Well im gonna say i had a rough time at first,But i personally like the 24 volt system,with a gear reduction starter you cant go wrong but thats me.But i can say if he keeps the 24 volt he better do the Doghead relay conversion.If he goes 12v then not needed :]

:ditto:Dont buy it just cause its cheap lol.We all have those stories,we will gadly answer any questions ya have.;)

I didnt have a choice when i bought my gear reduction i was in a bad postion.When i bought my m1008 it wasnt in the best shape.The gear reduction is a great starter its been on my red m1008 for about 2 years with no problems.I bought another one to go on my army one if the original fails.I...

I have yet to meet any of you.But im sure i will eventually get to right.Im very thankful for all the help for all the random questions about my m1008s(my Chock Blocks) lol. Though im curious how is the Ip pump bolts attached to the water pump on a m1009?

I have bigger fish to fry but that GP wire moving is defintely next on the agenda when i get it back after doing maintance to the front axle :];)

I personally have had a few 81-87 Chevy silverados that i fixed.But after owning the Bare Boned M1008s i fell in love.I guess im just a simple guy,Really airconditioning cruise control are all good things but when it comes down to it anyone can own a silverado.But not everyone wants to wrench on...

Yes its a good thing sometimes :] Yes,That it is, I didnt have a choice i drive used trucks so 95%of the time parts from something i have tend to end up on the daily driver lol. Now something im just learning and i will admit i need help with is the axles on the m1008s but other than that...

No problem, I have had the displeasure or pleasure(depending on how you look at it lol) of taking a many 73-91 Chevy gmc standard cab crew cab and suburban and k5 blazers apart so i have learned alot.I know alot more could probably fill up a few pages lol.;)

Standard is probably a complete rubberstrip.Custom is a rubberstrip with a black insert.Chrome well exactly what it says. :] It really only comes down to what you want your truck to look like if you want it to look a silverado than buy the silverado trim. Personally the m1009 and m1008 look...

I think all the rubber was the same no matter what trim just a matter of a chrome strip around the front and rear windows 73-80 chevy gmc and 81-91 chevy gmc trucks(standard cab,crew cab, suburbans Fullsize blazers(K5).I have 2 military m1008s and 2 Civiy trucks both of which are just above the...

NO its not necessary to have. The 24 volt bus bar on the passenger side of your firewall is all you are concerned with :] You need to down load the tms they will tell ya alot Good luck :] The 24 volts is the way they came and its much easier to work on than most give credit.Its a reliable...

Glow plugs should be left just the way they are now.The only 24 volt items are the starter and slave cable outlet in the grille.I personally would leave the glow plugs with the push button set up. Just my 2 cents. :] That resistor bank has been known to cause alot of problems for these trucks...

The old stuff was questionable i agree.But i think it saved my m1008 from meade its almost rustfree the chassis had it been done i think i would have aperfect truck :]

Oh ok ,I did my own water pump and so far so good pita and time consuming but not hard.Though the advance brand water pump wasnt as thick on the passenger side so i had to use a longer bolt and a couple washers to get my Pass alt to line up.if no one beats me to it i will get you a measurement.:]

Good luck on the recovery,If ya come back thru down hwy 17 pm me if i can help ya i will and i wouldnt mind meetin ya and shakin your hand :]

Yes, But i just bought napa calipers and they have a $40 dollar core on them and i ran into the same problem so im gettin ready to do the same thing glad you found the problem though.:]

Well im gonna chime in on this :). Im not an expert but i have undercoated my share of MVs for the marine corps,air force,army and coastguard.I use to work for dyna corps int and we use to use that tar like stuff was nasty to clean up and always seem like wouldnt dry and it was a pita to blast...

Hey gun freak did you replace you water pump sir if so where did you purchase it from Napa,advance autozone ect.

Here ya go I think the longone goes towards the front short towards the firewall. :]

Found this pic yall enjoy Im with the other members buy a suburban they came with 6.2s and 700r4s. Swap a set of cucv 1 ton axles and you got a homemade crew cab.;)
