    M1008 acquisition and restore

    Just for the record i was suggesting getting the millage to match, but Doing that isnt super simple, but i can help...otherwise you can go the millage unknown route, though i wouldnt suggest it considering its possible and relatively inexpensive to get them to match on these trucks

    M1008 acquisition and restore

    Speedo is an easy fix, pull then gauge cluster and put a new speedo in...done several its not too bad, worst part is getting the dash off...if you want the millage to match thats a little tougher, im in the process of getting mine to match...if you decide you do want the millage to match shoot...

    CUCV Replacement Heater Cores - No or Low Heat Output Reason

    Anyone tried these Brass units from Pro Source, they look just like the stock, http://www.autozone.com/cooling-heating-and-climate-control/heater-core/pro-source-heater-core/459245_0_0_6774/ appears to be a relatively new product? As is I'm going to go with the Spectra Premium as I've got to...

    Tailgate window regulator question

    Anyone take any pics when doing the re-install...the bracket on the window itself is catching on the regulator, I put in new felt and bought new bumpers but I can't figure out where they go, and am not sure how to get it not to bind. If anyone has a chance to take a pic with the window rolled...

    Another hard start

    Well I know it's been a year, but I figured I'd update this, I got PCSed to Alabama, and as such ended up taking the Beast over to Above and Beyond Automotive over in Summerville, they figured out it was the external fuel pump, replaced it and cranked right up...of course then we figured out the...

    Another hard start

    I did, that's why I started thinking IP. I guess I'm concerned about moisture or other contaminates getting into theengine with the Intake manifold off.

    Another hard start

    Ok got the new IP at the house, but looking at everything, this truck sat while at Gov Liquidation for a while, it's been very hard to start, should I just bite the bullet and replace the Injectors while I've got it appart, if so I'll have to order them, which means leaving the manifold off for...

    CUCV 4X4 Shifter Idea's

    Can't seem to get my stock shifter off, anyone got any ideas? It just free spins, I'm about ready to cut it off, if anyones got a better idea I'd appreciate it, the old cover is broken, I've got a replacement, but can't put it on without getting the old knob off

    Another hard start

    Well the IP soloniod works, I've replaced all GPs and the GP card. I'll do the rest of the checking of the IP this afternoon, I think I'm going to be ordering an IP though

    Another hard start

    Also, when I cranked her the two days she was running it normally took 2 cycles of the GPs then she'd crank. After I drove her for a few miles I could turn off the engine, but she'd crank right up the rest of the day very quickly, if that helps at all. I've been reading all of the IP threads...

    Another hard start

    So the Beast ran great for 2 days, went to start her onthe 3rd and now she's not starting again...starter is still turning fine, I getlittle puffs of white smoke out of the drivers side exhaust just like before andshe won't crank...I'm thinking IP at this point, anyone got another theory...

    Another hard start

    GOT THE BEAST RUNNING!!!!! I'm pretty stoked, the new starter had a bad solenoid, replaced it and now we're up and running, I'm going to get my old starter rebuilt for a spare if I can find a place either in SC or GA who rebuilds them.

    Another hard start

    So I put the old starter back in, now I can't even getthat to do a slow turn, I just get a click at the starter relay, I'm thinkingI'll replace the relay in case it got damaged when the crappy new starterdidn't function properly.

    Another hard start

    I've done both the GP and doghead relay mod.

    Another hard start

    Man am I getting frustrated, ok so I did the spin on fuel filter conversion, still no start, starter sounds like it's very slow even though the batteries are brand new, talked to a buddy who used to work on them, he said sounds like the starter was going. So I got a new starter and replaced the...

    Another hard start

    Ok so changed out the old filter housing with a stanadyne fm100 filter in the process I realized the line from the vacuum pump at the rear of the engine was completely off, due to the lines being dry rotted. I replaced both lines to the IP as well as both fuel lines from the filter, also got 2...

    Stanadyne FM100 Spin-on Filter Install

    Why didn't you go with the 24v instead of the 12 v heater just out of curiosity, wouldn't that have been easier?

    Another hard start

    Roger, could that cause a no start...I'm getting little puffs of whitish smoke...so I figured I was getting fuel...maybe not enough but at least some...
