now that you mention it I'm wondering about my vaccum too because it now dosnt shift into 3rd around 32-33 like it used to. now it waits untill 36-37mph or so and thats really annoying on 35mph roads. the shift into 2nd is still around 15mph though. Your explanation seems to make sense to...

Ok. I've done more research and a 4l80e is probably a better match for what I want. I just need to know what mods/adaptor kits I'll need to put it in the m1009 with 6.2l engine I have. I am figuring I'll need to get an adaptor for the transfer case and move the cross member back as well as...

I have a m1009 that gives me problems starting it hot or better put "warm" I have a gear reduction 12v starter (truck was converted to a 12v sytem) and when the truck has been sitting for a while after driving but not long enough for the glow plugs to come on it will take a while to turn the...

Last year I noticed knocking after cold starting in sub freezing temps. the lower the temp the longer it dose it for usually only for a minute or two and of course there is smoke comming out of the exhaust. I'm wondering if this is normal. the glowplugs are new and are all working properly it...

well I know it will be expensive but I'm not worried about that. I meant the 4l60 unless you can get a 4l80 that runs on vaccume or if its not a pain in the ass to put an electrical controlled transmition in a cucv. also how would the engine end up running with out the vaccume force from the...

I have wanted to put a 4l60 transmission in my m1009 for a while because I want it to have the overdrive for the freeway as well as be able to handle more torque than the th400 when I put the 6.5l turbo engine I want in it. My main concern is what do I have to do to get this transmission to fit...

I just got my M1009 painted with 383 green carc and it looks great. I do want to get some of the aerosol carc from hentzen products for touch up but I cant find any distributors. anyone have a source for this paint?

I changed my CDR valve becasue it was full of oil and draining oil into my intake. but I have been wondering what is the exact function of this part? its called a valve? But why? I thought it was just an oil trap.

I have an 86 m1009 w/ 96k on the odometer. I've had it since 87k and made the mistake of running diesel clean through it a few times to see if I could clean it out and get it to do 20mpg . its progressivly gone from getting 18.5mpg freeway to 15.3mpg. whats going on? I changed the mechanical...

what injectors do I need for an 86 m1009? is it corse or fine thread? long or short? any affordable source for +25 hp injectors? are they worth it?

I have a friend who whent to napa and got one (a 24v) for his truck and it tore up two fly wheels. I had to help him replace one and its a lot of work for one simple part. he got the genuine gm gear reduction one and has no problems with it. the one I was going to origionally get from napa had...

how many wires (I'm assuming starter cables here) are on the 24v one? this is my frist cucv and I have never seen the 24v starter.

I have a m1009 that has been converted to 12v and has a crappy chinese direct drive starter that is failing. I had it rebuilt and it still struggles to start the truck when its hot. I guess you can only polish a turd so much. I'm really looking for a quality gear reduction starter that is 100%...
