I found a post that indicates the part number of the solenoid as being 15591718 available at gmpartsdirect.com for $15.00. Looks like I will start there.
Okay Mike, I'll check it out. I have lots of TMs on the CUCV so I am sure one of them will have a wiring schematic. One other thing I did not mention was that the horn started blowing about the time I finally pulled the cables off of the batteries - that would surely indicate melted wires...
Thanks Mike! Would the relay be located inside the cab by chance? I did smell something electrical inside the cab after I managed to kill the power to the truck - smelled more like a semiconductor than insulation though.
When I started my 1986 M1008A1 CUCV yesterday evening, the starter continued to run after I returned the key to the run position and even when I returned the ignition switch to the lock position. I had to go under the hood and disconnect the battery terminals before the starter would stop...
You can obtain a C turbo from a guy who lives in Live Oak Florida and sells parts for the M35 on Ebay under the name of Green Gem Army Surplus Depot. He has everything for a deuce up there and is a great guy to deal with too. His name is Matt and the phone number is 386 364-4669. I know he...
Check out http://www.mvdataplates.com/ to see if the plate you want is available there. I believe I bought the one for my M35A2C from this guy but not sure. I also have a phone number: area code 480 893-2201 which I had programmed into my phone under the categorie of DATA PLATES and this may...
I have a 1968 M35A2C with a winch. It looks as though someone converted the truck from a non-turbo to a turbo - unfortunately a D turbo. Everything else looks to be factory stock. I have never folded the sides down yet but it is nice to know that this can be done. Some things are just easier...
Thanks Kenny! I look forward to meeting you sometime in the near future. I am anxious to get a 'C' turbo on my Deuce. The CUCV is a great truck and I know it will last me a lifetime as I have a spare 6.2 and lots of other parts that normally need changing once in a while. I am surprised that...
KENNY! Yes I would sure like one of those books! I did not see your post before putting the other one above this. I have no idea what is inside the book but it sure looks like something I would need to cross reference parts for my CUCV. I drive the M1008 daily and rarely run the Deuce -...
I have just about every manual that they made for the cucv but I am looking for one that GM printed up for the local dealerships which is the civilian version of the parts manual. There were several of these on Ebay but bidding was so aggressive that I decided to kick back and wait for others...
I may wind up doind the home built title but want to try as hard as possible to get the SF97 from GL that they never provided back when I obtained the trailer. I think the wheels are turning! The GL representative, Jean Payton seems to be actively and sincerely trying to assist me to get the...
RE: Rebuttal Letter to GL regarding EUC Registered Letter
Yes they are really surprising me here! I just sent the following message back a few minutes ago:
Thank you Jean! I look forward to a positive answer to my request for an SF97. There must be records of my transaction for the...
RE: Rebuttal Letter to GL regarding EUC Registered Letter
I was wrong! I just got another message from Jean at GL and here it is:
Since your file is so old, we may not have all your records. I will have to research to see what, if anything, can be done.

Rebuttal Letter to GL regarding EUC Registered Letter
Thanks for the compliment about the way my reply letter was written. I don't think I am asking for much seeing as how I am required to complete an End Use Certificate that was prompted by a registered letter from the same people who are...
Request for SF97 denied!
I wanted to share this with other members of the website because it is so typical of The System to avoid doing what is right versus going by the rules:
GL has received your request for a SF97, however, I am sorry to tell you
that - as stated in our Terms & Conditions...
Yesterday I received a registered letter from Govliquidation requesting that I fill out another End Use Certificate, otherwise referred to as an EUC, for an M105A2 trailer that I bought back in 2002! Apparently it had to do with a change that the government made in the classification of the...
Kenny!!! I am reading all of the posts in this area because I still have to fix my brake system that has similar if not identical problems. I'll probably start with cracking open the bleed valve on the air pack first to see if it releases the brakes then I'll go from there. By the way I did...
Installing a tilt wheel in an M1008
Hello from Central Florida! I wanted to install a tilt wheel in my M1008A and wanted to know if the wiring harness was the same as the stock harness in the M1008? The donor vehicle is a K5 Chevy Blazer that runs on gas and not diesel. I have five full-size...
