just read the add. you will need adapter and the 32 spline upgrade. not sure why he is saying this unit will bolt to a th400 when it does not have correct bolt pattern or input shaft.

The price on the 205 varies a little with model. A gm passenger drop figure 8 bolt pattern is cheaper than the round bolt patern. The figure 8 needs an adapter plate to mount to TH400. The figure 8 will bolt right up but must have proper short input shaft. There is also a large and small...

Either buy the 205 lomax, or get a 205 with ord magnum box if you are going to spend a lot of money. I don't think the tire size will matter to either the 205 or 208, the .5 difference between the two is not noticed as much with the low rpm high torque diesel. For durability which should be...

I ran those tires on many vehicles and found they were good everywhere but the mud. Never tried them in snow. The tread fills up and does not clear well making them almost like have slicks on in the mud. You have to have a lot of wheel spin to clear the tread pattern. I would think snow would...

I have the steering wheel puller, lock ring remover and pivot pin tool for anyone working on a tilt steering wheel. I also have a pitman arm puller. If someone wanted to rework their steering then they would need all of them which is around $50 plus. Many items would be better in a local loop...

yes, tci is crap. I am throwing mine away and getting the optishift. TCI is the main reason my truck is still not on the road. I only get a couple of months a year to work on it and they have used up two years worth of my time with bad units, they took 6 weeks to send me back my first unit...

It looks like they are opening another location at beltway 8 and I45 south. I saw the sign yesterday from the freeway. My 1009 wont be on the road until some time this winter but I would definitely be interested in any local shows.

Send me a pm with your info, I will see what it cost to send you my tester. All you have to do is remove the glow plugs, screw in the adapter, hook up the gauge and turn it over a couple of times and record your readings. Engine to engine the test will vary some but the important thing is to...

No one is close enough to each other to make this work on a local basis. Most tools I can think of would fit in a flat rate box. The borrower would have to pay the fees for shipping to and from but $20 to $30 bucks to get the use of a tool that would cost much more and be seldom used would be...

I was considering trying to start a community tool box, for tools specific to the CUCV or tools that are rarely used but needed such as my compression testing kit and the Tiny Tach I am about to buy. I don't plan on installing the tach permanently, I only plan to use it to calibrate my in dash...

did you change the glow plug relay? you may have the wrong one. the correct glow plug relay has isolated ground. with the wrong one installed you are grounding the hot wire to the glow plug relay when the key is on. Will cause sparks and hot wires. check to see you have the correct glow plug...

The best tool to get the old mounts out is an air-chisel. you can get the old rivets out in minutes with an air chisel. the ORD kit bolts right to the holes you remove the rivets from. no welder needed. Shock mounts bolt on also.

my first 1009 had cold start issues and shortly after had no start. It was the IP that went bad, slowly.

you would have to start it in neutral and the linkage would need to be adjusted so that it never goes into park. You have to press the brake to move from park to reverse, this works from a lever between the steering column and brake pedal. If you had it set where reverse was park, you would...

yes chemical alarm, my mount looked different than the ones show in the pics

I thought the floor mount thing was some kind of detector and not radio equipment. I had one in a 1008.

If it is still 24V. Try a jumper to the glow plug relay first **from the front battery**, you can hear it if it is clicking. If so use it to warm the glow plugs. Install a small jumper from the front battery to the IP (where pink/red wire is). Your glow plugs, the power that triggers the...

I agree that no rust is what gives a CUCV the most value. I bought a GL1009 out of Barstow just for that reason $3500 for it and that was a high price for one four years ago. I drove from Houston to Barstow to get it. It got the standard GL beat up. Bent sides, driveshaft's and cross member...
