    M1009 is deadsville...what happened?

    OK...Update.... So after much testing with the Fluke and swapping some batteries around it would appear that the front battery gave up the ghost. In the vehicle the front battery would only show 10.5 volts while the rear would show 12.85. When you disconnect the front battery cables the voltage...

    M1009 is deadsville...what happened?

    Thanks for the suggestions...:) I had recently cleaned all that you mention so I'm thinking maybe the front battery went bye bye. I'll know quick when I get home to check later today. If the front battery completely fails will it give the indications I have? I would think that the rear battery...

    M1009 is deadsville...what happened?

    Hello all, I went out to start the M1009 this morning and when I got in and turned the key I saw a very very brief glow on one of the warning lights and that was it. I heard nothing and turning the key gives me nothing. No click...no nada. Everything is completely dead.... dash lights, driving...

    M1009 axle swap with H1 37's...Oh my what gear ratio to run...?

    Thanks...I'm aware of that....but....for what it's worth my understanding is that the NP208 from the M1009 will mate with the 4L80(spline count) but the 700R4 requires the appropriate NP208(which I have) with correct splines. Nonetheless I believe 1 Ton is referring to the 4L80. I don't want to...

    M1009 axle swap with H1 37's...Oh my what gear ratio to run...?

    I think 1 Ton is going to use a "4L80"...not a "4L60"...? Correct?

    M1009 axle swap with H1 37's...Oh my what gear ratio to run...?

    Really good points made...Thanks! As far as towing...I may tow something like a 101A at some point but as a rule I don't tow much. I do use the truck as a daily driver with moderate off-road adventures on the weekends and for getaways. What engine RPM are you guys getting at highway speeds with...

    M1009 axle swap with H1 37's...Oh my what gear ratio to run...?

    Hello All, So I've been reading and reading as many posts as I can on swaps to the H1 37's on here and I'm at a crossroads now. Actually my head hurts. I'll be swapping in a D60 and 14 bolt axle set into my M1009 in the near future and I'm trying to decide what gear ratio would be the best. I...

    TH 400 Replacement

    The TH400's used in the CUCV's have a heavy duty case. The case will have a HD cast into it on the upper right portion of the bell. If you look up there with a flashlight and mirror you can see it. These cases are much beefier than your normal TH400 case and have a thicker flange area than even...

    M1008 hubs

    For A Dana 60 with 35 spline....Yes. Dana 60 with 30 spline....no. PN 38826 Premium Hubs Stock outer splines are 30 spline unless someone upgraded to 35. You would generally use the 38826 Premium Hubs in a stock M1008 Dana 60. Yukon makes some awesome hub kits as well but they're pricey...

    14 Bolt Spring Perch measurement...

    Can someone please refresh my memory...I know the 3/4 ton 14 Bolt rear ends have a wider spacing on the spring perchs as opposed to the 1 ton. 1 Tons being 40 1/2" and the 3/4 tons being 42 1/2". Are they measured center to center? Thanks!

    Oh boy...Yet another 700R4 swap thread

    So I decided to get under the Civy K5 today and verify my trans specs. It's definitely a 1987 700R4. The code is 7TXM205B which equates to 1987 built on the 205th day of the year. M stands for 700R4. It has the "MD8" and a thin "K" cast on the bell housing so it looks like I have a good trans to...

    New Production 6.2L/700R4 TV Brackets (Interested?)

    Wow...great stuff...! As far as the hump....I would keep it just like the Civy version. A little more fabrication cost but "proper" non the less...:)

    Ya...I already checked the yards in my area for a while. Diesels are slim pickings.

    Oh boy...Yet another 700R4 swap thread

    Thank you for the info... I will be taking the M1009 off road extensively so I'm hoping my '87 700R4 is one of the "desirable" units. I don't mind spending a little to get it up to HD spec. OK...the TV Bracket search begins...I'll keep me fingers crossed. I know ODw/envy may be getting some...
