You could also eliminate the connection adapters completely get a set of resistors and put AC Delco 13 G glow plugs in it. I have used the stock set up thru hundreds of thousands of miles and have seldom been left down. Glow plug and starting issues never left me stranded at the side of the...

OK. I have fixed several of these in the past. Best way and may seem difficult but it is an opportunity to do many easy repairs and gasket replacement. Pull the engine. Put it on a stand and pay a good welder man to fix it properly. I paid about $200. the last time I had one fixed. I bought the...

Standard Motor Products TX47 Diesel Glow Plug Sensor (stockwiseauto.com) I hope this helps save you some coin. Good Luck. Glad I could help.

I will give you my 6 year report on the rebuilt box. It was still working and plowing snow until 2 weeks ago when the transmission went out. I think that CUCV will be heading to the scrap pile after this. Shame but that is the way things go in the cooperate world. New is nice and I need some new...

I know I have a few spent M1009 axles and I still have a brand new one in the crate. The 3:08 gears in the rear are the same as 3:08 civilian rears. I had an 85 pick up with a stick shift trans that had 3:08 gears and I used a military crate axle in it so I had the locker. I probably have the...

WOW I am glad this is rain and not snow. We would be snow bound again. I found a box of General Motors books I forgot I had. They are from my GM dealership days and I have the 6.2 GM manual and the 6.5 Liter V8 Turbo Diesel manual. They are GM STG manuals. Service Technology Group. Forgot I even...

I would say fuel filter. I have had that happen many times when I picked one up after buying it and ran it hard to get home. Easy fix. Good Luck.

As I was cleaning and sorting parts in my second floor barn area I came across 2 temperature fast idle switches. one is AC Delco/GM 10154649 and the other is the Standard Auto Parts TX 47 sensor. The AC Delco I see on line is over $100. and I see used ones listed for $60+. I looked up the...

Let me chime in on my experience with head gaskets on CUCV's. I have changed many. I changed them because they were bad and I changed them for something to do because I was bored. Truth be told I never pulled an original set of heads and found a perfect head and head gasket. I pulled them and...

Welcome from Jonestown Pennsylvania. And your thread is not worthless. Many here appreciate hearing from you. Take Care and Good Luck with your CUCV.

Today it reached 60* and we had massive snow melt. I still made it home by dark. I have made a promise to show something I found while doing some barn cleaning. I had the carpeting removed from my living room and dining room. I had hardwood floors put in. I wanted to save the carpeting since it...

Offer expired. A friend needs one and seen this. It was only an offer.

This is after Mondays 6" snow. The piles are higher than my truck. Today brought 60* weather and a massive melt is under way. The CUCV M1008 spreader truck has a broken main shaft in the transmission. It would go in gear but no power was transmitted thru the transfer case. I removed the...

Its a freebie. it really has no value to me. Give me an address.

It's OK Me no speak no well any how. I got the point. Terminal, thermal. The picture told the whole story.

That is your 12 volt power point. They are on every GM truck from that era. They are not a special part. Do you need one?

If you want to keep it stock and simple just replace the ballasts on the firewall. I read one time where it was an excellent design and after 35 years I still am convinced the system works. If its broke replace the broken parts and drive on. No need to redesign the system. It worked this long...

My guess is the lift pump. Thank you for remembering my painful lesson. I still see the incorrect lift pump listed at many places. Good Luck.

I made some huge snow piles with the loader and the lot pusher. I think we will have snow up till Memorial day. Cleaning up piles of snow with a 3 yard bucket is like trying to empty a box car of salt with a teaspoon. Mindless, monotonous work. But it pays well. And with a heated cab it is nice...

Its snowing again here in Pennsylvania. Oh Joy.
