works very well in hot ares) Rotella is available in gallon jugs, and quarts at just about any convenience store or truck stop. Engine capacity is 7 quarts...

    New to me M1028 have a couple of questions

    Make sure the hubs are engaged before selecting 4 wheel drive. Mine will not come on with the transfer case shifter engaged only. I had soft brakes due to low power steering fluid, providing low assist. Brake fluid replacement and bleeding also helped a lot.

    New (to me) M1008 CUCV

    Very nice indeed. Need a cover for the Slave connection, particularly if still hooked up. Wished I had a reciever hitch, still got some work to do there. Do you have under pics of your hitch?

    Do you have any pics of your set up? It sounds like you won't have the same issue again.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Replaced front cracked windshield, and upgraded to a sliding rear glass for the summer. Replaced a damaged rear bumper. Plugged the holes in the top of the cab from where it had a light bar in the Ga Forestry. Located the gun racks, need to install those.

    newbie from mi

    Good looking truck. I wouldn't mind getting a crew cab on mine and chopping the bed. Do you have any more pictures of your truck?

    Question about painting and lining the interior

    I agree. Mine's been a great truck so far, but I would prefer the original paint that is now covered in white. Thanks Georgia Forestry Service! :-D Being white does help it blend in. I find people looking a little closer and longer before they realize it's a 1008.

    "WAIT" Light

    My wait light along with most of the bulbs in my dash were blown. There were a couple of really good articles on how to remove, and replace dash bulbs.
