Hi everyone,
My CUCV M1008 is have issues with the blinker system.
Issue: When left or right turn signal is engaged the dash blinker light comes on, stays steady and does not blink. The front and rear bulbs do come on but do not flash. I can use my fingers up and down to simulate the system...
Good evening everyone.
looking for an old post which someone had put together a crossover parts list for common items like belts, glow plugs and all that fun stuff. Anyone know the link or have a copy you can give me?
Thanks in advance.

After placement of our newly carved pumpkins on my front step I turned off the lights and enjoyed the orange glow. I went back inside and made a jack and coke and decided to look outside at the view when I was surprised to see my pumpkins looked better in the reflection of the window on the...
Well October has completely sucked for my fleet, blown tranny in the Duramax $6,000, oil leak on the rocker arm cover for the M1008 $50+3days of nonusable, shifting issue M1008, M35A2 axle seal, borrowing girlfiends car was the worst part lol.

Good morning everyone. Need someone to do me a favor.
Can you:
1) measure they entire length of your oil dipstick.
2) From tip to low line.
3) and tip to full line.
I had a few rebuilds going on at the same time, I am pretty sure I have the correct one but want to be positive.
Thank you.
Ok I did the search, came up with an old posting from 2004 but the replys were blank others were cucv.
I need to buy the plastic fuel line. I have taken it to autozone and others but all they have is rubber. Correct inner size but not outer.
I watched some videos and a guy had some yellow...
Hi guys, Just pulled the compressor from my duece. The plan is to replace all of the gaskets on the compressor and while at it clean, fix and paint anything in the general area of the compressors location.
Steps so far.
1) Pull out the TM
2) Place pan, 5 gal bucket and absorbant under the...
Sorry I never did this. I just jumped in head first. My name is Rob. Born and raised here in Monterey California. I love the CUCV but wish I had more room for more 2 1/2's lol. Restoring one M1008 and one M35A2 at the moment. Mods are all military "up to date".
I wasn't going to post on this...
I took out the old "3 toggle" light switch and installed the one in the picture. Before I did so I researched issues in doing so and found they wouldnt work due to a grounding issue. The one I got was equiped with a ground so I found a good location for the new ground wire and installed the...

As you can see when I break and at full stop my wait light flickers and stays on. The outside temp is only 55 degrees F. Truck is at operational temp. Exhaust smoke is normal (new rebuild, doesnt really smoke at all at temp). I do not...
The past couple of rides in the deuce have been worrisome.
When I first get her going for the day I always check the gears while parked. Clutch in, run the stick through and make sure it goes, sometimes I have to release the clutch a tiny bit for the gears to engage.
The issue is that it is...
From the outside she doesnt look half bad, open her hood and its that PMCS (PMS lol) time of month.
Just ordered the head gasket set from Memphis Equip.
Has anyone broken down the compressor before? I have a new one and am thinking about tearing it down and taking out the older than old...
Hey guys, I found a deuce to scrap some parts for the winch set up.
It has the bumper (no winch attached) which I will swap with mine. For the record I know they are the same bumper but mine has some tree damage lol and no extensions for the frame.
Then I thought to myself... "PTO" so in a...
Hey guys. Anyone have pictures they can share with me of the winch they have on their CUCV?
Bambi season is around the corner and I have a new 10,000 LBS winch I want to mount or build a mount for the hitch.
Yes, 10,000 is a bit much BUT hehe it was free, traded it for an extra 4 core...
Hello Everyone,
I am stumped, my M1008 has more issues that I care to admit too. Here is the break down.
1) Starting system:
For the second time the truck will not start, it acts as if i need to tap the starter with a little hammer love tap. With the ignition all of the way off and key...
