    Vacuum Lines and Fuel Filler Neck

    Slowly but surely getting my new m1008 on the road. Thanks to searches and great posts, looks like I need to replace my vacuum hoses and also may need to make an adjustment due to a hard shifting problem. Does anyone have the sizes for the vacuum lines? A search and TM review did not yield...

    86 M1008 CUCV Arrived today!

    My private party purchase of my first CUCV (M1008) arrived from Rhode Island this afternoon. It is an extremely straight, rust-free (2 minor rust issues), dent-free Air Force (???) truck which replaces my M35A2. The CUCV appears to have been maintained extremely well by it's first civy owner...

    I need an alternator.

    $115.00 for a 24v alternator, grab it then! When I had to replace or rebuild, I could not find a 24v for less than $200.00 at local parts shops, but 12v Delco's sell for much less. Plus the time to fab a bracket, just wasn't the way to go for me. But seeing lots on Ebay for under $100.00...

    Muffler madness

    Mine is the Walker Muffler, a $70.00 part which has lessened my 53 year old hearing loss in local traffic. Ear protection is still required for highway speeds.

    Some history on the use of filtered motor oil in the Deuce???

    I use a paper towel filter which filters into a 5 micron sock filter. I purchase several of them on Ebay. About 50%wmo, 25%diesel, 25% gas.

    Some history on the use of filtered motor oil in the Deuce???

    I have had very good success (so far) running a combination in of on-road diesel, filtered UMO and gas (87oct). I am even running it in the truck this winter, but have not driven it many miles. Only once did I have a problem starting him this NH winter. Has anyone had ill-effects from the...

    I need an alternator.

    Yes, get it rebuilt, as it is probably the regulator. Some auto parts stores provide this service or find a good auto-electrical shop in your area. Mine was a toasted alternator and was $180.00 for the rebuild job. If you can find a new old stock (NOS) alternator, plan on paying at least...

    M37 Driveability

    Had 2 M37's and much prefer the M35 (shortened) now! When I get out I drive Brutus everywhere! You will need highway gearing and a 5 speed transmission to do your once per month commute and while you are at it re-power it to a cummings diesel. So if you are going to do any kind of serious...

    New M35A2

    Nice Truck!!! My charging system was toast also, but a quick drive to the alternator shop and the installation of a new regulator solved the problem.

    Size difference betweem 1100 20 and 900 20 NDCC tires

    1100's are the way to go for sure, but I chose an NDT alternative.
