Thank you both for your responses. I wasn't sure how glow plugs behave. Someone stated that "They either work or they don't". indicating that they work great all the time until they quit. Another person stated that "They start out good but progressively get worse and worse until they no...

I have never owned a diesel truck before and I have a few questions regarding the glow plugs that you folks might be able to answer. I am guessing that when the key is turned on and the WAIT light is active, the glow plugs are heating up, but do they ALL glow or is it possible that some work...

Hello JSutherland! I too want a plow for my M1008. I am following this thread to see what develops. I have no idea which plow model I need to locate or where I might find one, but I think it would be AWESOME to have a plow and perhaps earn some snow money to pay for my hobbies...

I absolutely LOVE that electric dolly. I have never seen such a unit. Oh Yeah, your generator is AWESOME. Congratulations

Thank you all for the advice. I can see there is a wide and varied range of opinions on this issue. I believe that I will get the fuel additive and try to locate a "Block Heater" and get that installed. Past that, I suppose it is keeping up with the maintenance...

What do you folks recommend to keep the engine of my 6.2 warm during the coming cold days? I was thinking about a heated dipstick which would keep the oil warm, but what about keeping the coolant warm as well? If both of areas were kept warm, I imagine my CUCV will start every time I turn the...

I checked ebay. This tool is over $120.00. I doubt i would use it enough to warrant it's purchase. Do you know where to get the tiny number tags for the wiring harness?

Yikes...! That tool is expensive. I think I will stick with solder... Thank you for the lead on the tool...

The wiring harness on my M101A2 trailer has some issues. I have the parts necessary (PS Magazine Issue 677, pages 9-13) to repair the connectors, but I don't have the crimping tool. Does anyone know the NSN for this tool or how to obtain one? Please advise

Does anyone have the NSN for a repair kit for the Inflate-A-Date?

While browsing this forum, I found a post that discussed the door locks and ignition switch. My CUCV had the factory locks and ignition, meaning of course that anyone with a CUCV key could snitch my truck. The post identified a source (GMCPauls Truck Parts) where you can obtain a replacement...

You were so on the money with the problem. My brother and I worked on my CUCV all day. I replaced the ignition switch and door locks (GMCPauls Truck Parts - under $50.00 w/ shipping), new light bulbs in the dash assembly, and yes, a new switch for the heater control. I bought the new switch...

Thank you for the reply as well as the repair. Did you get the pigtail from an autoparts store or from a scrapped vehicle?

The heater/blower motor on my M1008 works on occasion. I would like it to work when I need it. This is probably a typical Chevy/GMC problem and not specifically a CUCV issue. The switch feels "Good" (not sloppy or loose), the vent controls (off/defrost/heat) seem to have the right amount of...

Follow this link: www.quartertonparts.com. This is where I got the paint for my M1008.

Thank you for the response. I didn't consider the height factor. I do have an M101A2 that matches matches my CUCV and I really like that trailer. the price on the M1102 was really reasonable but I think I will pass on it.

NSN 2330-01-387-5426. I have an opportunity to purchase an M1102 Trailer that appears to be in very good shape, but I have no idea what the value might be. What do you think a value on this type of trailer might be? The other question I have is would this be a good trailer to tow with my...

Stabilizer Leg Update... For anyone following this thread, I have been working on the stabilizer leg for my M101A2 Trailer. I finally had to mount my stabilizer leg to my backhoe trailer. Once I had it mounted, I was able to use a pipe wrench to unscrew the leg from the housing. It took a...

I hadn't thought about folks driving off with the leg extended. I finally got mine taken apart late last night. The construction was not what I expected. I will try to clean it up tonight and post some pics. As for finding one on ebay, I did search it out and yes, I found one. It wasn't...

I would have never figured that out. I was trying to come up with some Hua Hua High Strength collection of usable words without success. It reminds me of the logistical F-Cubed rule.
