I am looking at picking up a m1008. I have been lurking around this site for years on the Deuce board but am just now venturing over the CUCV side. I read through the FAQ and have been poking around the threads here. I cam across a thread that was chastising some one for blindly jumping in to a CUCV with out knowing about the mess they were getting in to. I would like to avoid that and educate myself on what I am in for.
I saw discussions on 12v vs 24v. I am ok with the 24v starting system and bypassing for the glow plugs.
I saw lots of folk talking about swollen glow plugs and what not.
I saw that the blackout lights can cause some issues with the electrical.
A few years ago I had a K20 with the 6.2L and am familiar with the civi version but am looking for a bit of info on the sort of mess I would be getting myself in to with an m1008. Or just some direction to posts that would be good reads. I did some searches but they yielded 20+ pages each and I never made it past the first few pages of each search.
Thanks in advanced!
