Thanks for the post and will do on that short hose--- the cooling system redo is one of my weekend projects; drain & flush w/Fleetguard Restore, all new hoses, new AC Delco thermostat, water temp gauge, and the nice green coolant...

Howdy neighbor! Welcome!

Thanks again Gprez, sure appreciate your taking time to post all this stuff. I prolly could have PM-ed you for more details but figured it might be of interest to others, as well as getting the input from other GV owners, so maybe guys who are curious like I was, can see what's up with the GV...

Looks great! First impressions also awesome! Kick that bad boy into some gears and rough it up--- ya' got a big-time warranty!:beer: (IMHO; better to know if it's a weak sister sooner than later) Question(s) What are your tire's circumference? Stock 235/85x16's are about 32" and I'm planning...

Glad to hear you found a quick solution, wishing you good luck going forward and hoping to hear about your first impressions. Also hope to get MY INSTALL going here asap--- but work has suddenly reared it's ugly head... can you believe I've had this brand new GV unit on my garage bench for over...

Thanks Kapnklug, this is a mod I am interested in simply because it will give M1008 longer legs for highway travel. Have a 14 bolt w/4:10 and Detroit Locker in my old Chevy C20, and looking to do this swap as time permits. My objective is to give both axles 4:10 gearing to match and an install...

Gotta' say that I am just now getting to work my 1008 re-do and been following your thread getting lots of great ideas from it, to describe it in a word; inspirational! Best wishes and best of luck in the New Year--- to all!

UPDATE: I last bumped this thread back in Sept 2012 and it's now Jan 2013; When I first got my 1008 I did my best PM to insure that the famous/infamous starter problems I've read all about would not come to haunt me--- but they eventually did. By PM's I meant checking, cleaning, tightening all...

Sharecropper; thanks for the ideas and info, I'm anxious to get 'gauged-up' a bit myself, but tend to agree with Doghead in that under dash is the simplest and that's what I need for now. Later on though, if advanced plans come to pass, I will post my results. Had the same idea with HUMVEE...

My dipstick & tube were missing when I got my 1008 and though I've found the replacement I can't seem to make it fit, like a bracket is missing or it's wrong maybe. Can somebody post a pic of exactly where the dipstick tube comes thru and attaches to??? Much appreciated.

Thanks for the info. On that slip yoke issue; is your truck suspension stock or lifted? Maybe there might be a problem there. My plans are not for rock crawling or super tough off road use either. Mostly trails and existing dirt roads, stock suspension, slightly taller tires. My idea in having...

Looking good man! And I'm really liking that lift your truck sitting is on--- sure wish I had access to one! Between my work and all the holiday activities--- STILL haven't gotten to my GV install---- but truck DID have a successful restart after months of sitting, and with fingers crossed, the...

YEAHHHHH!!!!! Woo-hoo! Awesome dude! WOW! Just got a new GV unit myself a couple weeks ago and been busy tying up a lot of loose ends (new starter, new flexplate, belts, hoses, fluid changes, total starting/charging system cleaning and inspection) and FINALLY I'm ready to do the GV install...

Wonders: I have recently been searching for another driveline for my M1008 and haven't had much luck, as yet. But this place and thread came up in my search and the question begs to be asked: with all this stuff in their yard why on earth are the brothers--- seemingly--- not interested in...

Lived in high desert here for over 3 years now and typically, like today, it's raining all over down the hill but here we barely get a sprinkle. And of that, it's already dried up, mostly. So I wouldn't fret too much about the call for Sat rain, unless its a real big weather event, it will...

Bad Karma--- so where do we get these zombie kits--- gotta' have one! How 'bout different colors?

We're out! No go! Rained-out today means work on Saturday... maybe next time. Meanwhile--- have fun all and play safe! Post some post-doomsday pics too!

Still looks like a GO for us, but need to wait 'til the Wed/Thurs just before to confirm. Probability so far is good... did I hear somebody mention 'cleanup?' Then we'll be sure to bring some cleaning supplies... will Saturday be the cleanup extravaganza?;-)

Looks good man and hard to tell from just the photos, but I gotta' ask--- and not being elitist or anything, is the unit's housing steel or some kind of ABS plastic?:?:

OK, right now I work too many days and too many hours per-week to even have a life--- but dang-it--- I live just a Tomahawk missile's throw away from this site and if you guys are cool with it, wife-n-me are hoping to drop-in for a meet and greet, and whatever else we might participate in on...
