I don't believe mine is working right. The wait time is the same hot or cold and the GP relay cycles the same hot or cold. Are they repairable? Can someone explain how it works? Does it also control idle speed? Thanks

I took out the screws holding it on and the spring was on the wrong side of the sliding gear. The hubs were locked all the time no matter which way the selector was turned. Now I'm not sure the gear was on the right way either. Can anybody tell me which way it goes. Thanks

I have what looks to be an extra glow plug relay mounted over the fuel filter. I would leave well enough alone but my batterys aren't holding a charge and the wait light isn't staying on long enough when the truck is cold, it can be hard to start. Anyone seen this set up?

I've read alot about this subject, but I can't seem to stop the belt squeeling. I've put on new belts. Gotten them very tight, tight to the point of worrying about alt bearing failure. The squeeling will stop for a few starts, but comes right back and the belts are still very tight. I seem to be...

When parked on an incline with the nose up the truck starts runs maybe 10 seconds then dies. Then is very difficult to re-start. I don't seem to get this on the flat. Once it restarts it runs fine. While trying to re-start it I have checked the fuel filter bleeder and there is pressure there...

This question may be difficult without a picture, but I recently bought one of these trailers from GL and it had a rack with a crank mounted on the front of the bed. There were other M116a2 trailers in the same sale some had it some didn't. Can anyone tell me what this was used for? Did it hold...

I can't find in my searches where this is done. What has to be done to make this work? Would widened deuce wheels work? Lift the truck enough for suspension travel? Will it not turn? Are the axles not strong enough? This must have been asked before, I just can't find the answers. Thanks, Greg

I've been thinking I would like to get a shelter for my M1028, but I've seen so many styles of the S250G, I'm wondering if one make or style is better than another for the CUCV. Thanks

I'm not looking to tow or haul, but with the idea of a lift and 37" tires. It would probably need crossover steering added. I want to make this a better off road vehicle, but do you have to give up freeway traveling? If I go smaller than 36 or 37 to keep low range low enough, then what...

I've seen this done on jeeps but can't find anything on the CUCV. Maybe it can't be done. Does anyone know? Thanks

Are all 24V glow plugs the same for the CUCV? Can brands be mixed? The reason I ask is upon checking each plug for continuity I come up with different values for different brand plugs. If the plug is burned out my meter reads nothing, showing no electricity passing thru the plug. Some show 3.0...

Is this a mlitary part or something modified. I see them mentioned alot here and my starter broke one of its bolts off recently. Where is the best place to get them? Thanks, Greg

I'm going to have to put my M1008 up for sale soon and I want to describe it correctly. I believe it's a M1008a1 but is there a way to be certain? Were M1008 trucks built after a certain date a1's. Thanks, Greg

Hello All, My M35a2c has a Continental Multifuel. When I first got it about 4 years ago I found 2 pieces of what appeared to be cast steel in the 1st oil change. The larger one barely fit through the drain hole. Now in my last oil change there are more. Anyone else have this? or know where this...

My #2 alternator light came on while driving. It doesn't come on instantly at startup like it used to either and its dim. I removed the old alternator and had a spare from a parts truck but the spare doesn't have the capacitor or whatever that is on the back of the old alternator. Do I need it...

Ran my new Deuce about 4-5 hours yesterday and when I got home the optima batterys blew a cloud of sulfuric gas up into the cab. I heard this pop and hiss and saw this cloud. I was lucky I wasn't on the hiway when it happened cause you can't breath only gag and cough. What do you guys think? Bad...

I bought a M1008 with the fuel tank already removed because of a hole. I replaced the tank today and tried to start the engine for the 1st time. It runs only a few seconds then dies. I first thought that air was the problem, I bled the fuel filter and plenty of fuel flows out the drain while...

Some of you will think I'm crazy, but I'm planning to drive my new purchase the 700 miles home. I'll probably be alone on this trip, so the new deuce will be towing my M1009 back. There are some very remote stretches on this route but its much shorter than running up I-5.(I still may opt for...

Were any made this way or would it have gone through a rebuild and come out like this. There's one on GL now, but no picture. Says its a 1993 AM General.

Can't seem to find one here in Oregon . I bought a truck from GSA where they pulled the rusty tank. Thanks, Greg
