^^CORRECT. I have a civil blazer, its for the wires for the rear dome light that you have to disconnect before removing the cap. Unneeded for the CUCV, but still there because its the same cap as the civilian blazer.
Well there are no leaks anywhere on this truck. Its the first vehicle Ive ever owned that doesn't! But I'll definitely check out all the things you listed. When shes running Ill post a video!
I couldn't figure out why it runs great at higher RPMs but stalls at idle.
Things replaced under my ownership: Oil change with Fram filter, topped off coolant, Pass. side alternator belt, Fram fuel filter, Fresh diesel with a little Diesel 911 added, Interstate batteries.
Its hard to start at...
Well I actually have a 1008, but I always wanted a 1009. My first vehicle was a civi 1988 K5 Blazer with the 350 and 33" Mud Terrains, that's when I fell in love with them! :driver:
But anyways, my M1008 is having some sort of fuel problems. Its my first diesel but I'm learning! My goal is to...

**** good looking M1009 you got there! I noticed you're in Grafton, not to far from me. You ever take that to car shows? I'd love to see it
Hey guys, I just wanted to bring up a quick thought. There are NOT enough video's around of M1008s/M1009s! I have very limited choices on YouTube! So please take videos of your CUCV doing whatever it does best and post 'em up!
Here's my first and only one so far (didn't get her street worthy...
Hey guys, I got my first CUCV running the other day, its only got 32,940 miles.
Before I started it I changed the fuel filter, changed the oil, added plenty of fresh diesel (the tank was empty when I got it) with a little diesel 911, checked and topped off coolant.
After a little messing...
Hey guys, I just got my '86 M1008 back home from MN, and I realized that the ignition is locked up. I can tell its been messed with already because there are holes in the column from someone trying to unlock it.
I'm going to end up replacing the whole column anyway but I just need it unlocked...
Hey, nice to see a Wisconsin owner!
I was originally looking for one in Sparta because that was the closest, but my M1008 is in Little Falls, MN.
Im hoping this will be a learning experience and deffenitly not my only MV! As you can see by my avatar, I have a civilian '88 blazer, I got it right...
Yeah, see I'm only 18 and I have a part time job. So I was bidding on this and I really wanted a new truck, it went past what I knew I should spend but I just couldn't control myself! I guess Id never make it gambling in Vegas haha
Hey guys, Im new here to SS and also a new owner of a 1986 M1008. It is my first ever military vehicle! I "mistakenly" won it at auction on GL.
My main concern is that is says it doesn't run!! Its got NO body damage or rust to speak of. Only 32,940 miles and from the pics of the engine bay...
