about 3 weeks ago i was driving down the intersate in my m1008. motor just quit. i thought i ran out of fuel. i know, the gas gauge broke a week earlier. got it towed home. added fuel and tried to start it with no luck. bled it out and still nothing. i squirted a little diesel down the intake...

first off, thank god for the internet and my fellow cucv enthusiasts! 1986 m1008 stopped running. had it towed. thought it was a fuel issue. when i pull the pink wire, turn the key to on, and touch the connector i get a spark, but no click. i checked this on my other 2 trucks and it definitely...

86 m1008. rear battery not charging. i had passenger alternator bench tested and came back good. reinstalled and still not showing a charge at the battery. i changed the lightbulb too and still no help. fuses look good too. am i missing a fusible link or something? will the alternator still...

86 m1008 with 18000 original miles. ran great. all of a sudden it seems to lose prime after sitting over night. pull the pink wire, crank, bleed, repeat. after it runs it will restart no problems. i put a new fuel pump on and same thing. going through the posts i saw something about a fuel...

so what is a good starting ratio for a m1009 with 90,000 miles? just filter the oil and drop it in? same with waste oil? what cooking oil burns best. most places use the creamy type of oil in fryers, not liquid. thanks for any advice.

just picked up a low mileage m1008. it was not shifting right when i got it. replaced all vacuum lines and the modulator and it still is not right. checked vacuum at the pump and needle bounces wildly from 0-15. put in a new pump and now pulls a strong 15-17 with no needle bounce. still does not...

i have looked all over the threads and cannot find an answer to this problem. truck wouldn't start and assumed it was dead batteries. went to the garage to get the charger and the truck started turning over.ran over and got the cable popped off to stop the starter and noticed the fusible link...

i need an injector pump to turn in as a core. anybody got one laying around? thanks...84 m1009

alright....1984 m1009. started right up and ran for about 3 minutes and conked out. will not restart. will fire with some diesel down the intake. hooked up an electric fuel pump directly the the injector line (bypassing the filter) and still no start. fuel pump seems to be pumping fine (only 6...

1984 m1009 with 160,000 miles. started right up (as always) and pulled it into the driveway. idled for about 2 minutes while i was disconnecting my snowplow and it just quit. tried to restart it and no luck. got it to fire 1 more time and it ran for about 3 seconds and quit again. it sounds like...

anybody know of a source for a rear taillight harness for my m1009? i would be willing to buy a used one also. mine is butchered pretty bad and i am sick of chasing breaks in the wires. post or pm me. thanks

84 m1009. parked outside on the street. high of 7 and low of minus 3 today and fired right up. the only thing i do is put a half a bottle of diesel 911 in it when i fill up. how low has anybody else gotten theirs to start?

finally got into the back of my truck and there were a few boxes of parts. i have no idea what this is. there is also a flat bracket as well. i will post pictures of that stuff later, but this was the most interesting. the parts were in sealed cardboard boxes and had shipping labels in with them...

any advice for installing a plow on a m1009? i have an 84 and i am installing a meyers. i just need to know if these trucks are picky on which battery to use or any other known problems. the only thing i noticed so far is that there are no holes drilled in the frame of the truck to mount the...

first off great site. i just purchased my first cucv (1984 blazer). i have a few quick questions. i drove the truck and it was fine, no problem starting. we went to restart it and just a click, no crank. the person starting it just held the key forward and the wiring by the starter caught fire...

i am looking at buying a m1009. it started and drove fine for about twenty minutes. we parked it and tried to get it to start again and the starter would only click. the light for the glowplugs would not come on but i assume its because it was still warm. the guy who was with the truck was...
