I think most everyone can agree that the diesel CUCV and similar vehicles are very unlikely to be damaged by an EMP. IF they are, I expect you would have much larger problems than just the truck not running.
However as already pointed out by ZRacer and others, The U.S. power grid most likely WILL be disabled.
And when the grid goes down, Gas stations will not have power to pump gas or diesel fuel....
I would not lose any sleep over the slim chance of your truck not running. But DO make plans to live for an extended period (Possibly YEARS) Without grid power. Plus, The potential problem with nuclear power plants going in to meltdown when their stand by generators run out of fuel.......
If you plan to store some fuel, Be sure to put something like PRI in it to make it last:
