Wow! I got it!
I scored an M1008 recently. Here is the story...
The golf course at Selfridge was selling off some surplus vehicles and golf carts recently and active duty personnel were given top priority for the sale. I was lucky enough to be the first person in line the morning of the sale. I was actually just looking to pick up a couple golf carts to mess with but there was a M1008 that I couldnt pass up.
I was told it sat for the last several years in the lot but it looked pretty good so I bought it. I didnt expect much. When I tried to start it the batts were good but the GPR or glow plugs didnt work so I hit it with starting fluid and to my surprise it started! ( I know its not wise to use starting fluid but I didnt really expect it to work) I drove it away!!!!
I have an M1009 and an M35A2C but I always wanted an M1008. It looks like I got myself a great project. BTW when I started it today I herd a clunk when the "WAIT" light went off and it started! Could I be that lucky?
There is a orange wire near the Glow Plug Relay thats not connected to anything and I'm not sure where it goes. Any ideas? Here are some pics...
