    Re-torquing head bolts?

    I have a M1008 that appears to be leaking coolant out the bottom center of the head (where the head attaches to the block, under the exhaust manifold). Initially I thought it was the freeze plugs so I replaced them, but now it looks as if the leak is coming from above the freeze plugs. I have...

    Glowplug afterglow duration.

    Hello everyone, I was wondering how long the afteglow cycle should be on a cold start. I have attached a video of a cold start, it was 2 degrees celsius (35 fahrenheit) and the truck had been sitting overnight. The truck has been converted to 12 volt and the plugs have been changed to Acdelco...

    Failed Injection Pump Governor Weight Retainer Ring

    I was wondering what draw backs are of continuing to run a pump that the retainer ring has disintegrated in? Originally the check valve on top of the pump got clogged, so I broke the glass ball out and put a small filter in so all the little specs wouldn't go into the fuel tank. Its been about...

    AC Delco 60G Identification?

    I purchased a set of 8 plugs the other day and all the boxes had 60G on them but the glow plugs themselves had Ac Delco and a bunch of numbers plus 10.5 volts stamped. Just wondering if all the 60Gs were like that or if I just got ripped off? The old plugs I pulled out clearly had 13g stamped.

    Who has the most Kilometres/ Miles on their CUCV?

    I was just curious who has the most mileage on their none rebuilt 6.2L CUCV? I personally have 272,000 Kilometres on my 1987 M1008, without any major engine work. The only thing that has been changed is the injection pump because it started leaking from the throttle shaft.

    Duel Fuel Filters.

    Would there be any down side to adding a spin on fuel filter along side the stock filter base? Thanks.

    Eliminating Starter Relay

    I have a 87 M1008 that has been converted to 12v, and recently I was getting an issue where when I went to turn the key it would just click and not turn over. Changed batteries, cables, starter, but still the same problem. Finally pulled the starter relay out and just jumped both the purple...

    Turn Signal Issue

    The turn signals on my 1987 m1008 are not working properly. I have no turn signal lights inside when I turn it to the left or the right, but if I look outside then occasionally it will blink. I have checked the 30 amp fuse and if I turn the four ways on all the lights are working, and the green...

    Windshield Washer Pump?

    How would I go about installing a universal inline washer pump? Can the existing line be used from the washer fluid bottle? I couldn't seem to find any instructions on installing a universal pump on the forum.

    Starter Clicking, not turning the engine over.

    I have a 1986 M1008, and the starter will click but not turn over the engine. Its the gear driven model and I have just replaced it. The gap is between .02 and .06 without any shims. Any suggestions? Very frustrating after spending $230 on a new starter...
