I thought at one point one of the bigger aftermarket companies (like Holley, Moroso, etc.) made an aluminum replacement pan for the P400 that would fit a truck without any mods. Not sure if it is still being made.

In the case of lighting, I am a function over form person. I did a TON of research on aftermarket LED lighting, from cheap China ones, H4 LED conversions bulbs, TruckLites, JW Speaker and everything in between. In a number of tests I found on LED lighting, the JW Speaker ones were hands down...

JW Speaker makes an awesome set of LED lights with heaters built in. I have the Evo 2 version without the heater in my Cherokee and these light rock. Will be getting a set of heated ones for my M1010. https://www.jwspeaker.com/products/led-headlights-model-8910-evolution-2/ Amazon...

Nope, just driving along and it acted like it was running out of fuel and finally died. Luckily I was able to get off the road. Would not restart. Had it towed home and started troubleshooting. Did new filter and was able to blead it without problems, cleaned the return check ball and made...

Having just gone through this issue myself, my solenoid would "click" but I wasn't getting any fuel through. After testing/trying a bunch of things, I decided to replace the solenoid anyways, with a good German made unit. When I compared the two, when installed, my old one "clicked", the new...

@Sharecropper had time to take a look and took a pic. Looks like it is advanced about what you describe. Haven't had time to try to do any adjustments and test drive.

Glad to hear you on the mend. Take care and stay safe.

Perfect, thanks!

Hi all, Did a search and didn't find the answer. Trying to find out the actual real world curb weight of a M1008. When I say real world, like actually taken to a weight station and had it weighed. I stripped my M1010 box down (actually the A/C unit is still there) and it weighed in at 6180...

Yep, first step is definitely checking the vacuum pump is actually pulling vacuum. If not, nothing after that matters. ;)

Thanks for the pics. Looks great. Now I know where I can put my trans temp sender at. I heard you could use a port in the trans but no one ever seems to show which one.

@Sharecropper So could timing being too retarded or advanced cause what feels like less power than another 6.2? Reason I ask is my first M1010 seems like it had way more power than my current one. Both had similar mileage. Both started and ran fine, no smoke at start up or under load...

Yeah, that looks like the correct TV bracket.

Also keep in mind, IF you do go for a 700R4 trans, you need to have the special, very rare and hard to find, TV cable bracket that goes between the injection pump and the TV cable at the back of the engine. Before thinking about a 700R4, get this bracket FIRST.

Honestly, before I would spend the money on doing an OD in a M1009, since you already have 3.08 gears (versus 4.56 of the other M10xx series), I would do like suggested and get a Tiny Tach (which I had in my first M1010) and get some real RPM numbers. Based on 3.08 gears, 33" tall tires at 65...

If you go that route, definitely do like I did and get a fixed yoke output. Slip yoke and double u-joints don't play well together.

Ah, missed the fact you have a M1009. Yes, my M1010 is still on 4.56 so your 3.08 would be nice for the OD. Here is a pic installed. It sits up higher than the transfer case. One thing to note though, it shortens your driveshaft about 16". On the longer wheelbase truck its not a big issue...

I am running a Gear Vendors OD and comfortably cruise at 65 mph and can get to 75-80 mph in my M1010 (flying brick). It works nice but it is still not going to give the truck a modern vehicle feel as far as driving speeds. It does help and I like that I can split gears when climbing grades...

With the Gear Vendor OD, I can cruise comfortably at 65 mph and can get to 75-80 if needed.

Drove the M1010 to the Flying Leatherneck's air museum at USMC Miramar. Looked right at home there. :)
