    My trans is driving me crazy!

    Problem with that is the vacuum pump is pulling about 20" of vacuum and the modulator should only be seeing about 8". It is very possible you could have damaged the modulator going direct. Also, the vacuum switch regulates a variable signal to the modulator. Directly from the pump, there is no...

    HELP! New starter problem

    When I did my DD starter to GR starter (and moved to 12v), I had to trim off the tab on the red wire that connects to the starter. It is in the wrong location and would be very close to the soleniod before I even got it tightened down. My guess is this tab is hitting the soleniod power and...

    My trans is driving me crazy!

    I agree with Warthog, if you don't have a vacuum gauge to verify what you are getting at the trans modulator, you will be chasing your tail. Test gauges are cheap, buy one and check. Mine was a combo of bad vacuum lines and modulator. After replacing the lines and it not working, I checked...

    M1010 Won't shut off

    Hi and welcome to the M1010 club! :beer: Interesting problem. I am wondering if something is bleeding power back into the system via the DUVAC or TWINPUT. There could be a capacitor that is staying energized until it bleeds off its charge and then shuts down the power. There is a wire that...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Opps, I was talking about the transfer shift bezal, since I referenced that needing a light. I'll look for those screws again. Must have missed them the first time. Mine is broken off on the upper pass. side corner so I'll be hitting the junk yards.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Thanks!!! You just saved me a bunch of time and hassle. I was thinking the light was burnt out and the two wires were for the light, not the transfer case switch. Guess I'll add a light. BTW, how did you get the bezal off? I can't seem to figure out how it's attached.

    Well...the tranny went last night in my M1009

    Are you checking the fluid after it's hot? Let the engine warm up is not warming up the trans. My Cherokee has a trans temp gauge and it take a good 20-30 mintues of stop and go driving to get it up to temp. If the fluid level is fine at operating temps, then it could be that the passages in...

    Well...the tranny went last night in my M1009

    AMMCO = Bend over and Smile! :p Run as far away as you can from them! Drop the pan, change the filter, fill up with clean, new fluid. Make sure there are not any leaks and dropping the fluid too low or a clogged filter. Well built replacement TH400 can be had all day long for $900-$1400.

    6.5 turbo vs ats vs banks kit is one better

    I would think the Banks would be the best of the three. My buddy has the ATS and is not overly impressed with it. No idea on the GM 6.5 turbo but I have read they are not a great fit for rigs that had the 6.2 engines. Something about clearance issues. I just picked up a complete Banks kit...

    rebuild kit starter

    As for the GR bracket, I actually called a local Chevy dealer and they had one in stock. You might try starting with your local dealer. All I did was to have them check stock on that part number. Never even gave them a discription, just the number.

    Steering wheel chain

    It's for security and in my M1010, the chain was welded to the seat bracket.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    I have been going through systems and getting them up to snuff. Today was an oil and filter change. Drained the coolant (very old) and removed all the cooling hoses. Flushed the block, radiator and heater core. Also swapped in my new starter bolts. Tomorrow will put all the hoses on and...

    M1010 12 volt conversion finished

    Funny you should ask, as I had the same question when I called and talk to the guy (Rich). A single rectifier has 6 diodes and a dual has 12 diodes. On larger output alts, dual is better as it puts less current thru each individual diode as it splits the load over 12 versus 6. Made sense to...

    M1010 12 volt conversion finished

    Okay, thanks for the info. I was afraid GM did something like that. I had found the AC Delco number and was just hoping I found another (and possibly better) solution. AC's it is.
