    M1008 Project!! Any advice?

    How did you make out with your broken starter issue?

    Which injectors for a turboed 6.2

    I would probably consult a Stanadyne certified shop because your IP and injectors should realistically be a matched set.

    shimming axle to help pinion angle

    I think you will he unhappy moving the front axle back to the stock location. I would clearance the front CV or buy a high angle CV from High Angle Drive line.

    shimming axle to help pinion angle

    To a point... When you remove positive caster, it creates instability which any smaller disruption on the steer axle while driving could cause a severe death wobble. Positive caster actually lifts the front of the vehicle when the tires turn left or right. Removing caster will cause not as much...

    M1008, Th400 Transmission swap

    I'm not of you technical skills but a TH400 is not exactly a hard trans to rebuild. A novice with a few special tools (micrometer, dial indicator, and dial torque wrench) along with a good manual can rebuild one all day long. It's the guys that simply pull it apart and replace the soft parts...

    Possible water temp probe location?

    I will confirm that installing an aftermarket mechanical water temp gauge in the OEM temp warning switch (driver side, front of cylinder head) is a bolt in job and requires only the supplied bushing with most gauges.

    M1008, Th400 Transmission swap

    Better off, you know what you have. If you pull it yourself, won't cost that much to rebuild as long as there is no internal damage to hard parts.

    M1008, Th400 Transmission swap

    Not sure about the output shaft being compatible with an NP208 (should be) but you won't have park unless you are going to intall the necessary components.

    My winch install

    This is what I did, used a 24v MileMarker and connected it to the truck via the slave cable receptacle. So I can interchange front to back and if I ever buy a trailer, I can weld on a receiver to pull vehicles up and simply plug the winch into the rear NATO port...

    Repairing or Rebuliding Rear Spring

    Pull out broken spring (as long as it isn't the main) and remove the same one on other side of truck. Probably will never notice the differnce. In it for u-bolts, center pins, and time.

    what does the orange wire from the trans connect to?

    The kickdown does that, force a downshift at around 3/4 throttle. The vacuum is a signal that goes down to the trans via a hose. It attaches to the modulator which creates modulator pressure in the trans. The governor spins off the trans output shaft and creates governor pressure when vehicle...

    M1009 Alternators

    You should be able to get any 27si rebuilt as an isolated ground using the correct rebuild kit. They are really nothing special, just need to make sure you order the correct parts which are available pretty much anywhere you can buy Delco rebuilt kits. The only issue is the quality...good luck...

    M1009 Alternators

    Is yours missing? For that kind of money, I would buy a rebuild kit and do it yourself. Could probably have it done for about $30-40 in parts.

    M1009 rear axle lawsuit

    This is a well known issue with c-clip axles period. Doesn't matter if they are still being used in millions of production vehicles. I personally get a great laugh when I see Jeeps with logs ratchet strapped to the rear tire holding it on being dragged down the trail. It is a flawed design that...

    How to obtain title for m1009 cucv

    Every place I have ever lived never required a title on something that old. I registered mine in ME with just a bill of sale. I had the govt paperwork but playing dumb typically gets you furthest at the DMV. Now if they request a title or say the VIN has never been titled or registered, then...

    M1008 Project!! Any advice?

    Hey dude I'm about an hour away in Wilmington. Unfortunately I'm heading out the door first thing tomorrow morning for a weekend wedding, then a trade show in Baltimore till next weekend. If you need assistance with anything, give me a shout. I'll PM my cell number if you want it. I've started...

    Clogging fuel filter

    Absolutely...if you filled the tank before storing :) Condensation can corrode if the tank is not full. Also remember that any water separates out and sinks to the bottom. Water on the bottom can be pulled into the system and cause corrosion. Just keep in mind these things are 30 years old...

    Not a problem, more of a glow plug question I'm not sure about

    I bought a rather nice outdoor timer from Lowes (probably $50) that has a programmable digital timer. During the week I would give my car 3 hours of preheat and turn it off for the weekend. If I had to go somewhere, I could always program it in the night before or just hit the manual button...
