Try cycling the glow plugs 2 to 3 times, pump the skinny pedal while cranking. Mine fired up in -14* weather and I have cracked heads and 2 possibly 3 bad GP's. Crack open your fuel filter to see if it has pressure.

I cycle the plugs 2 to 4 times depending on the temp. If it's single digits and below, I cycle the plugs 4 times. If it's 32* or warmer I cycle the plugs once maybe twice. Then hold the skinny turn the key and within 3 to 5 seconds of cranking she'll fire. Last week it was -13 and she fired...

Looks like I'll be getting a low mileage 6.2 (without the heads both were cracked) and a 6.5 that has some vibration issues at idle... Until then, I'll run the truck with the cap turned one click allowing the air to go to the overflow. lol. I'll use the other 6.2 as a parts donor and the 6.5...

Some things just don't make any sense.

There is a guy selling (2) 6.2's and (1) 6.5.... I don't know anything about the engines because I have to call the guy today. I like the 6.5 upgrades.... I replaced the Radiator cap, replaced the thermostat, I had to make a gasket because advanceauto said that it was discontinued... Things...

Alright guys/gals... I'm going to leave my build thread open to discussion dealing with the various issues and problems that I have and find with the truck instead of starting new threads all over the place. Truck had good heat in the cab, now, it's almost nothing... the hoses are barely warm...

As of right now, here are the things I'm slowly working on. #1 Push the brake and my passenger turn signal/running light illuminates (doesn't blink). I'm thinking it's probably something that the PO did or a ground/short? #2 Go to turn dash lights on (when cold) and they don't come on until...

Not too long ago I purchased an M1008 with 64K miles. My plans are to do a SOA, 4" suspension, High steer, SM420 or SM465, 203/205 doubler (triple stick), 37" tires, might go with beadlocks but I'm kinda partial to the deep dish "D" style rims painted Olive drab, Disk brake conversion with...

Comp won't allow me to send a PM, says I'm not logged in. Though If I click reply I can type this message on this thread............ I think my computer hates me. I still need the blackout switches. I'll try sending a PM again after I post this "post quick reply"... If you don't see a message...

Will do guys, thanks!

Thanks guys... I've always wanted a CUCV and it just happened to be that one came up for sale in my time of need. :naner: I've been reading the TM's trying to trouble shoot the various issues. Onto the electrical portion now. (charging) :???:

What's going on people? Another new guy here. A little background about myself, 14 year Navy vet (Machinist Repairman), got out to raise my three boys. Moved back to Up-State NY, purchased a rust free 85 M1008 with 64K miles for a winter truck and potentially to haul my race car... The truck as...

Old thread... same deal. Old thread I know... BUT, I can't seem to find Blackout switches anywhere. Anybody have any? Thanks in advance. R.Fife
