BTDT with the SBC conversion. 350 4 bolt main, mild cam, aftermarket intake and HEI. Best carb so far has been a Q-Jet, no surprise there. Some finagling is needed with the radiator hoses, but fairly simple. I bought a "towing" convertor and fine tuned the trans governor. Removed a lot of the...

I used a "cheapie" off a part out one ton and installed in front of the radiator. I would strongly suggest running to the cooler, then through the radiator cooler. These trucks don't run that hot and it's better to have a somewhat constant temperature going back to the trans.

While back i bought full set of procomp 9000 es shocks and steering stabilizer for less than $150 (online) Seem to work well, but i don't do much offroad travel

Yes, the 285's will fit. The rim is a little narrow, but i have not had any abnormal wear issues. I had to adjust the left side steering stop as the tire was hititng the steering gear, but that was the only issue. The CUCV stock rims are 6 1/2 wide...

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but.... The only difference between the 1028 and 1008 springs is the overload spring packs! I pulled a set of overloads and the perches from a one ton dually and installed on my 08. I've had the truck loaded over the top of the cab with wood, also had 1 3/4...

Would also suggest wrapping some duct tape around the ujoint so you don't lose a joint cap!

Looks like a whole lot of ho ha over a older vehicle that is NOT on the ten most stolen list and probably never was! Change the ign cyl and door locks and be done with it. Unless you're installing a high end stereo or other niceties i wouldn't go much further than that! (IMHO) Alarms and such...

Mounting bracket for M8 chemical alarm

1028 would be better as stated due to the posi front. With that said my 08 is a plow monster (well was when tires were new). I have a 800 ft driveway and of course have a hill on the far end. Last year had some issues plowing uphill during the last two wet snows we had, but other than that the...

Randy, I've got 285 75 16's on my 08 with no rubbing or unusual wear issues. Had to "adjust" the steering stop bolt slightly due to drag link contact, but no problems otherwise. I'm also ready for new shoes, and seriously contemplating the duratracs. Seem to have good reviews from what I've...

Resistor is located in the engine compartment, just inboard of the blower moter

Dstang: Yes, Hoppy makes the adapter. The 41105 is for the four plug flat. If i recall i chopped the four pin end off and wired it to the 7 pin (vehicle side). 4 wire + brake control, reverse, and aux/pwr brings you to 7. I've also soldered direct to the applicable wires, but the tap is a...

Dstang, Not sure if you're replying to my post, but if so.... It splices into the main harness, which has a connector in the left rear. Have used that particular set-up numerous times. I do agree with the 7 pin under the bumper as stated above Eric Eric

IMHO it would be easier to get the "t" tap kit and just install a seperate 7 pin! When i did mine i got a combo unit that has both the flat 4 and round seven.... Tap inserts between the factory connections near the left rear light! (Believe you need the 1983 truck adapter) Gives you a weather...

Lindy, I have a older fisher setup on my 08 and I'm local (10 min west of Kingston) if you want to take a look. Push plates were from a 1/2 or 3/4 ton checy, same vintage. Used plow rigs are out there, but now probably isn't the best time to score! Had to remove the front rings and brushgaurd...

I would also suggest installing a new plug (in addition to the mil plug). The "t" connectors make it simple.... pull apart connector by left taillight, install connector in-between harness ends, secure wires! I installed a plug that has both the seven pin and a four pin connector. Eric

Was just in the TM's for something on mine.... Go to resources and find the 34 series TM. Chapter 2 has trouble shooting, lo and behold, there's a section for trans, to include no downshifts! Eric

Why would you replace a downshift solenoid in the trans first? Trans was installed and it worked prior! So, seeing as how trans is in a different vehicle i would check for power in, and out of the downshift switch on the accelerator pedal FIRST (in conjunction with power wire to side of...

Sounds like the downshift wire didn't get connected to trans, or solenoid/switch by accelerator pedal is bad or mis-adjusted... Eric

I've used SEM dye in the past. Following link has info... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/43124-whats-maroon-colored-interior-3.html
