I'll check this thread again before I leave here in a few minuets. And if you reply, and I don't have time to log back in on this public hotel computer, Thanks in Advance!!!

Hey Everyone, I'm Short on time here. I'm in AZ to pick up an M1008 with a TH400 Trans. It has been completely redone, and the trans and transfer case just totally rebuilt. I'm having a problem with hard shifts and they are delayed between shifts by 3-4 secs. | I know these trucks may shift...

Yep, thats a good test also.

Hi jrodjared, maybe some of other more "deuce knowledgeable" guys will jump in here, but a thermostat in most cases, is mostly to keep the engine coolant at a specific range of temps, which gives the occupant heat in the winter. However, it also keeps the engine at a level heated temperature...

Can't you just remove the thermostat, hook up your hoses and such back up, restart and see if it runs cool? If so, then you know it is the thermostat. If it still runs hot, then move to the next item. Although from the "symptoms" you stated, it most likely is a stuck a thermostat.

Thanks for the comment Patriot! Yeah I went through the same thought process when I was trying to bid on a truck in sparta. Costs a few more $$'s to ship, but it is safer on a truck that you're not sure about. Thankfully the two trucks that we're going to get are in great condition and should...

Thanks! Thanks! We've been looking for a while now, and I agree, this is one of the best trucks I have seen in nearly a year's time that I have been searching. Would have liked to have had the M1008 and the deuce back a few months ago, but it's been worth waiting to find the right one's...

Yep it was fleaBay: Chevrolet : Other Pickups Chevrolet : Other Pickups - eBay (item 260928294034 end time Jan-10-12 20:59:40 PST) We're bringing the deuce back at the same time, so we'll probably be going 50 mph anyway.

Thanks Guys for Everything!! It was what we needed to know to finish making up our minds and go ahead and try to get the truck we had been thinking about. We just bought a 68' deuce a few days ago, that is in New Mexico, which I have to go get next week. So since I was already going out that...

Yes Sir! I agree 1000%! :driver:

Yeah I did know about that. Might be a good idea to keep the parts on hand as a backup, just in case. But the glow plug controller isn't a big deal, like you said. That might be have been what they were talking about. Thanks Guys!

Hey Guys, Thanks Alot! That makes the CUCV move from being a "good truck" to being a Great Truck! Yes, i hate computers.... especially in vehicles. I had been trying to find info, and was coming up empty, and didn't know for sure either way. I had read a few posts while searching, which stated...

Hi, I'm new the M1008 trucks, know more about the Deuces..... Anyway, I'm looking at getting an 1986 M1008, and I wanted to ask about the Computers. Searched for a while now, and from what I have read, it does have an ECM for the engine. However, I'm not certain (if stock) that it has a...

I like your seat idea :lol: A 5 gallon bucket, duct tape, and some wire, and we can do about anything, right :lol: Anyway, yeah it would be great if the cab was just made bigger. But I'm not going to modify it to that extent. I did have a thought about cutting and dropping the floor board, but...

Humm... That is an idea, but only if it becomes a must. I'd rather not have to go that far. But thanks for the tip though, might be something I may have to do if I cant get enough room otherwise.

That seems like a easy enough plan, and I do have some army blankets laying around here too. I think I'll pack one in my luggage, and this may just be the ticket for a nice drive back home. I may make some other adjustments too, especially once I get the truck back here at home base. But this...

That sounds like a quick and easy solution to add at least a couple of inches! Hadn't thought about doing that. Thanks for the idea! [thumbzup]

You mean like the seat that is in your avatar? :lol::lol::lol: In all seriousness, I have thought about changing the seat at some point. But I'm taking the train out there, so I couldn't take a seat with me. Not sure about finding one once I get there. I'll keep this in mind though, just in...

Hey All, I'm going to pick up an A2 here in about a week from New Mexico. So I've got about a 1300 mile drive back. I'm 6'4 and about 280, and I was thinking if there was some quick and easy ways of making some leg room to operate the pedals? I have some ideas in mind once I get the truck back...

To be honest, in my opinion, Insurance companies are just another "legal" ponzi scheme. As if they can find some loop hole (or make one up) to get out of a claim, They Will! But... unfortunately you have to use them if you want to drive. That is what "goberment lobbyist" did. And if you ever...
