Hello good folks, My 1984 CUCV pickup has the orange "low coolant" light coming on intermittently. It fades on and off and sometimes comes fully on. But then it will go off again, most of the time. The coolant is not low. Anybody know why? Or whether there is something serious I should be...

Hello All, We're talking about my 1984 M1008 CUCV here... I just put it under the barn for the winter and disconnected the batteries like I usually do. Most years when I connect the cables to the batteries in the Spring, I just slip them on and then push down hard while turning them. They...

Hi All, I'm new to the Forum here, but have had my 1984 CUCV M1008 for about 8 years. It has been a fantastic truck. Today it won't start. I'm in Canada and its cold. The 6.2 L diesel is often hard to start, but it always does. Today, I've had it plugged in for long enough that the whole...
