Does the engine run smooth if it has warmed up? Do you have access to a infrared temp gun? Measure the exhaust ports to see if you have a dead cylinder. Bent pushrod, bad injector, bad glowplug. I like the trucks when they run well.:whistle:

I bought 4 M1008's without EUC's from GL. Just look into the history of the CUCV before you sign on the dotted line.:driver: You could apply for the EUC like the original purchaser did or require the next purchaser from you to go through the process as well.

Dang, Another good thread! I'll post as I diagnosis a disassembled M1028 and an M1008.

I will be installing and trouble shooting the wiring in the cab to an M1008 and an M1028 so I will chime in when I find out info. I will observe what is happening on a couple of perfect running ones when I start them for clients to observe.

roflroflrofl I wish the M35A3 went faster, 45 MPH all the way out to the coast would take 2-3 weeks on the back-county roads. Maybe I gotta put a big slow moving vehicle sign on the hind-end of the truck with blinky lights.:driver: I thought about buying a 5 ton A2 tractor this week for the...

I appreciate you insight on these engines. I have been running Standyne Lubricity Formula with each tank of diesel fuel in my A3. It was suggested that 2 cycle oil, 2 quarts per tank (50 gallons of so) is better. I will also need to fuel up a CUCV. What do you recommend as additives for these...

I am collecting the pieces and book marking the sites for pieces for just such project. I have some parts trucks, axles, A3 wheels. I want to run a divorced 205 into the rockwells into A3 wheels and tires. I will run a 6bt, or a bigblock or a 6.2 with a short shaft Turbo 400. That's just the...

Cool! WHat a relief to hear you've made it Home! That was a long drive! Ya, we'll keep in touch. I wanna see the muskeg. Your woman deserves a round of applause for Her patience! She's as KEEPER!!:driver:

Avoid the whole issue and bid on an item that is non-EUC controlled and you may do as you wish with the item.

Hey Thanks for the kind words and right back at ya![thumbzup]

Sean, here's the address: 7493 Brereton Rd Dane, WI 53529 See you in the morning!

Hi, Sean I'm glad to see your on the road. Your trip, 806 miles through chicago, 915 miles around chicago, going through columbus, Indianaplis and around bloomngton Illinois. Chicago after 6-7 pm on the 80-294-290-90 route, bypass around downtown is fast. and the I-80, Penn. turnpike, is pretty...

Awesome! Nice road trip. See you when you get here.:driver:

hi Sean I looked at your listed route in google map (by clicking on the link) and it comes out to 1200 miles or so. There are some problems, they are: The map lists my address as the startiong point and delta as the destination. All of the directions are backward. To fix it put Delta Pa as...

We fabbed up this battery tray for the A3. The mil batteries went south and I got 2 31-4 900 CCA semi batteries brand spankin new for $177.ish. Batteries didn't fit well in the box so this tray fixed the truck right up. I might install the LED headlights one of these days as well...

Nice 5 ton, cool pictures!

I suspect the slop in the chain that the bungee cords are taking up along with the 2 loose links may have allowed this set of chains to fit on the tire. It is obvious that the installer of the chains in the picture is not familiar with chains and how they work. If I were to have installed the...

Now is the time to list the truck for sale and hold out for the high price. If you wait until you have to sell then it is likely you would take the lower "cash" price. Take each day one at a time and enjoy the truck each day.:D

If you go with this engine make sure you keep the valve lash clearances in spec. Out of spec clearances will rattle the valve train and break the rocker stands and replacement parts for this engine are not stocked or available. I made one engine out of two and reused the head gasket. It worked...

I have looked through previous threads on the topic. Aside from doing a search and looking through the TMs to determine exactly which charging system you have, try: Cleaning the plastic 2 pin connectors and terminals for each alternator, make sure the charging bulb indicators in the dash are...
