I had the same problem not to long ago,
Changed the transmission filter, transmission modulator on the side of the transmission, changed the rubber vacuum line at the modulator and also the vacuum lines at the vacuum pump on the engine but to no avail.

RE: Check this travesty
By watching the History Channel and the Military Channel, the Goverment has contracts with individuals to hold old military items so that the goverment can use for future use.
Most items that are held only certain parts be can be scrapped for the iron but the hull cant...
I recently saw a show on either the discovery channel, history channel or the military channel on people taking WWII tanks and rebuilding them.
At the ending credits it listed everyone whom contributed to help in the project that they were working on.
This could be helpful for you.
Also, I have...
I had the same problem. Try doing the trouble shooting from TM 9-2320-289-34 pg 2-46 to pg 2-50. Also look at the wiring diagram on pg E-23. The TM is located within the resource tab.
I changed out my wiper motor but still had the same problem, would not go to the park position when switched...
If you tried the above and still have the problem then try changing the fuel filter.
I had the same problem, replaced the modulator, transmission filter, vacuum hoses and ect and still had the problem.
When I replaced my fuel filter the problem went away. I must have had a clogged fuel filter...
I have added a few websites for those looking for parts for the CUCV.
The web link to lmc truck is wrong. I added a (s) after truck and I have tried to fix it but am unable to.
I am always looking for new sites to find parts esp... those hard to find parts.
If I find a good site I will add it in...
Asking what parts should I have on hands as in gaskets and ect...
Will the sending units still work as in oil and temp sending units or are these things I should replace also.
I am just hoping that if I do win this auction that I can take some parts off of my M1008 engine and swap them into the engine I won.
If anyone has info on what parts would need to be swapped and what other parts I may need to get in advance like gaskets and ect... would be great.
Looking at...
Got my CUCV (M1008) 6.2L engine so I was planning on some external parts swaping.
Just feel that the ex did something with the fuel tank and thats why I have so many problems that I do now.
Get a engine for $200, parts and labor, $600 total I hope!
Thats all I want, a clean easy swap but one...
Thanks papercu,
I didnt think it was about the alternators but had to be more then that.
When I got my M1008 it only had one alternator but I dont see anything to indicate a comm rack was ever attached inside the bed.
I do have the 24v hook-up for comm but nothing to show it was a comm vehicle...
Was told and I even did a WEB SEACH on the differance between a M1008 and a M1008A1 vehicle.
Even did a search here but found no answer here.
What I found on the web search was 1 thing, the M1008 only had one alternator when the M1008A2 has two.
I dont beleive this to be correct because I am...
Thanks Recovry4x4, I did see some differances in the engines from the pictures.
Can you give me anymore heads up on installing a Hummer 6.2 into a M1008!
Looking more into what parts I should have on hand if and when I do a engine swap.
Just looking for a good running engine to put in and...

RE: Re: RE: odd steering noise
Sorry Magnus but I dont always go to the CUCV forum. I usually stay on the opening page to see what new topics are being discussed.
I do that so I can learn more about the other MVs when topics are posted or learn more about general discussion topics.
Magnus, was...
