In my M1008, the fire dept. put new filter system in. Sold it off because they couldn't start it most of the time. When I received it, it was converted to 12v. But, it was still wired to resister before going to glow plugs. Easy fix, runs great for 8 years now.
Hard starting COCV's
No #. Only military used it. Not available from GM.
Sometimes you can see them leaking, or not. If CUCV is hard starting in warm weather, and/or you need the block heater in winter, change fuel pressure switch first (cheaper than replacing glow plugs).
If your CUCV is hard starting in 60+ degree weather (and lower) you need to replace the fuel sensor switch located in the Stanadyne 80 fuel filter base. It is round with two wires and held in place with a round spring clipunder the filter. They crack with age and you may or may not see it...
