Well I searched the website and couldnt find any definite answers. I did not realize when I bought the vehicle that it was listed in a scrap Auction and according to their website GL will not issue a title on a vehicle that was in a Scrap auction. Which makes no sense to me because the entire...

Well after being hung up waiting on the starter and then running in to a few electrical problems. I finally got the starter turning on the truck. Last night I primed the fuel system and it fired off on the first turn! I still need a front right tire to be able to drive it down the road but I...

Wow definitely wouldn't have thought that that little bolt would have had anything to do with the electrical. Well atleast its working now! Those little things can be pretty frustrating. I had some electrical issues with my starter on my truck too. Drove me nuts!!!!

So what did you conclude was the problem?

I saw an M1009 that was extremely clean there. It was still in service and i talked to the guys that use them and it sounds like they are going to hold on to them for a while.

Yeah the truck wasn't on the DRMO lot it was further down the road at another lot where they store alot of vehicles and do maintenance. I paid a little more than i wanted to but the truck was very clean with no rust damage. So If I can get it running i think it will have been worth it.

So far what I have done to the truck is: Charged the batteries, Installed the doghead starter relay, Put some fuel with injection cleaner in, Replaced the fuel filter. When I tried to turn the truck over I could not hear the starter engage. So before I tore out the starter I tested the relay to...

Thanks! I havent been on this site long so i didnt know there was anybody around there. Luckily the guy that works the yard was alot of help!

Well I bought a CUCV M1008 from Fort Polk, LA the other day. I figured I would start a Thread to follow my progress. Be patient its gonna take a while for me to get it the way I want it since i will be working on it in the parking lot of my Apartment. Will post pictures of the truck before any...
