    What was in this hole?

    ^^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.

    OHH! And my "water in fuel" light never goes out, it is always on when the ignition is on. And my "gen 1" light never comes on.

    M1008 Starting/Running/Idling Problem!

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...

Its my first diesel but I'm learning! My goal is to...

    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...

    M1008 Starting/Running/Idling Problem!

    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...

    M1008 Ignition Problems (steering column)

    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...

    First ever CUCV

    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
