@cucvrus Sure, that makes sense. The military needed to keep vehicles running and used parts they had at hand. The carfax on my truck has the first listing at around 11k miles in 1997 (truck is a 86). There are an additional 21 listings through the next 2 decades. If the insurance company did...

Long story short, I was in an auto accident caused by another driver. The insurance company claims the odometer flipped because a couple digits are out of alignment. They make this claim despite a carfax report that shows the mileage for the last two decades. They want to send an "expert" to...

All, I was told today that when the odometer flips on a M1008 a spring breaks causing the digits to come out of alignment. Is this correct? Thanks Jon

I removed the air from the system per the manual and was able to start the truck up last night. I let it run for 30 minutes. This morning it started right up. The top plug on the fuel filter (which I used to bleed the air out) is seeping a bit of fuel. What is an appropriate thread sealer to...

"Air in the lines" may be a possibility. I assume the low pressure fuel system should remain pressurized even when the vehicle is not running. Is this correct? When I opened up the lines to the fuel filter I was expecting to see fuel but there was none. Is it possible that the fuel system is...

Greetings, My CUCV cranks but won't start. I've started my way down the diagnostics in the manual. Here is what I can say so far: 1) All the glow plugs appear to be fine. I check the resistance on each one and ensured the proper voltage. 2) I've disconnected the fuel input at the fuel filter...

FYI, the problem was me. This may help someone one day. The dash was spray painted making it impossible to determine the switch positions inside the vehicle. The operator's manual states you have to PULL OUT THE SWITCH first. That is partially true. The switch is a 3 position switch. The top...

And the wipers work fine (always have worked)

No luck yet.. - I verified all fuses through connectivity function on a multimeter. Everything is fine - I pulled the service lights switch and tested through connectivity function on a multimeter. Seems to operate fine. Ideas: - Wiring into the fuse box or the fuse box itself - Not sure...

Yes, I did move the switches back and forth. It could be a connection came loose or the switch itself could have failed. I did read the operators manual to rule out myself as the problem. Any other ideas?

Just bought a 1008. Lights were working but now they are all off (head lights, tail lights, directionals. The horn does not work either. The diagnostic lights during startup are visible. I've checked that the service light switch (middle switch) is in the up position (the decal is not visible)...
