    What transfer case is this?

    If I'm not mistaken that is a later model NP241. The 241 came into use in 1988 and was used in Chevy and Dodge up until the early 2000's. The model years 1988 through 1992 had mechanical speedometer outputs, afterwards the output was electronic. So it appears you have a post-1992 unit. One...

    Tachometer hook up

    It is bad manners to hijack one's thread. If you would search this forum you would learn exactly where to obtain a replacement alternator. Just saying.....

    My (new) M1008...

    Hillbilly Wizard is your best bet if you are looking for a used original CUCV starter. If you go this route I recommend a complete rebuild prior to installation. Otherwise there are always plenty of brand new ones on Ebay. Many Ebay vendors will ship overseas. All it takes is money. Hope...

    Southern CUCV Restoration now MRCUCV

    Hello again David. I am still interested in having one of your M1009 restorations. My M1028 rebuild is taking all my spare time and effort, and my health issues will prevent me from tackling another project. You should still have my contact information. Let me know what you have coming out...

    Timing Gauge DRF 35169 for 6.2 Diesel

    Jake - I believe if your timing chain was stretched so much that it affected the timing position of the pump, your engine would probably not run at all. Not to mention that the chain would hardly stay on the gears. If your chain is wore out, probably your whole engine is too. In all my years...

    Balancing beads needed for bead locks?

    And just to add, in order for the beads to work properly, the inside of the tire (or tube) must be clean and dry. No grease or wetness whatsoever. The beads must be able to spin freely around the inner circumference of the tire in order to find the position of least resistance. If a HMMWV...

    Timing Gauge DRF 35169 for 6.2 Diesel

    Ditto what Barrman said. I’ve been trying to develop a good way to time the 6.2 for over 35 years and can now say there is no good way. Nothing beats a process of trial and error, that is to say, setting the mark on the pump slightly ahead of the mark on the engine. Then running it to see how it...

    Balancing beads needed for bead locks?

    In my opinion, the balancing beads are the only way to go to balance heavy tire/wheel assemblies. No they are not cheap, but neither is anything else you are doing to your rig. They great advantage of the DynaBeads is, they will adjust to changing requirements. For instance, if you hit a...

    Balancing beads needed for bead locks?

    Yeah I've had experience which I will share. I mounted brand new 11.00-20 NDT tires onto my custom 20" Firestone wheels. The combined weight of the tire and wheel assembly including tubes and flaps exceeds 150 pounds each. I then purchased a set of Centramatic dynamic balancers which mount...

    Nostalgic Air Brackets and Turbo

    First of all, Nostalgic purchases the brackets for the A/C compressor from a small mom & pop machine shop in Ft. Worth Texas. I explained all this in post #301 in my rebuild thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/post-2224882 . The other...

    Th400 going bad?

    You will be happy with the 700R4. Make sure you have the TV cable adjusted correctly. And make sure when you press the accelerator pedal to the floor, the IP throttle is actually all the way open. This is important in order for the 700R4 to downshift properly. Just because the pedal is...

    Th400 going bad?

    That would be Chris Gardner. He owns Bowtie and drives a M1008 daily. He knows his stuff. I will lean on him when the time comes for me to crank my rig.

    Th400 going bad?

    Hey LT - if a 700R4 is built correctly, it will stay together fine on a turbo diesel. For my P400 build, I opted for a Level II K-case 700R4 from Bowtie Overdrives in California rated for 450 HP and 450 FPT. After I get my Bullet Supercharger installed, my P400 is estimated to be rated around...

    Power steering pump bracket

    This is what I use. Works like a champ. Can't remember where I bought it. The thing hooks onto the side of the bracket and has a place for a square-drive pull handle or ratchet to attach. You should be able to search online and find one. Remember to tighten the power steering belt before...

    84 m1009 cucv chevy blazer build-up

    Out in front will certainly be the best place to mount the cooler. However, there are several companies including Derale https://derale.com/product-footer/fluid-coolers/transmission/heat-sink which offer frame-mounted heat sinks which will assist in taking away some of the fluid heat.

    84 m1009 cucv chevy blazer build-up

    Based on my experience, it sounds like you could use a little more fuel. Maybe start with a 1/8 turn on the screw and see what happens. Also, in my opinion, the pump timing should not exceed an advance of more than a mis-alignment of the timing marks of 1/16" (please excuse the Red-Neck way of...

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    That is the same tach that I plan to use in my new gauge panel. Because I am swapping the TH400 for a 700R4, I won't need the vacuum pump anymore, so I installed a HMMWV oil pump drive with tach sender on top. It seems pretty simple to hook up, 24v in and 24v to ground, with the 2-wire signal...

    Long lasting 40” tires?

    I’m getting ready to reinstall my 11.00/20 NDTs. I built my custom 20” wheels in 1985 before anybody even knew what a 20” wheel was. The truck wore out before the tires did. Sold that truck in 1995 and the tires had over a quarter million miles on them. I mounted a new set of 11.00/20’s on the...
