    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    You have me thinking again. I think the temp sensor is a normally an open circuit "when cold". When the water temperature rises after starting or when it has already been running, the sensor loop closes and that tells your glow plug card that the engine is warm and doesn't need the glow plug...

    Rick, is that the "medical type" you're growing there?

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    The water in fuel circuit would not draw that much power and should have no effect. You are still getting a huge electrical draw "most likely" from your glow plug system. In your video, that rattle noise and then the back to normal acts as if your glow plugs are still heating in till the system...

    8.5 foot antenna

    That is an AS-3900 antenna. They are very common but unfortunately some eBay sellers think they are worth their weight in gold

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    It looks like you are getting a heavy electrical draw on your charging system. The volt gage should move into the green shortly after starting and pulse back and forth as the glow plugs cycle. It's possibly a problem with the glow plug system. The engine temperature sensor may be bad and is...

    Picked up a M1008

    I would bet there is a critters nest in the heater squirrel cage. I had that happen to my 1009. Take the damper cover off the passenger's side air duct and reach up to the fan squirrel cage to check it.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Off topic but- I'm ashamed of those photos coming out of LA., and to have them sent all over the world like that. I guess that just sells more papers. It must make America look like a lawless, nasty, dirty, and lazy country to the rest of the world. No way do those photos represent the vast...

    Hard Start Issue

    You should check with local repair shops in your area to get rid of that fuel. We have several shops in our area that have a waste-oil furnace for heat and would love to have that fuel.

    Hard Start Issue

    That jar looks like water in the fuel. You said it ran good for 6+ hours driving it in the rain on an earlier trip and later you gave it a bath "under the hood". You added 911 to the tank. That will make your fuel look cloudy if water was present. When and where did you fuel up last? You could...

    Stickers

    That sticker will clean up nicely. With some WD-40 and elbow grease, that overspray will wipe right off. Try it on all the stickers, you'll be amazed. I even used it to clean the stitching groves and vinyl in the original seats. Works great with everything under the hood as well.

    M1008 Build

    Save them parts, they are getting much harder to find. And yes, with a little modification you can get a CB to work with what you have. The biggest issue is not many people use CBs like they did back in the 70s. You can talk all you want but no-one's listening.

    Looks like a M116A3 "the green one in the back" towards the bottom of the pile. That one should be lighter duty and have the surge brakes your looking for.

    To doghead relay mod or delete relay all together and other electrical issues

    Replace that relay and never crank the truck for so long as to kill the batteries. That's one of the reasons why the relays fail.

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    How are you going to fit that tire under your M1009?
