If you need glow plugs to help start a warm engine, something else is wrong. My M1008 would start when it was 25 degrees with only two working glow plugs (it would take a littlle extra cranking, but not much). After warming for a few minutes, the truck would start instantly. Sounds like you...

I have the same issue. Did you ever figure it out? Thanks. H.

The differential has a tag that states 4.10. There was a rear bracket on the old starter, and I made it fit the new one. While under the truck, I noticed one of the freeze plugs has a three pronged male connection in it. When sitting for a day, the truck starts, then stalls a couple of times...

There is no RPO code sticker on the glove box door, it looks like there was one that got peeled of. Any way to find out other than by taking the differential cover off? H.

I just bought a 1988 Air Force Chevy 6.2 crew cab in the original Air Force blue. The paint is faded, and I can see where the Air Force letters and numbers were on the doors, which have been peeled off. I would like to have the same color and style letters made. Does anyone know of a good...

It's aliiiiiiiive! When I first tried to start the truck after bringing it home from Fort Indiantown Gap, it turned over a few times, then the batteries got weak, and it just clicked. I charged them up, both read 12.97 volts independently. Still only a click when key turned. I cleaned all...

Found under the seat of my new Air Force crew cab 1988 Chevy V30: Pack of fishing lures, roll of fishing line, can of chewing tobacco, unopened bottle of water, empty .223 brass. Up under the dash is a BIG long hawk feather. On the passenger side sun visor is a small calendar with a really cute...

Today I bought an ignition lock/switch assembly, removed the steering wheel, and replaced the old lock. It wasn't too bad of a job. I coughed up the $11 for the NAPA pressure ring tool, which made it easy to do. I found a video on Youtube that showed how to do it. All the lights work...

It isn't a CUCV, but this section of the forum seems like the closest fit. I just recovered my "new-to-me" truck from Fort Indiantown Gap, and man, what a place that is! I saw green (and tan) everywhere! Most every vehicle I saw there looked like new, other than a few lots with well used...

I will be going to Indiantown Gap PA to pick up what looks like an Air Force crew cab pickup. I may need to park it somewhere in a self storage facility that accepts vehicles, until I can come back with a stronger truck to haul it home. Can anyone recommend a self storage place near the site...

I won the bid on a 1988 Chevy crew cab pickup in Indiantown Gap PA. Anyone available to haul it from there to CT? Time and cost? PM me if able. Thanks.

Has anyone used the 3M panel bonding adhesive that is used to bond body panels onto cars?

I hate rust. Looks and sounds like you got a really good one. What base/ location did it come out of?

I like the 10,000 rounds idea best!

Well, I guess if I bought a Prius and put it in the bed of the truck, that would soften the ride. But then where would I put my dual .30 cal rig?

My M1008 has tie down loops in the bed, a large electrical cable going into the bed, and an aluminum table/rack in the bed. The rear springs look fairly new (Part number stickers on them). I think it may have had some type of equipment mounted in it? It rides high, and is stiff as can be on...

I have 6.5 diesels, and my 6.2. They are pretty similar in volume outside, it is IN the cab where the 6.2 is much louder. I think they are no louder than a Cummins or Ford on the outside. To us the CUCV seems loud because our point of observation is inside the truck. H.

My temp switch on the passenger side rear was dead from the day I got the truck (Actually missing a spade). The glow plug circuit always worked correctly and started the truck right up, even on the 3 degree mornings we had: I would turn the key on, the wait to start light would light up, the...

So my high (Cold) idle solenoid wasn't working. I found no power at the solenoid on the pump when engine was cold/ignition on. I went back to the temp switch on the passenger side rear of the engine. One blade on the switch was gone! The two-wire plug that plugs onto it was melted pretty bad...

Pulling my neighbors 4WD Isuzu Trooper out of a ditch (That the Kubota 4WD tractor couldn't). Starting easy at 3 degrees when the 6.5 wouldn't. Even though it is camo, other drivers actually notice it, and move away. Drowns out cell phones at traffic lights. Doesn't need to be fast to be...
