    M1009 Revival

    Hello from the the best Carolina :)

    Looks like you have great condition CUCV and looks to all original condition. Modifying such a truck for adventuring or personal use would be easy. But with such a good specimen I would try to stay as original as possible as these 1010's are getting hard to acquire in original configuration...

    1986 chevy cucv m1008

    Did you modify all the starters, and why? How was it modified, I do not see a reason to do that unless the wrong starter has been used. The diesel starter is different from the gasoline starter. Are you using the front starter bracket that goes from the starter to the engine block? Are you...

    M1008 - electric setup/glow plugs/loose cable

    .Max. Power., Get down by the starter and see if the purple wire is tight on the solenoid post. Also try and tug on the positive cable and check for being tight . Sounds like initially it has good current that is either arcing out at the solenoid connection or the copper washer in the solenoid...

    African Queen to go on Display at the National Museum of The US Air Force

    For all the Service use by different Countries and having been in continued outdoor commission the unit looks to be in extraordinary condition. And if not for Mark's curiosity the Half would still be at Sentry Duty in another part of the World. :goodjob::clinto::naner::driver::tank:

    Having a 5 ton wrecker is handy

    Thanks for donating your time. And the use of your equipment. I would guess that your truck really enjoys being able to streatch out and get some use. After all the fluids need to be moved around lest rust may start to begin.

    My first CUCV

    What numbers and information is painted under hood? I am never amazed at the level of destruction of the dash pad.

    My first CUCV

    Looks like the 24 volt system and glowplug system are intact. :) I have one tip for you and that is to blue locktight the air cleaner wing bolts. Those little devils like to come loose and disappear. Looks like there are new ones on there.

    Hello from Pennsylvania

    Welcome from Missouri! Great beginning with history search being sought out. And you have what looks to be a good hardtop. Look through the classifieds and see what is available. A few months ago tires were out there for the taking. Maybe some are still around close to you. Good Luck!

    My first CUCV

    Outstanding! Welcome aboard! I am hoping that the truck has all its original wiring intact. That will make it easier to diagnose and repair the problems. For your current problem go to the rear bumper and see what the trailer plug wires look like. Good Luck and look into the Helpful CUCV...

    M1008 - electric setup/glow plugs/loose cable

    Refering to Training Manuals is always a good self starting point. Then site searching is next but with the different language I am not sure how good that works. .MAX. as I said we can help but when the primary electrical has changed makes it harder to diagnose and fix but lets get a starting...

    M1008 - electric setup/glow plugs/loose cable

    So is the battery off line when the lights go out, no connection? Not enough power, as Marcus has said in post #8. That will be a starting point to remove any questionable connections that would create problems. Cleaning all grounds that can be removed, cleaned and replaced to make sure a good...
