Rebuilt drivers side alternator, 45.00 bucks , YEAAAA. The only reason I found out was I was working on glow plug relay, put my arm on alt wire at back of alt and the sparks flew. The post on alt arced a bigger hole and more or less melted the hole inside of the alternator. The alt was wired...

Wow throwing in the towel already. What makes you think that it is terminal? I would think that if the 6.2 is running that it may be something like what has been said by doghead, loose flywheel, torque converter bolts. Always blue Loctite, always. Harmonic balancer? Pull dipstick, look at oil in...

Good Luck on your journey. I see you are taking a route through northern Missouri, I being a little south of there, I-70. Lets rally for Alice on a bold ride across country. I was going to drive the M1008 340 miles and decided to just go the conservative route and trailer it anyway after I did...

Videos are very helpful. Just keep on checking in with your own insight of driving and wrenching, very little wrenching.:tank:

Never heard of the heat gun trick, look like it works!

rustystud, having a 6.2 since 1982 you get to "adapt" to the engineering limitations of certain electrical components. Having a mechanical aptitude to retrofit, re-engineer has always intrigued me even as a young child taking apart, putting back together my fathers tools. Riding motorcycles...

Replacing glow plugs with G60s. Just acquired 1008 through auction from Ft Riley and had some kind of brand called Wellman. Old one are all cooked. Surprising that engine would even start. Without going through many threads which I will do anyway, and having a 82 K30 Silverado with 6.2 I have...

Rut Roe [thumbzup][thumbzup] I first ask my lovely wife what I can make for dinner using my P38. Now that I have got her in the mood, the I "ACQUIRED" an Asset that she would look great in with the new necklace I have "Acquired" all just for Her. Just an Idea, its better to fess up early...

Blue Loctite is your friend. Use on re-assembly, flywheel bolts, torque converter bolts. If it has been said already, but make sure that the starter bracket is installed. I think I bought the last three from G.M. some years ago. For sure a hard to find part, often the wrong one is often ordered...

A nice drive into town and then load up some material. The fork "driver" see's that dually and thinks that he can be a little more aggressive with loading. Bummer, I would also go with a slider. Also since the military had them it would stay with being "original". How about instead of a window...

None taken:-D Sometimes it just gets my ire up when someone tries to denigrate a fine piece of engineering. Now having a 1008 to care for, I have found a new affection for an "old" design. Perhaps I am just getting,,,,old. NO Offence taken someoldmoose :tank:

For General Information the 379ci, 6.2 Diesel, is and was designed by Detroit Diesel. As I own one, and the same 82 Silverado K30 6.2 since new, many truckers that have talked to have a firm appreciation of what the "small" Detroit has meant to all pickup diesels since. It is not a 12v71 for...

10-2 Forum is an outstanding place for information. 10-5 10-23 10-94 10-94 10-10

I have been spending some Quality time on the Forum reading and entertaining myself with the threads about so many subjects. I will at some point find a way to post pics of our M1008. You see it is a Family Project. Thanks for the Heart felt welcome, Tinstar, and from across the world, german...

Hello Ladies and Gents. I have had Chevrolet 4X4's of some sort for many, many years. I now have added to the current fleet a 1984 D30 M1008 that I have procured from Ft, Riley. Very good condition with an interesting camo paint scheme. I will have to say that currently having a 82 K30...
