I'm having an over charging problem on my M1008. The voltage meter will spike way up while I'm driving, then come down to normal for a few seconds, then back up. I was just going to let it go but it blew out my headlight now so I'm here for help. Out of all the threads I read the answer was to...

Rebuilding my Gen 1 using the "complete" kit from CUCV Electric. I'm also following step by step with their online instructions. I've reached this point to where they're telling me to install the bus bar onto the rectifier. But the rectifier hole is not threaded... (See Pics. First is from CUCV...

Video explains my problem.

My truck sat for a couple weeks without being started, I went to turn it on today, I gave it 10-15 seconds of glow plug and it started within 2 seconds of cranking. I let it idle for 15 minutes, revved it up a few times, it ran great. Then I turned the key off and IMMEDIATELY turned it back...

My starter keeps sticking and its pissing me off. Just put the new gear reduction starter in yesterday, had put in a new relay (CUCV Electric) before that. The starter work a few times without sticking, but then just started to. Now I cant reconnect the batteries because the starter engages...

Ok, first of I HAVE searched this forum and read up on this but I'm still confused. My starter on my M1008 went out while a diesel mech. was installing the new I.P. (he insists that he did not miss-treat the starter) I took it to a local shop to rebuild it because I know thats the best thing...

Hey guys, Im hoping to be getting my M1008 out of the shop this week. I will be going to Crystal Lake, IL on the 29th of this month to visit family. I would really enjoy taking the 1008 there. It would be my very first out of town trip with it. Im just wondering about the whole 50-55 top...

Well the dash in my 86 M1008 is beyond repair or covering up, so I'm just going to get a new one. I refuse to buy one from LMC, crazy expensive! So I did a little searching and found one on Summit Racing and one on Tuckers Classic auto. ------------- OER 14031903 - OER Authorized Reproduction...

While my M1008 is in the shop I'm going to get a Tiny Tach, ordering straight from their website. Which one do I need? DTL-6 or DTL-1/4? (see pic) And when I order, does it come with everything I need to hook it up or do I need to make a run to the store for some extra stuff? Thanks for the...

Hey guys, Im looking to get my first Deuce. And I just got some quick questions. I know that the C turbo is nick named "the whistler" which is great, I love that turbo sound! But I've read that the D turbo makes slightly more power, which I like even more!! So, which do you prefer more? C or...

Hey guys, I just wanted to bring up a quick thought. There are NOT enough video's around of M1008s/M1009s! I have very limited choices on YouTube! So please take videos of your CUCV doing whatever it does best and post 'em up! Here's my first and only one so far (didn't get her street worthy...

Hey guys, I got my first CUCV running the other day, its only got 32,940 miles. Before I started it I changed the fuel filter, changed the oil, added plenty of fresh diesel (the tank was empty when I got it) with a little diesel 911, checked and topped off coolant. After a little messing...

Hey guys, I just got my '86 M1008 back home from MN, and I realized that the ignition is locked up. I can tell its been messed with already because there are holes in the column from someone trying to unlock it. I'm going to end up replacing the whole column anyway but I just need it unlocked...

Hey guys, Im new here to SS and also a new owner of a 1986 M1008. It is my first ever military vehicle! I "mistakenly" won it at auction on GL. My main concern is that is says it doesn't run!! Its got NO body damage or rust to speak of. Only 32,940 miles and from the pics of the engine bay...
