No sadly I don't. I would say to search for CUCV groups on Facebook and you might find folks who are selling parts. My first M1010, which was totally stock in the back (this was 10 years ago), I sold a bunch of the parts I pulled out to someone. So it does happen but it's finding the person...
I haven't seen one come completely apart but I have had two (on SBC engines) where the outer ring had slipped so timing marks no longer line up correctly (one was over 180* spun). I have had one where the outer ring moved inward, almost rubbing on the timing chain cover. When I pulled my 6.2L...
FYI: TH400 transmissions do NOT have a lockup convertor. They always slip some. I think there was a very rare model of TH400 that had a lockup convertor but they were never put into CUCV's or I think trucks in general. Unlike a TH350 which uses a kickdown cable, the TH400 relies on vacuum...
Might be your vacuum modulator at the trans. If that is not working, it will only allow it to shift gears at almost redline, which sounds like the engine is going to explode. I would look at replacing that first. Common issue.
What are you using to track your speed, a GPS or the speedo?
The numbers posted in the original post match close to what my M1010 sees BUT that is with 33" tall tires (255/85-16).
How did you calibrate you tach? I am running a tach hooked to the alternator and used a optical tach to get the...
4WD use the bottom style as they mount to the trans/transfer case adapter. Top one is 2WD model.
You can get the stock rubber style at NAPA, AutoZone, etc. If you really want urethane mounts, make sure you do the engine mounts too. If not, you risk cracking the trans as the front and rear...
Not sure if this should be done as well but I know in the hot rod world, if you change you motor mounts to urethane, you need to do the transmission mount as well. This keeps everything moving together equally. If having urethane motor mounts and rubber trans mounts, the rubber one will flex...
First thing I would check is the fuel shut off solenoid. If that is not opening, no fuel will get through the IP. Mine went bad, where I could hear a "click" but it wasn't moving enough to open the valve. I replaced it with a new one that went "CLICK" and it started right up. If you have...
At this point, Vintage Air is likely your best bet. Nostalgic Air had a CUCV specific kit but the company who was making their housings went out of business so they are not offering them anymore. Other than the compressor mount/style and likely hose routing to it, everything else would be the...
Tire size is also a factor you have to consider. If you are keeping the tire size 33" or under (stock was about 31") then leave the 3.73's. If you are going to 35" or taller, then I would swap back the 4.56's.
So very sorry for your loss. It is never easy to see them go over the Rainbow Bridge. I still miss our Ellie girl and that was 6 years ago she made the journey.
I used a diesel tach from Speedhut Gauges for my build. It runs off the tach output on the alternator. I used a cheap Amazon RPM checker to establish the idle RPM's and then adjusted the tach to match. Works great.

I actually put on a set of Blistein 5165, using the stock compression/extension lengths to guide my choices. They are not 100% the same but within 1/4" to 1/2"
This was on my M1010 but they should be the same for a M1008 (not sure about M1009).
