I fought the tire and the tire won. The under mount spare is impossible to work with. Won't bore you with details. If you've done it you know. I want to be able to carry a total of 3 spares. I will leave the one under the bed for a last resort tire. I am also considering the option of...

I want to mount a winch on the side of my M1008 bumper. I am looking for mount design plans. I saw this mount system on a TV show and I like the idea. I have a receiver hitch mounted front and back on my truck that I want to keep available so I don't want a center mounted winch. Has anyone...

I put a tilt steering column in my CUCV. The column has all the multi wiper speed settings. The original wipers are slow and the fluid doesn't flow in my CUCV so I would like to upgrade to more modern multi speed wipers. I am not a mechanic so can anyone tell me what I need to do to modernize...

I have back problems and the bench seat in my m1008 is not cutting it. Can I put civilian bucket seats and a center console in a m1008? Has anyone done that? What seats will fit? What console? Does anyone have detailed info on how to do this? A friend is going to do the work if I get the...

I have a chance to get a military surplus NEW Injection Pump Head & Rotor at a reasonable price. I had a shop tell me my problem is my injector pump is worn out. Can you replace just the Injection Pump Head & Rotor or do you need to replace/rebuild the entire injector pump? Is it a good idea...

I am having some work done on my CUCV and they said I have an Olds engine in my Chevy. Does that sound right to you? I got it directly from the military so I know it's all original. Any difference in the engines or were they blowing more smoke than my truck?

I need a fuel tank sending unit for my 1986 M1008. Does anyone have one they want to sell or can anyone give me a part number? Thanks for your help.

I changed out the military fuel filter in my M1008 for a spin on type. I has a Racor 490R30 spin on filter with water detector installed. With winter approaching I was thinking I might need to install a fuel line heater. Something that would heat the fuel when I flip the switch to heat the...

All the indicator lights work. Turn signals work. The only lights that do not work or the center lights for speedo and fuel. Checked/changed the bulbs. Checked the fuses. Checked/changed the headlight switch. When I turn on the headlights I do not have any dash lights. Any suggestions...

I looked at all the postings and I saw the routing listed two different ways. I would like to confirm the routing just to make sure I have it right. I will be using Gatorback belts so I will list their part numbers as part of the confirmation. Back belt #15461 Crank/water pump/ PS pump...

I know that some of the parts are drying up for the CUCVs. I guess the GP module is the big one and maybe the CDR. I was wondering if anyone has compiled a list of either alternate part numbers or even a list of special parts that we should get to keep these things on the road. I am not a...

It looks like I will need to replace my glow plug module. Does anyone have a source on these? I am still trouble shooting the no start issues (the wait light does not come on and no clicking). I know it could be something other than the module but worst case I may end up with a spare module...

I purchased a set of G70 glow plugs for my 86 M1008 and they have spade connectors. After I got them I noticed the glow plugs in the truck have bullet(?) connectors. I guess the military uses both types because the truck came off of the military base that way. From what my mechanic friend...

Probably everyone ELSE knows this but here goes anyway. I am having problems with my 1986 M1008 windshield washer pump and try as I might I could not find a replacement until now. I went to mctruck and found a washer pump repair kit on page 165. It is listed under the 1973-84 parts list...

I am thinking about changing out the bench seat in the M1008 for buckets with a center console. What are the issues and what will fit with a minimum of modification?

I purchased a Racor 490 fuel filter with water-in-fuel option. I am not a mechanic. Does anyone have a step-by-step for removing the issue fuel filter system and replacing it with the racor 490 spin on? What do I disconnect on the original system and what do I keep? It looks like one fuel...

I want to change out my original fuel lines on my CUCV. I want to use Viton lines. How hard is it? What is involved? Can I get ready made fuel lines? What all do I need to change? Ahy other suggestions are welcome. I figure they were made in 1986 and it is probably time to replace them...

I picked up these to use on my CUCV but decided against it. I contacted Rodgard and they said they are the same ones that are used by the military and on nonmilitary government and executive vehicles. Per the company they sell for $2000 a set when purchased new. I know I would never pay that...
